PeanutBase (http://peanutbase.org) provides a web portal for genomics, genetics and trait information for peanut. The goal is to help peanut researchers improve peanut varieties by integrating genetic, genomic, and trait information. Genomic data (genome sequence, predicted genes, gene expression, etc.) is stitched together with breeder-centered information such as candidate genes, genetic markers, QTLs, trait information about breeding lines, and allele states for important markers. The genomes of the two wild progenitors of cultivated peanut, A. duranensis and A. ipaensis, have been sequenced and are available from PeanutBase – both as chromosomal sequence files, and in genome browsers. The browsers can be used to search and view genes and markers from peanut (cultivated and wild), and the corresponding genes from other species such as soybean and common bean. Many genetic traits have also been collected from various QTL studies and the data sets are now available from PeanutBase, and are viewable on interactive maps. PeanutBase was started in April 2013 at Iowa State University with funding from The Peanut Foundation and in-kind contributions from USDA-ARS.

First draft for PAG

(word count=282; needed 250)
PeanutBase (http://peanutbase.org) has been developed as a web portal for plant science researchers involved in peanut genetics, genomics and cultivar development. The genomes of the two wild progenitors of cultivated peanut, A. duranensis and A. ipaensis, have recently been sequenced and are served from PeanutBase as sequence data for download and as annotated genomes in its browsers along with gene models from related and well characterized legumes like soybean and common bean. The mapping of molecular markers from various Arachis species including peanut to these genomes has also made it possible to integrate trait related information with genomic data. Trait associated data has been collected and curated from various QTL studies and the data sets are now available from PeanutBase and viewable on interactive maps. We have also compiled Marker Assisted Selection information for some of the important traits and plan to involve experts from the community to develop this resource. PeanutBase is concurrently developed with Legume Information System (http://legumeinfo.org) and benefits from the rich orthologous genetic and genomic resources available from this knowledge base such as traits in other crop legumes and gene family based annotations. Peanutbase would also serve the genomic data of cultivated peanut when it becomes available from the consortium. Future efforts would involve striving to consolidate disparate resources for trait genetics such as information on breeding lines, germplasm accessions, their phenotypic data by working with the community in serving or making it easily accessible from one place. The website is based on Drupal CMS with the GMOD's Chado database schema served via the Tripal web interface. PeanutBase was started in April 2013 at Iowa State University with funding from The Peanut Foundation and in-kind contributions from USDA-ARS.

Nice! Here's a version with 248 words. I did have to cut a few words that I liked to get below 250, though.

The latest version looks good to me. I'll close this issue (though that's not to thwart other changes if someone else wants to chime in).
