What is PLAZA?

PLAZA is an access point for plant comparative genomics, centralizing genomic data produced by different genome sequencing initiatives.

Available PLAZA instances

Dicots PLAZA 5.0 Latest

Dicots PLAZA 5.0

2021

Version 5.0 of the PLAZA platform. This instance is focused on dicot plants.

Monocots PLAZA 5.0 Latest

Monocots PLAZA 5.0

2021

Version 5.0 of the PLAZA platform. This instance is focused on monocot plants.

pico-PLAZA 3.0 Latest

pico-PLAZA 3.0

2020

The new default instance to focus on eukaryotic micro-organisms. A wide selection of species was selected, from multiple branches of the tree of life including green algae, brown algae, diatoms and landplants.

Dicots PLAZA 4.5

Dicots PLAZA 4.5

2020

This version contains the same data as PLAZA Dicots 4.0, but ported to the latest stable version of the PLAZA software.

Monocots PLAZA 4.5

Monocots PLAZA 4.5

2019

This intermediate update of the PLAZA platform, with a focus on the Monocots, became necessary due to substantial annotation updates to species present in the 4.0 PLAZA instances.

Dicots PLAZA 4.0

2017

Version 4.0 of the PLAZA platform. Focused on dicot species, but with the necessary outgroup organisms as reference species.

Monocots PLAZA 4.0

2017

Version 4.0 of the PLAZA platform. Focused on monocot species, but with the necessary outgroup organisms as reference species.

pico-PLAZA 2.0

2013

This PLAZA version focuses on marine eukaryotic micro-organisms. A wide selection of species was selected, from multiple branches of the tree of life; e.g. green algae, brown algae and diatoms. Some landplants were also added as reference.

Dicots PLAZA 3.0

2014

Third iteration of the PLAZA platform. Focused on dicot species, but with some others as reference organisms.

Monocots PLAZA 3.0

2014

Third iteration of the PLAZA platform. Focused on monocot species, but with some others as reference organisms.

Gymno PLAZA 1.0

2015

Gymnosperms oriented PLAZA version.

PLAZA 2.5

2012

This update of PLAZA 2.0 contains a small number of updates/additions compared to the PLAZA 2.0 platform, most notably an update from the model organism Arabidopsis thaliana from TAIR9 to TAIR10.

PLAZA 2.0

2010

Second iteration of the PLAZA platform. This version was quickly discontinued with the release of the TAIR10 release of Arabidopsis thaliana. We strongly suggest using a next version of PLAZA (e.g. PLAZA v2.5) for any analyzes.

PLAZA 1.0

2009

PLAZA version 1.0 Released in 2009. Publication in plant cell.
