Abstract:
CottonGen is a new database for the cotton community that has been created by the consolidation of the existing databases CottonDB and Cotton Marker Database (CMD) and expanded to include annotated transcriptome, genome sequence, marker-trait-locus and breeding data. Enhanced tools for easy querying and visualizing research data greatly increases the accessibility of CottonGen over its predecessors. The database is built using the open-source Tripal database infrastructure developed for the Cacao Genome Database, the Genome Database for Rosaceae and the Citrus Genome Database. This presentation will provide an overview on the current functionality provided and being developed.
