The EPIC CoGe Browser

EPIC-CoGe is the extension to CoGe that provides several key features of data management and analysis to CoGe that was funded by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation.  These features include permitting individual researchers to integrate and manage new genomes, keep them private, and share them with collaborators; integrate funcitonal (RNASeq, epigenomic) and diversity (SNPs, variants) data, and visualize them in JBrowse.  This work has lead to the first read/write genomics platform and in the past two years EPIC-CoGe has been available, researchers have added over 5000 new genomes and 5000 new functional and diversity datasets.  As part of a NSF funded project classifying and analyzing the evolution of plant long non-coding RNAs, EPIC-CoGe will continue to expand.  This talk will provide a summary of EPIC-CoGe’s features and planned future development.  EPIC-CoGe is available at: http://genomevolution.org.
