Gramene was funded by the USDA IFAFS programme to create a curated, open-source, Web-accessible data resource for comparative genome analysis in the grasses. Data formerly in RiceGenes is now integrated in Gramene. Our goal is to facilitate the study of cross-species homology relationships using information derived from public projects involved in genomic and EST sequencing, protein structure and function analysis, genetic and physical mapping, interpretation of biochemical pathways, gene and QTL localization and descriptions of phenotypic characters and mutations.
The name is a play on the name of the Grameen Bank which specializes in small loans to the poor (mostly women) in emerging economies.
Gramene is a joint project shared between the laboratories and computer resources of Dr. Lincoln Stein, Cold Spring Harbor; Dr. Samuel Cartinhour, USDA Center for Agricultural Bioinformatics, Cornell University (sc167@cornell.edu) and Dr. Susan McCouch, Cornell University.
