Citrus Genome DB Updates

The Citrus Genome Database (http://www.citrusgenomedb.org/) is a community database for citrus genomics, genetics and breeding research. It contains annotated data of whole genome sequences of the haploid Citrus clementina (Clementine) and Citrus sinensis (sweet orange). It also contains searchable annotated EST databases and unigenes of three species, Citrus clementina, Citrus sinensis and Poncirus trifoliata.  The predicted genes of the whole genome sequences and the unigenes are annotated by homology to genes in other species, InterPro protein domains, GO terms and KEGG pathway terms, providing a glimpse of the pathways and traits in which they are involved. The annotated sequence data can be browsed through species pages or queried using various categories in the search sites. The whole genome sequences can also be accessed through GBrowse, a graphic genome browser and genes are mapped n the CitrusCyc pathway. Genetic map, marker and QTL data have been collected and are available through marker and QTL search pages and CMap, the comparative map viewer.
