Textpresso now includes publications from 2011

June 21, 2011

The SGD full-text literature search (powered by Textpresso) has been upgraded and updated to include 58,000 papers. Textpresso now includes the ability to restrict your searches to a subset of PMIDs as well as limit the results to a specific section of a paper. The full-text literature search can be accessed via the Full-text Search link on the home page. Thanks to Arun Rangarajan and Hans-Michael Muller from Wormbase for their help upgrading the software.

New Genome-wide High-throughput Data Tracks Added to GBrowse and PBrowse

June 9, 2011

We’ve added new data tracks to our GBrowse genome viewer from eight publications, including recent surveys of nucleosome occupancy and positioning (Kaplan et al., 2009; Field et al., 2008; Mavrich et al., 2008; Lee et al., 2007); ncRNAs and RNA secondary structures (Lardenois et al., 2011 and Kertesz et al., 2010); and transcription factor and RNA Pol II occupancy (Venters et al., 2011 and Mayer et al., 2010). We have also added a data track to our Pbrowse proteome browser, displaying mature N-termini of mitochondrial proteins as determined by Vögtle et al., 2009. Both GBrowse and PBrowse have been upgraded to the most recent software with several new features.
We invite authors to work with us to integrate their data into our GBrowse and PBrowse viewers pre- and/or post-publication as we move forward. Watch for the regular addition of new tracks to SGD’s GBrowse and PBrowse in the future! Please contact us if you are interested in participating or have questions and comments.
