The i5k Workspace@NAL team is streamlining services, in order to gain more time to focus on services that i5k Workspace@NAL users actually want and need. A recent evaluation of user needs demonstrated that the i5k Workspace's gene pages do not provide much value. The data represented in these pages are available elsewhere - NCBI's GenBank or RefSeq databases display information at the gene and protein level; the i5k Workspace@NAL and Ag Data Commons provide information at the dataset level. From a technical perspective, the gene pages are challenging and time-consuming to maintain. Finally, we have not been able to provide gene pages for all gene sets due to personnel shortages.
As a result, we have decided to remove all gene pages from the i5k Workspace.
What does this mean for your dataset? This does not mean that the data are lost, or not accessible anymore. You can still find the data at the i5k Workspace@NAL and NCBI (GenBank or RefSeq), and in some cases the Ag Data Commons. Links to these resources are compiled in each dataset page - see the table below for names and links of datasets for which we have removed gene and mRNA pages. In addition, you can still interact with the genes from this dataset in JBrowse and Apollo, including link-outs to gene pages at NCBI (or in a few cases, HymenopteraMine and VEuPathDB) from the individual gene glyphs (https://i5k.nal.usda.gov/available-genome-browsers); and search for them using BLAST (https://i5k.nal.usda.gov/webapp/blast/).
Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns! We hope that the impact on your work will be minimal, but please let us know if this is a major inconvenience for you.
