What's new in GrainGenes in 2004?

Sequence

• TREP, the Triticeae Repeat Sequence Database, from Thomas Wicker.
  Release 6, forty new repeats.
• Exemplar sequences from the Affymetrix Barley1 GeneChip.
  From BarleyBase.
• All the special GrainGenes BLAST databases, the ones you can search here ("Mapped wheat ESTs", etc.) are now available for downloading in FASTA format so you can blastall your own sequences against them.
