Cool Season Food Legume Genome Database: A Resource for Pea, Lentil, Faba Bean and Chickpea Genetics, Genomics and Breeding

The Cool Season Food Legume Genome database (CSFL, www.coolseasonfoodlegume.org) is a resource for genomics, genetics, and breeding data for chickpea, lentil, pea, and faba bean. QTL, marker and genetic map data from the current literature is regularly added, easily searchable and can be retrieved as downloadable tables and files. The database also has several tools for data exploration including BLAST for searching genome sequences and reference transcripts (RefTrans), JBrowse for viewing genomes and the corresponding annotations or alignments, and PlantCyc for viewing predicted metabolic pathways in genomes. In addition to the comparative map viewer CMap, CSFL features a new genetic map viewer called TripalMap. TripalMap is a new Tripal module that pulls data from the CSFL Chado database and integrates the maps into the CSFL genetic map details pages. This project is supported by USDA NRSP10, the USA Dry Pea and Lentil Council, Northern Pulse Growers Association, USDA-ARS and Washington State University.
