We are pleased to announce the release of version SL3.0 of the tomato genome and version ITAG3.20 of the annotation. You can find more information about ITAG3.20 from our presentation at the PAG 2017 meeting and about SL3.0 from our presentation at the SOL 2015 meeting. The genome data is available from our FTP site (Build SL3.0 and ITAG3.20), JBrowse and Blast.

Please use the contact form to let us know if you notice any issues with SL3.0 or ITAG3.20.
