Recent (2008-present)  peer reviewed website: websites going online before 2006 have been minimally updated, and are not listed here although they are still online. Newer web applications on our servers  or powered by iPlant, University of Arizona:

 

I. CoGe. Now at iPlant, administered by itÕs lead developer, E. Lyons.  (Peer reviewed with each of the E. Lyons publications above, beginning with Lyons and Freeling, 2008.) This tool box is highly utilized by comparative genome biologists, especially working with plants and microbes, from all over the world.

CoGe= Compare Genomes, an online suit of tools for the comparison of multiple genomes, segments, genes, sequences, ENCODE-like features and motifs in an evolutionarily useful way:

III.  Arabidopsis gene positional history website. Peer reviewed

 

Some past websites carrying Freeling lab data 7/98- 2006.

http://128.32.88.35/grassweb/  Under re-construction with serious database issues; 14 years old.   This is the Grass Hybrids Database, located on a Department of Plant and Microbial Biology server. Here the public can research evidence for or against interspecies and intergeneric hybridizability among the about 10,000 species in the grass family. Funding from the Syngenta Corp via a grant to UC-Berkeley. Collaborator: E.A. Kellogg.

http://mtm.cshl.edu/  This is the Maize Targeted Mutagenesis (reverse genetics: maize gene knockout project) database, an NSF Plant Genome Project centered at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. Freeling is one of three PIs, and the PI in charge of seedling phenotypes; R. Martienssen is PI. About 8,000 families of segregating maize are included on this website. Many (total of 20%) of these families segregate useful new mutants caused by transposon Mu insertion. The public may search. Server at Cold Spring Harbor.

http://www.maizegdb.org/rescuemu-phenotype.php  The is the maizeGDB website,

phenotypes subsection. Freeling is one of several PIs of this NSF project centered at Stanford. (Walbot, PI). Several thousand families have been screened for segregating new mutants. Data is available to the public. Server at Iowa State University.

 

Publications from research in the Freeling lab from which Freeling removed his name from the byline, ending in 2009.  The most common reason was because the paper was the result of a collaboration initiated by Damon Lisch, a PI in the Freeling lab.
