Comparative Maps • Correspondence table data model • Marker 1 <- Evidence -> Marker 2 • Evidence types • Sequence similarity (auto) • Marker name match (auto) • Curation types • Hybridization • Publication
Ontologies • Gene Ontology • Plant Ontology • Anatomy • Development • Trait Ontology
GO Curation • Proteins from SwissProt/TREMBL • Annotated with • Pfam, prosite, TMHMM, SignalP, Predotar • Associated to GO with Interpro2GO • Associations manually reviewed • 14,708 proteins assigned • 13,319 proteins reviewed • 16,722 of 35,065 associations reviewed
How are We Doing? • Web User Survey, December 2002 • 120 page views • 73 responses

Suggestions “your site is fantastic! I expect that I will use it for all of my grass genomic , cdna search needs. thanks, and I'm glad I found it.” “Keep up the good work. I would like to host the mirror site for India.” “The site is extremely useful. Exhaustive data and information is available and links provided to access related data base. For rice workers it is boon to get into gramene to get any information on maps , markers, data, literatures etc. thank you and keep it up.”
More Suggestions “It would be very useful to have a (BLAST) searchable database of insertional mutants and information on obtaining those lines.” “It is confusing that the details on the ENSEMBL browser only appear after extra cllicking - I still get confused about where things are in the 2 panels (top and bottom) that show since they seem so similar. Maybe a short hint about what is going on on each page or something?” “Better manual pages. Though Gramene is MUCH more intuitive than many other genome browsers I spend (waste) alot of time clicking links just to see what they do in the hope they'll give me the result I'm looking for. The above suggestion may exemplify this confusion! For all I know (or don't know) the feature I suggest may already exist!”
