Our BLAST server is currently down and inaccessible due to a system issue. You can perform local BLAST searches from downloaded FASTA files here: lotus.au.dk/data/download

Our BLAST page and BLAST-related tools are now back online again: read the post-mortem here: lotus.au.dk/blog/announcem…

Version 1.2 of the Lotus japonicus Gifu genome is now publicly available: alongside with additional data such as gene predictions, GO annotations, InterPro domain predictions and more #lotusjaponicus #gifu #genome lotus.au.dk/blog/announcem…

And the preprint for Gifu v1.2 genome is also now available on bioRxiv

A new L. japonicus Gifu reference genome is now available LotusBase stiguandersen academic.oup.com/dnaresearch/ar…

The high-quality L. japonicus MG20 genome by Li et al. (2020) is now available on Lotus Base in the following tools: 🧬 JBrowse: lotus.au.dk/genome/?data=g… 🧬 BLAST: lotus.au.dk/blast/ 📖 The publication: doi.org/10.3390/genes1…

We are experiencing some issues with our database server, so some services may be unavailable. A fix is in the works.

Everything is back up and running as usual.

We’re proud to launch the Lotus Expression Atlas tool, powered by D3.js D3.js and SciPy Scientific Python lotus.au.dk/blog/announcem… #data #science

Coming near you: a phylogenetic tree builder using Newick input and d3.js ;) #js #d3 #svg #biology #phylogeny #DataVisualization

Coming soon: domain prediction, InterPro data integration and GO annotations 🌟 #webdev #rest #embl #ebi #d3 #js

We have updated our LORE1 order form—a more informative and friendly way of ordering your favourite Lotus mutant #webdev #mapbox #geocoding

I just published “Using InterProScan like a pro” medium.com/p/using-interp…

We have just updated Lotus BLAST lotus.au.dk/blast/ to run on SequenceServer 1.0.9 sequenceserver.com thanks @yeban and Yannick Wurm 🐜🐝🦋 @[email protected]

We have migrated away from IP-based content restriction, and using user accounts and groups instead lotus.au.dk/blog/announcem…

Our Lotus Base manuscript has been published at Scientific Reports nature.com/articles/srep3… 🎉 #bioinformatics #datamining #webdev #research

We have fixed a crucial issue with our Expression Atlas where color scales are not being computed properly when switching palettes #bugfix

We have patched an important XSS vulnerability on our site, as reported on openbugbounty.org/reports/340979/. Fixed in github.com/lotusbase/lotu…

We are increasing storage space on our web servers right now, so please be patient with general sluggishness on Lotus Base.
