Abstract:
CottonGen (www.cottongen.org) is a curated and integrated web-based relational database providing access to publicly available genomic, genetic and breeding resources for cotton research discovery and crop improvement. CottonGen contains annotated whole genome sequences, reference transcriptomes, gene sequences from NCBI, pathways, genetic maps, trait, germplasm, marker, breeding, publication and community member data. In this presentation we show how to effectively search, filter and download data in CottonGen. CottonGen is directly supported by Cotton Incorporated, USDA-ARS, the cotton industry and USDA NIFA National Research Support Project 10.
