Welcome to mimulusevolution.org!

This website provides access to genomic resources in the monkeyflower genus Mimulus (Phrymaceae), a popular model for the study of plant evolution. These resources include Expressed Sequence Tags (ESTs), Bacterial Artifical Chromosome (BAC) clones and libraries, seeds from wild populations and permanent mapping populations, genetic markers, and integrated genetic and physical maps.

What's New

1 Jul 2008

• Mimulus guttatus 7x scaffolds are in. BLAST against them on the intranet or download them. These things will be analyzed and more data posted in the coming weeks.

28 May 2008

• If you start noticing the site getting better and more enriched, it's because I'm working hard on updating it, making necessary changes and integrating a Chado version of our Mimulus data. Keep the suggestions pouring in! Email me, I'm Jason, [japhill email unc edu]

24 Apr 2008

• Set 6 and Set 7 overgos created and sent to Clemson. Set 5 results are available. Click Here! We can expect Set 6 results by the middle of June.

• Download Mimulus Data. This is mimulus data in a raw format. Follow this link to public data and within there you can go to our password protected folders to access even more data. Read the readmes and you will find maps, annotations, scaffolds, BACs, BAC ends...etc. Click Here!

8 Nov 2006

• SNP positions:
SNP positions can now be viewed after searching by marker name

• Phytome unigene link:
Unigenes are now linked to Phytome (Plant Comparative Genomics Resource)

19 June 2006

First public release of data.

• Gene sequences:
8026 unigenes (build 6, 17-Nov-2005) based on 12511 floral ESTs, which can be browsed, searched using BLAST, and downloaded

• Markers:
859 gene-based markers for genetic and physical mapping, including primer &
overgo sequences for each, and a subset containing sequence polymorphism
data 155 AFLP and 15 SSR legacy markers

• Maps:
M. guttatus IM62 x M. nasutus SF F2N1 genetic linkage map, which contains 310 markers.
CUGI M. guttatus FPC map (release 3, 22 May 2006), including 4442 HICF contigs for 56624 BACs
