Arabidopsis GTs
The genome sequence and initial annotation for the model plant Arabidopsis was completed in 2000. For the past decade, the Arabidopsis community has provided extensive updates for this initial annotation. The Arabidopsis Information Resource (TAIR) provided the latest annotation in November 2010 (TAIR10) and comprised the underlying gene models for the high-throughput cloning of the JBEI Arabidopsis GT collection. The glycosyltransferases targeted for cloning were defined by the Carbohydrate-Active enZYmes Database (CAZy) and cross referenced against TAIR10 and comprise 460 loci (CAZy) and 98 (CAZy not classified).
