Quick Start
- GENOMES: Browse sequenced genomes for Oryza Sativa, Oryza rufipogon, Maize & Arabidopsis; Look for rice/maize synteny; Narrow your search with GrameneMart; Search for sequence alignment with BLAST; search by Gene Ontology.
- PROTEINS: Search by PFam or ProSite or Browse by Gene Ontology using GO Slim.
- MAPS: Browse genetic or physical maps for Wild Rice (Oryza sp.), Rice, Maize, Wheat, Barley, Oats, Sorghum, and other grasses, or use the Comparative Map Viewer (CMap) to compare maps of different types and species.
- MARKERS: Search for Genetic markers (RFLPs, SSRs, etc.), DNA Probes (Primers, Overgos, etc.), Genomic Regions (Clones, FPContigs, etc.), and Sequences (GSSs, ESTs, etc.); Use the Simple Sequence Repeat Identification Tool (SSRIT); or search by species, including Rice (Oryza sativa), Maize, Sorghum and Others.
- TRAITS: Search the Genes or QTL database for important phenotype-releated loci such as Rice Genes, Rice QTL, Maize QTL. Don't forget to explore traits in Ontologies.
- GENETIC DIVERSITY: Search for SNP and SSR allelic variation on loci of rice, maize, and wheat germplasms.
- BIOCHEMICAL PATHWAYS: Search for ALL the rice pathways on starch biosynthesis or get an overview of the metabolic network. Compare rice and Arabidopsis pathway datasets.
- LITERATURE: Search the literature for your friends and topics of interest.
- SPECIES PAGES provide overview information, pictures, and links to Gramene data for Oryza, Zea, Triticum, Hordeum, Avena, Setaria, Pennisetum, Secale, Sorghum, Zizania and Brachypodium.
- SUBMISSION: Submit a Rice Gene or Ontology Term to Gramene, or ask a question.
Note! Although we continually work to make Gramene compatible with all browsers, if you're having difficulty viewing Gramene, try using a different browser. Please report any problems with browsers through Gramene Feedback.

Gramene Tip:
Gramene is a curated, open-source, data resource for comparative genome analysis in the grasses. 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.
