SimpleMine Update: Biotype, GO term, RNAi clone and more
We have added new data fields to SimpleMine, a batch download tool for essential gene information. Users can now access biotype, GO term, and RNAi clones through this simple web interface.
We also added more information to previously existing data fields. All references, including books, reviews, meeting abstracts, and primary research articles, are now listed in the Reference field. For genetic map position, we display error rates of the genetic mapping data. In addition to all “live” gene objects, users can now search for pseudogene or “suppressed” gene objects.
