Phytozome v5.0 released. Version 5.0 of Phytozome is now available, and incorporates both updated and newly released plant genomes. Eighteen genomes (eleven of which were sequenced at the Joint Genome Institute) are clustered into gene families defined at 15 evolutionarily significant nodes. Genomes newly incorporated into Phytozome include Mimulus guttatus (monkey flower), Cucumis sativus (cucumber), Ricinis comunis (castor bean),and Manihot esculenta (cassava), the latter having been part of a limited release in v4.1. Updated genomes include the long anticipated v2.0 release of Populus trichocarpa (poplar), Arabidopsis thaliana, Medicago truncatula, Oryza sative (rice), and Chlamydomans reinhardtii. Please see the details page for more information on these genomes.

Pseudomolecule maize assembly and annotation now available at Phytozome. Maize version 4a.53 Pseudomolecule assembly and annotation from maizesequence.org is now available for browsing and BLASTing. Also included are 454 shotgun reads from maize variant Mo17, aligned directly against the genome as well as aligned after Newbler pre-assembly.
