What's new on the NAGRP animal genome web site (#3, 2006):

o The QTLdb is now open to public for data entry and updates.
   One will need to register in order to enter his/her own data:
   http://www.animalgenome.org/QTLdb/app.html  The benefits being a
   QTLdb curator are: (1) You can enter or update your data at any
   time; (2) You may wish to keep your data "private" or "public";
   (3) You can take advantages of QTLdb's internal comparative viewer
   to exam your data against other public data as a study tool.

o The PigQTLdb has evolved into an "Animal QTLdb" which has its
   preliminary release at http://www.animalgenome.org/QTLdb/.
   This release contains more pig data, and with newly added cattle
   and chicken data as well.

o New features has been added to the GO Classifications Counter. Now
   users can upload their own classifications as a counting guide, and
   have options to count either single occurrences or all occurrences.

o The NAGRP Bioinformatics FTP site has been moved from the old
   http://db.genome.iastate.edu/ftp/share/ to a new location at
   http://www.animalgenome.org/...bioinfo/tools/share/ Now the content
   is served through a HTTP server.

o The number of registered members to the Animal Genome Research
   Community Directory is nearly 1,000.  The members represent a
   wide spectrum of different research fields, subject species,
   working affiliations and countries/regions in the world.

o A database is setup for the AquaGenomics community members to share
   their publications.  Any registered member can upload their paper
   to the archive and manage his/her own list of publications along
   with the directory information.
