CottonGen (www.cottongen.org) is a curated and integrated web-based relational database providing access to publicly available genomic, genetic and breeding resources for cotton research discovery and crop improvement. CottonGen contains annotated whole genome sequences, reference transcriptomes, gene sequences from NCBI, genetic maps, trait loci, germplasm, marker diversity, breeding and publication data. The predicted genes of the whole genome sequence, reference transcriptomes and NCBI genes have been further annotated by homology to genes in other species, InterPro protein domains, GO terms and KEGG pathway terms. The database has been updated with all currently published genetic maps, molecular markers, and QTL data. Effort on data standardization on gene names, QTL metadata, and trait ontology have been conducted and all standardized names are publicly online available. CottonGen is directly supported by Cotton Incorporated, USDA-ARS, the cotton industry and USDA NRSP10.
