From katica at acoma.Stanford.EDU Fri Dec 17 15:33:09 2004 From: katica at acoma.Stanford.EDU (Katica Ilic) Date: Fri, 17 Dec 2004 12:33:09 -0800 (PST) Subject: First release of the gene annotations for Arabidopsis, rice and maize Message-ID: The Plant Ontology Consortium is pleased to announce the first release of gene annotations for Arabidopsis, rice and maize associated to the Plant Structure Ontology terms. Over 3,000 gene annotations from three species-specific databases, TAIR, Gramene and MaizeGDB, can now be queried and retrieved using our ontology browser, the Plant Ontology AmiGO. You can perform searches using plant ontology terms and gene symbols; filtering options allow you to retrieve annotations for all or a subset of species (for details, please see the AmiGO Help document). We hope the plant research community will benefit from using this resource. Please fell free to contact us with additional requests for on-line help with browser and information about the plant ontologies and annotations (po at plantontology.org).
