What's new on the NAGRP animal genome web site (#3, 2005):

FUNCTIONS:
=========
- New sequence databases have been added to the NAGRP blast server:

   o UniGene unique sequences from Human, Cattle, Chicken and Pigs
   o Cattle genomics sequences in 320,500 fragments (updated June 12)
   o 4.5 million Pig sequences including ~3.8 million fragments from
     Sino-Danish project representing 0.66x coverage of the pig genome

   URL: http://www.animalgenome.org/blast/

- The Expeditor tool is installed on a faster server where the blast
   subject EST databases are automatically updated weekly, which include
   TIGR Indices for Pigs, Cow, Chicken, Rainbow Trout, Atlantic Salmon,
   and Catfish; NCBI Unigene for Pigs, Cow, Chicken, and Sheep.

- Crittenden Genomics References is now managed with MySQL -- the
   search is made much easier and faster

- A web form is made available to public with which you can enter new
   meetings/ workshops/ short-courses information into the database
   that serves several livestock research communities:

INFORMATION:
===========

- ANGENMAP Discussion Group has changed its address:
   Forum: angenmapanimalgenome.org
   Subscription: angenmap-requestanimalgenome.org

- NAGRP cattle, pigs and aqua-genomics web sites have a new home:
   OLD: http://www.genome.iastate.edu
   NEW: http://www.animalgenome.org/   (UPDATE YOUR BOOKMARK!)

   Tip: To update your bookmark, or if you have difficulty to reach
        certain page you used to use, only change the domain part
        of an URL, and keep the path, like in:

   OLD: http://www.genome.iastate.edu/~hu/expeditor
   NEW: http://www.animalgenome.org/~hu/expeditor

   OLD: http://www.genome.iastate.edu/...resources/intro.html
