It features Oryza sativa (rice) as a reference species for the curation of cellular-level pathway networks by employing the Reactome data model. This reference set of curated rice pathways is being used to generate gene-orthology based pathway projections for 74 additional species. In this webinar, Justin Preece <https://events-na8.adobeconnect.com/content/connect/c1/1148320334/en/events…> from Plant Reactome will summarize addition of new content and functionality, and demonstrate visualization and integration of of gene-gene interaction data on pathways using examples from Arabidopsis. Similar analysis can be done with gene sets from any of the 75 species data we host including on maize, soy, wheat, barley, sorghum, etc. We will also demonstrate how your bioinformatics resources and analysts can fetch the pathway annotations and images remotely using APIs. The Gramene webinar series consists of monthly FREE 30-min webinars during which we strive to provide a quick overview of the data, tools, and services that the Gramene Project offers for comparative genomics visualization and analysis. At the end of this webinar, participants will have an opportunity to ask questions and interact with Gramene staff.
