What's new on the NAGRP animal genome web site (#3 2011)

o Announcing Release 15 of the Animal QTLdb with 14,239 total QTL in 
  the database: (Break down: Cattle QTL: 4,802; Chicken QTL: 2,451; Pig 
  QTL: 6,347; Sheep QTL: 639.  New QTL added to the database since the 
  Release 14: Cattle: 120; Pig: 3; Sheep: 185). 
  URL: http://www.animalgenome.org/QTLdb/ 

  *** QTL data submission to the Animal QTLdb is now required by several 
  journals prior to the publication of your paper. We encourage you submit 
  your QTL data directly to the database through the curator web portal 
  (http://www.animalgenome.org/QTLdb/app.html) to speed up your paper review. 

o A good news for AnGenMap listserv users - the File Share Platform can 
  now be used as an alternative to share non-plain-text files that are 
  normally not allowed as email attachments on the AnGenMap listserv 
  (e.g. .PDF, .doc, .xls, .ppt, .xlm, files etc.)

o SNPlotz: Horse 54k and 74k SNP chip data has been added to SNPlotz. 
  This expands the capabilities of SNPlotz to now include 7 SNPchip 
  Datasets in 3 species. If you would like additional functions added 
  to this tool please contact us with your ideas.

o A new GBrowse application has been setup for the horse with NCBI gene 
  annotation data. Currently the custom data tracks for the horse include 
  54k/74k SNPs, 3k RH and 10k STS marker data.

  *** If there are Gbrowse custom tracks that you would like developed 
  for any of the livestock species, please contact us. We would love to 
  hear from you. 

o An experimental pig genome database is under development. A number of 
  new functions and utilities are under development.  If you have any 
  new idea for a pig genome database to better serve your purpose, 
  please feel free to send your suggestions, note "pig genome database" 
  in the "subject:" line, to bioinfo-teamanimalgenome.org 
  URL: http://www.animalgenome.org/pig/genome/db/ 

o A local copy of the Biomart has been installed on AnimalGenome.ORG to 
  serve the livestock research community. Currently, queries against the 
  pigs, cattle, chicken and horse genomes are supported.  More species 
  will be added upon the availability of the data.

o The Blast Extension Analysis Program (BEAP) has been modified to 
  assist users for easier setup. See the updated manual for details. 
  URL: http://www.animalgenome.org/tools/beap/ 

o The NAGRP data repository has been expanded to host supplementary data 
  for publications. If you are looking for an online host for additional 
  data to your publication, feel free to contact us at 
  bioinfo-teamanimalgenome.org 
  URL: http://www.animalgenome.org/repository/pub/ 

o The new pig genome assembly has been actively improved during the 
  summer.  The most recent build 10.2 has been submitted to NCBI and is 
  available for blast analysis on the NAGRP blast server

As always, suggestions from the livestock community are always welcome. We
are here to serve to community. You can either call Jim Reecy at +1-515-
294-9269 or send us a note at bioinfo-teamanimalgenome.org
