The i5K Workspace @NAL has had some major infrastructural updates, and now runs on Drupal 7 and Tripal 2.0. These changes should improve the speed and reliability of our website. Please let us know if you experience any problems.
We have been working with the group at Agripest to migrate two species into the i5k Workspace@NAL:
- The Tobacco Hornworm, Manduca sexta (i5k.nal.usda.gov/Manduca_sexta)
- The Hessian fly, Mayetiola destructor (i5k.nal.usda.gov/Mayetiola_destructor)
We've been making a lot of changes to our website and resources, and are eager to hear what you think!
We have created a survey to help us better understand how you use our resources. We are also very interested in learning more about what features are working well for you, and what we can continue to improve.
Please take a few moments to fill out our survey. All feedback is appreciated, and your input will help us better meet our community's needs.
We have recently released our new BLAST tool, which is completely reengineered, from the initial query building screen to the results panel.
We realize that the new interface is very different from the previous version, and that it may take time and repeated usage to get used to. Please take some time to read through our newly updated BLAST tutorial to learn more about the new interfaces features and capabilities.
Our graduate student interns Chien-Yueh Lee, Han Lin, and Jun-Wei Lin from the National Taiwan University have completely re-engineered our BLAST site! You can find the site here: http://i5k.nal.usda.gov/blast And a new BLAST guide here: http://i5k.nal.usda.gov/content/blast-tutorial If you still wish to use the 'legacy' BLAST site, it is available here: http://i5k.nal.usda.gov/blastn Feedback is welcome!
We have added ten new species to the i5k Workspace. They are:
Agrilus planipennis (Baylor i5k pilot)
Centruroides exilicauda (Baylor i5k pilot)
Copidosoma floridanum (Baylor i5k pilot)
Gerris buenoi (Baylor i5k pilot)
