About This Database
The number of genomic-matches per small RNA ("hits") has been capped in this database at the following maximum: 50 (?)
The maize small RNA data on this site comes from our own libraries, which were published in bioRxiv. We used the Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) Cas9 system to mutate Dcl5 in maize. To investigate if 24-nt phasiRNA biogenesis is affected in dcl5 mutants, sRNA libraries were constructed from anthers or spikelets of each dcl5 allele. Raw data were submitted to GEO under GSE122449 (including sRNA-seq as GSM3466686 to GSM3466700).
Some data contributed by: Virginia Walbot (Stanford University).

Query by Chromosome Position
Click on a region of any chromosome for which you would like to retrieve the map. Because of the size of chromosomes, clicking on the diagram below will take you to a second map where you can refine the position. Note that if the genome has a mix of both chromosomes and small contigs or scaffolds, we only show images for the defined chromosomes, and contigs must be accessed via their ID.

If you know the start and/or end of your genomic region, please enter one or both coordinates here to go directly to our chromosome viewer. If you only enter one coordinate, we use a default size of 100 kb for the viewer.
