Hi Folks,

We are planning to generate new unigene data sets for Rosaceae genera and would like to be able to include next generation transcript data in the unigene data sets. Some of you have already provided your assembled data and we will include those in the next builds (unigene v5) with acknowledgement of who generated the data sets and what tissues/development stage etc were included.

Please let me know if you have any datasets you would like included by the end of March as we will begin the process at the beginning of April.

In terms of the annotation we will provide the following for the unigene sequences.

GO Terms, InterPro Scan domains, KEGG, Swissprot, TrEMBL annotation, relevant plant protein homologs which will be searchable, browsable and downloadable (with all summary statistics)

Mapping of the unigenes to the peach, apple and strawberry genomes (excel file linked to GBrowse and a GBrowse track)

Identification of microsatellites and COS markers (also available as downloadable file and linked to GBrowse).

Thanks

Dorrie
