Biofuel Feedstock Genomics Resource
The Biofuel Feedstock Genomics Resource (BFGR) is a USDA/DOE funded project that provides uniform annotation of gene and transcript assembly sequences for a wide variety of model genome and lignocellulosic biofuel crop species. The bioinformatic tools within BFGR will be of use to researchers who are studying plants that are important for lignocellulosic biofuel production.
Using our search page, annotation for a particular sequence can be found using BLAST alignments, sequence identifiers or functional annotation keywords. Users may also search for sequences in our model genome-based genome browsers. Small sequence repeats (SSRs) and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from particular species can be found using our search page.
Currently, sequence data from 23 model genome and lignocellulosic biofuel feedstock species have been analyzed and annotated.
BFGR is maintained and hosted by the Buell Lab in the Plant Biology Department at Michigan State University.
Quick Annotation Search
What's New
1 January 2010
Several new types of annotation have been added to the database. Sequences have been annotated with InterPro domains, GO terms and KEGG ortholog homologies, and linkages have been made to KEGG pathways. The Search Tools have been updated to search on these new annotation types. All of these annotations are viewable within the annotation report pages.
See the What's New page for more information.
