February 17, 2023

Updated annotation (ATL_v3) for the phased assembly for Atlantic tetraploid potato is now available. Also, annotation is now available for the updated M82 assembly SollycM82_v1.

February 11, 2022

The chromosome-scale and haplotype-resolved genome assembly and annotation of a cultivated autotetraploid potato "Cooperation-88" (C88) is now available on SpudDB. The contigs were generated from PacBio HiFi reads and anchored to 48 chromosomes using a genetic population and Hi-C data. The data files and a Jbrowse instance are available on the data access page.

January 26, 2022

The Buell Lab at the University of Georgia is pleased to make available an updated set of genome annotation (UGA-v1) for the M82 tomato cultivar. We generated transcript and functional annotations for the previously published long-read assembly of the M82 genome (Alonge et al. 2019 Genome Biology) using mRNA-seq and Oxford Nanopore full-length cDNA libraries. The annotation can also be viewed on a Jbrowse genome browser or search on the SpudDB BLAST server.

The Buell Lab at Michigan State University is pleased to make available an updated long-read chromosome-scale genome assembly (v6.1) for the doubled monoploid potato S. tuberosum Group Phureja DM 1-3 516 R44 . The assembly is being released before publication for use by public and private research communities as a resource to facilitate plant biology discoveries and plant breeding programs. The v6.1 genome assembly is available on the data access page.

March 14, 2020

The haplotype resolved genome assembly and annotation of the heterozygous diploid potato RH89-039-16 is now avaiaible on SpudDB. More information about the assembly, download links, and a Jbrowse instance are available on the data access page.

Feb 5, 2018

The paper Genome sequence of M6, a diploid inbred clone of the high glycoalkaloid-producing tuber-bearing potato species Solanum chacoense, reveals residual heterozygosity been published in The Plant Journal. Thee genome assembly and annotation are available from the Data Dryad data repository.

Feb 1, 2016

The Buell lab at Michigan State have created a new pseudomolecule (chrUn) created from assembled DM reads that did not map to v4.03 and released it as v4.04. The pseudomolecules chr00-chr12 remain the same as v4.03. The v4.04 FASTA file can be downloaded from the PGSC Data Release Page and searched against on the SpudDB BLAST server. More details about chrUn can be found in Hardigan et al. (2016)

Jun 19, 2015

SNPs for the Solanum tuberosum cultivars Atlantic and Superior are now available as tracks on the Spud DB genome browser

September 8, 2014

The BLAST tool has been updated and now uses NCBI BLAST instead of the previous WU-BLAST. The output from the BLAST search now includes a graphical summary and an enhanced output layout as well.

April 4, 2014

An update has been made to the Breeder's Assistant Tools. Searching for SNPs via gene annotation is no longer case sensitive, leading to more complete search results.

March 28, 2014

A paper describing the resources, tools and data available in Spud DB has been published in the journal The Plant Genome.

December 13, 2013
