Dear Gramene collaborators, <br>
<br>
As you all know, we have been busy here at the Plant Ontology,
preparing for a new release of the database. We hope to have it up
live in the next week or so.<br>
<br>
A <b>beta</b> version of the latest release of the PO is now
available on our AmiGO Browser (<a moz-do-not-send="true"
class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://beta.plantontology.org:8080/amigo/go.cgi">http://beta.plantontology.org:8080/amigo/go.cgi</a>).
Along with the Ontology itself the beta browser also is loaded with
some test annotation files (not the full set of files at this
point). <br>
<br>
<br>
You can download the ontology files in OBO-Edit format from: <a
moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://palea.cgrb.oregonstate.edu/viewsvn/Poc/branches/beta/ontology/OBO_format/">http://palea.cgrb.oregonstate.edu/viewsvn/Poc/branches/beta/ontology/OBO_format/</a><br>
<br>
There is a readme.txt file on the same page explaining what is
different among the files available. <br>
<br>
Further information on the upcoming release can be obtained from: <a

<br>
Thank you very much and please let me know if you have any problems
or questions,<br>
<br>
Sincerely,<br>
<br>
