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. Please note that the price shown at checkout includes tax but in some countries the tax is not needed.

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 ORCID with two-factor authentication turned on: more details here.
