The Gramene Browser for maize presents results from the Maize Genome Sequencing Project.

Further details are available from the MaizeSequence.org web site.

Accessioned BAC Browser

• The BAC database contains the 504 full-length Zea mays clones deposited with GenBank as of 26-Jan-2006.
• Sequences from various grass species including rice and maize were mapped to the BACs using the Gramene pipeline. E.g. AC149836. Mapping results for the sequence data sets are available in detailed form.
• Gene models were predicted using the FGENESH HMM-based ab initio gene prediction program, and their domains annotated using interproscan. E.g. FGENESHP0005329
• Putative orthologs between rice, Arabidopsis and maize gene models were generated using Ensembl's compara pipeline. E.g. FGENESHG0005329

Maize Agarose FPC Map

• The FPC database contains the 721 contigs from the AGI 19 Jul 2005 agarose map. [more] [citation]
• Accessioned BACs within the FPC map have been highlighted. E.g. ctg3
• Syntenic regions between the maize FPC map (AGI maize FPC map released on April 5, 2006) and the rice genome (TIGR v4) were estimated, and loaded into Ensembl. E.g. Maize chr9 Vs Rice
• The accessioned BACS will be merged into the FPC map database in the near future.
