Assembly and Annotation

This release is based on an import into the Ensembl schema database of the TAIR release 8 of the Arabidopsis thaliana genome, performed by the Nottingham Arabidopsis Stock Centre (NASC).

Additional annotations generated by the Gramene project include:

• Mapping to the genome of multiple sequence-based feature sets, Details...
• Generation of phylogenetic trees, and orthologue/paralogue designations between Arabidopsis thaliana and several plant and metazoan species, using Ensembl's compara pipeline.
• Whole genome alignments between Arabidopsis thaliana and the genomes of Grape and Poplar and Arabidopsis lyrata were generated by Ensembl's blastz-chain-net pipeline
