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


Monocots PLAZA 5.0
2021
Version 5.0 of the PLAZA platform. This instance is focused on monocot plants.


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
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
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.
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.
