Highlights of Recent Database Upgrades
Eighth Database Release (December, 2010):
- Information on 132 new genes and 292 new mutants included in the database.
- Links to archival information on embryo mutants from the Meinke
laboratory.
- Links to additional project publications and meeting abstracts.
- Link to Supplemental Gene Dataset for future additions to the database.
- Link to Supplemental Alias Symbols obtained from recent publications.
- Notification of future links to additional datasets of genes with mutant
phenotypes.
- Nine mutants with questionable gene identities removed from the database:
- EMB 1745 (At1g13120)
- EMB 2778 (At4g11820)
- EMB 1353 (At4g30090)
- EMB 1879 (At5g49820)

- EMB 1011 (At1g55540)
- EMB 2301 (At2g46770)
- EMB 3022 (At4g17810)
Seventh Database Release (December, 2007):
-
Information on 70 new genes and 150 new mutants included in the database.
-
Another 46 genes included in the Pending Additions link on the Access page.
-
New list of 62 genes (31 pairs) that give a double mutant seed phenotype.
-
New list of 1,412 embryo-defective mutants recently contributed to ABRC.
-
Option to download Excel spreadsheet versions of all mutants and genes.
-
Updated information on mutant phenotypes and predicted gene functions.
-
Updated sequence and BLAST information consistent with TAIR 7.0.
-
Direct links to Nomarski image montages from compiled lists of mutants.
Prior Changes in Database and Website Design
-
Access to SeedGenes no longer requires registration and log-in.
-
Direct links to internal pages can therefore be generated in the future.
-
Database upgraded from Oracle to MySQL to facilitate future development.
Sixth Database Release (September, 2004):
- Information on 34 new genes and 48 new mutants included in the database.
- A tutorial with detailed instructions on analysis of embryo-defective mutants.
- Mutants and gene identities contributed by INRA/Genoplante collaborators.
- Improved visualization of flanking sequence details for insertion mutants.
- Updated gene information based on TIGR 5.0 and TAIR (November, 2004).
- Additional classification system based on the confidence of gene identity.
- Ability to query the database with lists of genes and find those included.
- Automated BLAST results based on updated GenBank and TIGR information.
- Links to seed stocks at the Arabidopsis Biological Resource Center (ABRC).
- Additional Nomarski images of cleared seeds from embryo-defective mutants.
- Updated lists of SeedGenes personnel and links to project publications.
- Descriptions of outreach activities associated with the SeedGenes project.
