The Genome Database is equivalent to the official website of a species. Scientists who care about the species can visit the website to learn species information, scientific progress, download genomic data, and perform simple analysis such as blast. The core module of the Genome Database is the Genome Browser, which allows visualization of gene structure, variant loci, gene expression, and other information.
Why construct a genome database?
1.Convenient to share genomic data
Genomic databases allow the collection and sharing of data by bringing together all genomic information of a species.
2.Visualize and analyze data
Genome Browser can visualize and vividly display genome base composition, gene structure, SNP and other variation information, gene expression amount, etc. Standard Genome database (single species)
The standard genome database we launched contains the following modules:
1. Species information: introduction of the evolutionary status, characteristics, scientific progress of the species, etc.
2. Genome information: introduction of genome size, assembly results, annotation results, mapping, covariance analysis, etc.
3.FTP server: convenient to download genome related data
4. Visualization Blast server: convenient to extract the sequence of interest from genome, CDS, protein sequence
5. Genome Browser: genome browser based on Gbrowse or Jbrowse to visualize the base composition and variation information of each sequence (support resequencing results in bam, vcf format) structure and expression abundance of each gene (support transcriptome data)
Genome database of the same family (genus) and species
Species of the same family have also been created in databases for the convenience of comparative genomics studies. For example: Rosaceae, Citrus spp.
Related species have created genomic databases for the convenience of functional genomics studies. For example: hardwoods, legumes, crops.
In addition to providing the functions of a standard database for each species, multiple species databases can provide analysis of comparative genomes.
