Abstract
This review explores the UK CropNet site. The project is aimed at aiding the comparative mapping of cereal and other crop genomes. The site provides software tools for use by those working on genome mapping, and access to an array of databases that will be of interest to all members of the plant genomics research community, using several ACeDB interfaces. All screen views from the website are reproduced with the kind permission of Dr Sean May, Director, Nottingham Arabidopsis Stock Centre (NASC).
Highlights
UK CropNet consists of project groups at the John Innes Centre (JIC), the Nottingham Arabidopsis Stock Centre (NASC), the Scottish Crop Research Institute (SCRI) and the Institute of Grassland and Environmental Research (IGER)
The AceBrowser interface offers a search of a huge selection of subsections within any chosen database, for example, the Arabidopsis Genome Resource can be searched across categories such as Arabidopsis protein, gene name, locus, author and clone (Figure 5)
On other pages of the site, the content of this area changes to include links relevant to the contents of each page. This area provides links to the home pages of the institutes hosting the project teams and other related sites, such as those relating to ACeDB
Summary
UK CropNet consists of project groups at the John Innes Centre (JIC), the Nottingham Arabidopsis Stock Centre (NASC), the Scottish Crop Research Institute (SCRI) and the Institute of Grassland and Environmental Research (IGER) (for details see http://ukcrop.net/projects.html). UK CropNet aims to produce databases and bioinformatic tools for the study of plant genome evolution. The site author is Keith Bradnam of the Nottingham Arabidopsis Stock Centre
