From Legume Information System
Welcome to the Legume Information System
The mission of the Legume Information System is to improve the productivity of crop breeders and basic researchers in Fabaceae by providing expertise and up-to-date information bridging the reference species. To serve the community better, the site is currently under major redevelopment. Planned efforts include substantial improvements such as new data-oriented web services (e.g., RESTful, DAS, and BioMart-based) and the creation of a new kind of clade-focused search engine we call Leggle.
The usefulness of the Legume Information System depends upon your suggestions for improvement, feedback, and questions. Contact the team at lis_feedback@ncgr.org.

LIS web services for bioinformatics groups
We've begun working on a suite of Blast web services, primarily to facilitate API-based sequence searches across the Glycine max, Lotus japonicus, and Medicago truncatula references. Comments from bioinformatics and database groups are especially welcome. For more information contact us at lis_feedback@ncgr.org.
