POPcorn: PrOject Portal for corn

The Project Portal for corn provides a single point of access for maize researchers by providing a searchable database of maize projects and resources, and by enabling researchers to retrieve data from multiple sources with one sequence query.

What you can do with POPcorn (shortcuts)

Search for maize projects and resources Use the search options on the main search page or check the left-hand menu for short cuts to some specific types of projects and resources. Find mutant alleles: Starting with your sequence, search for seed stock from the UniformMu, TILLING, and other projects containing mutant alleles in your gene of interest. The link will provide the correct settings for this search. Find publications associated with your sequence: POPcorn will check multiple sources to see if your sequence, or a similar sequence is associated with a publication. The link will provide the correct settings for this search. Align your sequence on genome browsers: POPcorn will align your sequence on assemblies, including the B73 genome and Maize Assembled Genomic Islands, using BLAST. Where possible, the BLAST hits will be uploaded as a custom track. The link will provide the correct settings for this search. BLAST against multiple datasets: Find matching or similar sequences by BLASTing against many maize data sets available on the web.
