From zhu@iastate.edu Thu May 3 08:47:06 2007 Date: Thu, 03 May 2007 08:46:59 -0500 From: Zhiliang Hu Subject: What's new on the NAGRP animal genome web site (#2, 2007) To: Multiple Recipients of What's new on the NAGRP animal genome web site (#2, 2007): - 1 - A new interface to the AnGenMap mailing list and member directory is created (the old interface/forms were heavily hacked and services suspended since January). URL: http://www.animalgenome.org/cgi-bin/angenmap/angendir Besides the newly added security measures, the new design also offers more functions: o You can edit your profile o You can manage your subscription/unsubscription to AnGenMap through a web form (the usual "angenmap-request" way still works). o You can manage your primary and alternative email addresses (suppose you have multiple mail boxes and you wish to receive AnGenMap mails on one while can post from all others) o Personalized passwords (previously common password for all) and automated password help for you to change/retrieve your password. o A set of managing tool is also built so now you can ask the site manager to delete an entry (previously this was not available). - 2 - An NAGRP sheep genomics web site is setup to list all sheep genome research related resources, links and databases. URL: http://www.animalgenome.org/sheep/ - 3 - A number of new structural genomics information are aligned to respective QTL maps. These include: o Respective Affy array elements to QTL maps for pigs and cattle. o Respective Oligo array elements to QTL maps for pigs and cattle. o SNPs stored in Genbank to respective chicken, pigs and cattle QTL maps. Check out each map at http://www.animalgenome.org/QTLdb for more details. The QTLdb user guide, "the Frequently asked questions: An Introduction to using the QTLdb" is also updated. URL: http://www.animalgenome.org/QTLdb/faq.html If you have an Affy/Oligo expressed data set for map locations to aid the expression data/QTL information mining, please contact us. - 4 - More functions are added to the GO Terms Classifications Counter: now the "counted terms" and "odd terms" are listed along with their occurrences to help users better analyze and improve their GO terms classifications.
