Project Collaborations
The current 4a.53 release of MaizeSequence.org includes data generated by various collaborators based on the new draft of the maize assembly. We will continue to integrate external data from existing collaborators as well as other contributors. Please drop us a line if you would like to contribute data sets to be available publicly.
- RNA-seq leaf data. Leaf-tip and leaf-base expression data based on the RNA-seq platform.
- Tom Brutnell and Qi Sun, Cornell University
- Maize Nested Association Map (NAM). Markers designating chromosomal segments used for genotyping maize recombinant inbred lines (RILs).
- Mike McMullen and Ed Buckler, The Maize Diversity Project
- Maize centromeres. Centromeric predictions based on centromeric repeat motifs.
- Gernot Presting, University of Hawaii
- Optical map gaps. Regions of discordance between the FPC-based genome assembly and the optical map.
- David Schwartz and Shiguo Zhou, University of Wisconsin
- TWINSCAN transcript and EST predictions. Alternate computational predictions based on probability models and whole-genome alignment to rice and public EST sequences.
- Brad Barbazuk, University of Florida
- TE Consortium Repeats. Repeats that were predicted in-house based on curated hierarchical repeat-family exemplars
- Jeff Bennetzen, Susan Wessler, Ning Jiang, R. Kelly Dawe, and Phillip SanMiguel. The Maize Transposable Element Consortium
- Maize variations. Polymorphic sites identified in a genetic diversity survey of the 27 inbred lines that make up the maize nested association mapping population. The sites represented here consist of 1.38 million SNPs and 240 thousand short indels derived from sequencing-by-synthesis (SBS) approaches.
- Ed Buckler and Doreen Ware, The Maize Diversity Project
- Full-length cDNAs. Sequences that have been used both for gene-building and provided as mRNA alignments.
- Yeisoo Yu, Arizona Genomics Institute
