where are these data?

[Scott Poethig]

Dear curator,

I have been trying to locate the potential position of a maize gene 
of interest (Teopod2) in rice by searching for the position of 
sequenced, core maize markers in Gramene.  However, when I search for 
the closest linked core maize molecular markers, UMC163a and UMC259a, 
in Gramene, it does not return any records.  Since these markers are 
core mapping markers, I must be doing something wrong. How do I find 
the position of these markers on the syntenic rice-maize maps?

Also, I have been trying to find the position of rice miRNAs in 
Gramene, with no luck. I could do a BLAST search using their 
sequences (retrieved from microrna.sanger.ac.uk/cgi-bin/sequences/). 
However, I assume that you have annotated miRNAs and I am just 
looking in the wrong field. How do I find records for miR156, for 
example?

Thanks for your help,

Scott
