Genomic Resources for Arabidopsis Research at NCBI

NCBI's Entrez system is an integrated search and retrieval system that provides access to a diverse set of 39 molecular and literature databases. Arabidopsis thaliana data is available in several NCBI resources ranging from primary data submissions, meta-data resources, and core resources that provide organized views of genomes, genes, maps, and sequences.  Data gets submitted to one of NCBI's archival databases - GenBank, Assembly, BioProject, BioSample, GEO, SRA, TSA, dbSNP, PopSet, Epigenomics  - and then through a combination of manual curation and computational methods is integrated into NCBI's secondary databases like, BLAST, CloneDB, Gene, RefSeq, Map Viewer,  Genome, HomoloGene, UniGene, and Protein Clusters. Over 2100 Arabidopsis BioProjects are registered with NCBI; these projects reflect the areas of ongoing research ranging from large scale sequencing projects to expression studies related to tissue type or environmental conditions or epigenomics. NCBI’s Entrez search system allows for searches between databases including the PubMed database. The presentation will include a summary of available data of different types and will include information on data access.
