CottonGen (http://www.cottongen.org) is the community database for basic, translational and applied research in cotton. Developed using Tripal, an open-source, resource-efficient, standardized platform for biological database construction, it provides an online portal of curated and integrated genomics, genetics and breeding data, combined with a suite of tools facilitating intuitive data mining and analysis. We highlight new data and functionality in CottonGen, with a particular emphasis on application in breeding, and present future plans for development over the next 5 years for this industry, USDA, USDA-ARS funded resource.
