Abstract
The Genome Database for Rosaceae (GDR, http:/www.rosaceae.org), the long-standing central repository and data mining resource for Rosaceae research, has been enhanced with new genomic, genetic and breeding data, and improved functionality. Whole genome sequences of apple, peach and strawberry are available to browse or download with a range of annotations, including gene model predictions, aligned transcripts, repetitive elements, polymorphisms, mapped genetic markers, mapped NCBI Rosaceae genes, gene homologs and association of InterPro protein domains, GO terms and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway terms. Annotated sequences can be queried using search interfaces and visualized using GBrowse. New expressed sequence tag unigene sets are available for major genera, and Pathway data are available through FragariaCyc, AppleCyc and PeachCyc databases. Synteny among the three sequenced genomes can be viewed using GBrowse_Syn. New markers, genetic maps and extensively curated qualitative/Mendelian and quantitative trait loci are available. Phenotype and genotype data from breeding projects and genetic diversity projects are also included. Improved search pages are available for marker, trait locus, genetic diversity and publication data. New search tools for breeders enable selection comparison and assistance with breeding decision making.
Highlights
The Genome Database for Rosaceae (GDR) is a comprehensive online database resource of curated genomic, genetic and breeding data and analysis tools for the Rosaceae research community
The Rosaceae genes in the GDR Gene Database serve as a base entity for association with predicted genes from whole genome sequences, quantitative trait loci (QTL), genetic markers and mutant phenotypes as annotation progresses
Genetic maps GDR contains 84 genetic maps for Rosaceae species, including the reference maps for major crops: the TxE map [27,28] the reference map for Prunus, the FV Â FN diploid Fragaria reference map [29] used in assembly of the F. vesca genome sequence and the rose-integrated consensus map built on information from four diploid populations and >1000 markers [30]
Summary
The Genome Database for Rosaceae (GDR) is a comprehensive online database resource of curated genomic, genetic and breeding data and analysis tools for the Rosaceae research community. The respective genome pages in GDR contain downloadable files, including Generic File Format (GFF) and FASTA formats, for the assembly with annotated gene predictions, homology, markers, single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and repeats.
