TAIR back in service and news stuff at TAIR

[Sue Rhee]

Dear Arabidopsis researchers,

TAIR has been back online since 2 AM PST this morning (5/8).

There are a few new items at TAIR:

1. WU BLAST2
http://arabidopsis.org/wublast/index2.html
Includes a cool summary graphic of HSPs.

2. New datasets for BLAST, FASTA, and PatternMatching.
New datasets added recently include:

	o T-DNA and transposon insertion flanking sequences
	o 3000 bp upstream and downstream of loci
	o 1000 bp upstream and downstream of loci

(500 bp upstream/downstream, intergenic, and intron sequence databases are
also available for downloading now and will be available for the sequence
analysis programs soon)

These datasets are available for the sequence analysis programs at:
http://arabidopsis.org/tools/

and for downloading from the ftp site:
ftp://ftp.arabidopsis.org/home/tair/Sequences/blast_datasets/

3. New bulk query and retrival available for Protein characteristics,
Sequences, and Gene Ontology functional annotations at:

http://arabidopsis.org/tools/bulk/

4. Stock order history searching at:

http://arabidopsis.org/servlets/Order?state=search&mode=stock_number

(You can also view your own order history and order history of stocks you
donated by loggin on)

5. Approximately 95 Mb of Landsberg erecta single-pass sequences at:

http://arabidopsis.org/Cereon/index.html
