Cool Season Food Legume Genome Database: An Up-to-Date Resource Enabling Genetics, Genomics and Breeding Research in Pea, Lentil, Faba Bean and Chickpea

The new, mobile-friendly version of the Cool Season Food Legume Genome Database (CSFL, www.coolseasonfoodlegume.org) has been redesigned to allow for more efficient access to data, tools, and resources by users.  The database has been updated with all current genetic maps, molecular markers, and QTL data in addition to the most current genome data for pea, lentil, chickpea, and faba bean.  The new interface allows users to quickly search and retrieve data from the database.  Quick access to popular tools which allow users to use BLAST for searches with current genome sequences and transcripts, view genomes in the JBrowse genome browser, make comparisons of genetic and physical map data with CMap, and view metabolic PlantCyc maps are also easily found from the website header.  The ultimate goal of CSFL is to provide a single website where researchers can view/query/download all current genetics, genomics and breeding data for pea, lentil, chickpea and faba bean as well as have access to analysis tools that are useful for research.  This project is supported by USDA NRSP10, the USA Dry Pea and Lentil Council, Northern Pulse Growers Association, USDA-ARS and Washington State University.
