Gramene

Gramene-2013-logo.png


See Gramene's web page for more information: http://www.gramene.org

Gramene is a curated resource for comparative functional genomics in crops and model plant species currently hosting 44 complete reference genomes. Its strength derives from the application of a phylogenetic framework for genome comparison and the use of ontologies to integrate structural and functional annotation data. Gene evolutionary histories are provided in phylogenetic gene trees using a method that infers orthologous relationships and complements whole genome alignments. Variation data is available for 11 species, including Arabidopsis, rice, and maize, and enriched with variant effect prediction. Gramene hosts metabolic pathways databases developed in house or by our collaborators in the BioCyc platform, which facilitates uploading, visualization and analysis. Recently, we began annotating metabolic pathways using the Reactome model, and have released a beta version of the Plant Reactome, a platform for the comparative analysis of plant metabolic and regulatory networks, featuring at present over 240 curated rice pathways and orthologous pathway projections to 66 plant species. We also host many genetic and QTL maps contributed by the broad research community. Gramene is supported by an NSF grant (IOS-1127112), and works closely with EBI-EMBL, OICR, and ASPB.


An overview of the Gramene comparative genomics database as well as latest developments and future plans will be presented by Marcela Karey Tello-Ruiz during the Bioinformatics Minisymposium on Monday, June 26th at 11:30am.

The Bio-Analytic Resource for Plant Biology

Bar logo small.gif


See BAR's web page for more information: http://www.bar.utoronto.ca


The Bio-Analytic Resource at the University of Toronto is a collection of web-based tools for exploring, visualizing and mining large-scale data sets, primarily from Arabidopsis thaliana but also from several other plant species.

These tools include:

eFP Browser (electronic Fluorescent Pictograph Browser) for painting gene expression and other information onto diagrammatic representations of the particular experimental series from which the data were generated. eFP Browsers are available for Arabidopsis, poplar, Medicago truncatula, rice, barley, soybean, maize, potato and cell.

Expression Angler for identifying co-expressed, anti-correlated, or condition/tissue-specific genes using the "custom bait feature" in 5 of the gene expression data sets from the AtGenExpress Consortium, from our in-house database or from NASCArrays, or several other data sets.

Expression Browser for performing electronic northerns.

Arabidopsis Interactions Viewer for querying a database of almost 80,000 predicted and 28,566 documented protein-protein interactions in Arabidopsis.

Promomer for identifying over-represented n-mer words in the promoter of a gene of interest, or in promoters of co-expressed genes.

ePlant: A suite of interactive web-based tools that enables users to explore Arabidopsis data from the kilometre to nanometre scale, including natural variation data, organ and cell-type-specific gene expression patterns, subcellular localization, protein-protein interactions, and protein tertiary structures predicted for ~70% of the proteome.

Next-Gen Mapping: Allows for the rapid localization of recessive EMS induced mutations within an F2 mapping population that has been pooled and sequenced en masse using a next-generation sequencing platform.


Funding: The BAR is funded in part by Centre for the Analysis of Genome Evolution and Function, grants from the Canada Foundation for Innovation to NJP, and from Genome Canada to the Arabidopsis Research Group at the Department of Cell and Systems Biology, University of Toronto.

Planteome

Planteome logo2-1.jpg

See the Planteome Project home page for more information: http://www.planteome.org

The Planteome Project (www.planteome.org) features a suite of reference ontologies for plants, associated with a growing corpus of genomics data in a centralized online plant informatics portal. The species-neutral references, the Plant Ontology, Plant Trait Ontology, and Plant Environment Ontology, (all developed by the project), along with those developed by collaborating groups, (the Gene Ontology, Phenotype and Trait Ontology, and others), are mapped to species-specific, controlled vocabularies for crop plant traits and phenotypes. Data annotations to ontology terms link phenotypes and germplasm to genomics resources, and provide semantic integration of widely diverse datasets with the goal of plant improvement. Analysis and annotation tools are being developed to facilitate studies of plant traits, phenotypes, diseases, gene function and expression, and genetic diversity data across a wide range of plant species. The project database and the online resources provide researchers tools to search and browse the ontologies, and remote access is possible through APIs, for semantic integration into annotation tools and data repositories, providing resources for plant biology, breeding, genomics and genetics. The project is supported by the National Science Foundation award IOS #1340112.

SoyBase, the USDA-ARS soybean genetics and genomics database, provides a comprehensive collection of data, analysis tools and links to external resources of interest to soybean researchers. SoyBase is an actively curated database, with new data regularly being incorporated.The data in SoyBase are provided through intuitive interfaces, and are linked together wherever possible to allow easy identification and browsing of related subjects. The SoyBase home page (http://soybase.org) contains the SoyBase Toolbox, which provides quick access to a search of SoyBase, access to the data download page, a genome sequence BLAST tool, direct links to the genetic and sequence maps, and quick access to the SoyCyc metabolic pathways database. Searching at SoyBase uses an underlying trait-based approach to return all information that is related to the search term. An extensive navigation menu and site description provides facile access to all sections of SoyBase. Numerous data types are available including genetic maps, the soybean reference genome sequence with annotation tracks covering genetic markers, genome organization, gene annotation and expression, and gene knockout mutants. SoyBase includes an extensive RNA-Seq gene atlas and innovative tools for identifying fast neutron-induced mutants affecting genes or which affect traits of interest. Several “omics” tools, for example a GO Term Enrichment tool, enable sophisticated queries and reports on lists of genes.

SoyBase can be publicly accessed at http://soybase.org
