Resources <Clones> Aminotransferase genes from E. coli, Arabidopsis, and sorghum were synthesized through the DOE JGI Community Science Program (CSP award 503757) and are available to the scientific community. If you are interested in obtaining some of these clones, please look at our DOE project website and contact Hiroshi Maeda, University of Wisconsin-Madison at maeda2@wisc.edu. <Codes> Codes that we used in our studies are made available at Github for Hiroshi Maeda Lab.
