LORE1 Genome Browser & BLAST

LORE1 lines can now be searched using JBROWSE at Phytozome.

LORE1 lines should be ordered through the webshop. The price is 200€ per line.

BLAST searches against Lotus japonicus Gifu v. 1.3 can also be carried out on Phytozome.

Note: JGI is changing its login system on July 27, 2026. You'll need to use an ORCIDid with two-factor authentication turned on: more details here.
