Welcome to the Legume Information System

The mission of the Legume Information System is to improve the productivity of breeders and researchers in Fabaceae by providing comprehensive, 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); incorporation of updated software produced by the GMOD project including CMap; Symap; and the creation of a new kind of legume-wide 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.

Updates February 2010

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.
