Novel Database for TF Clone and TAC Clone of Arabidopsis thaliana in RIKEN BRC

RIKEN BRC (BioResource Center) has joined the National Bioresource Project (NBRP) of Japan, and the Experimental Plant Division of RIKEN BRC distributes the resources of Arabidopsis thaliana and some other plants to the researchers around the world. Here we present a new database for two kinds of Arabidopsis DNA materials, TF clone and TAC clone. The TF clone provides you the ORF (without STOP codon) of Arabidopsis transcription factor gene in the gateway entry vector system. The TAC clone provides you the Arabidopsis genomic fragment (average length is 80 kb) in the TAC binary vector.
During the construction of the database, we tried to improve the utility of the clones. At first, we mapped each DNA sequence of TF clone and TAC clone (border sequence only) to Arabidopsis genome sequence using CLC workbench. After mapping, we construct the database that includes the mapped position data as well as gene annotations by Araport11 and TAIR10. In order to improve the visualization of the data, we employed a schematic view of the insert region. The design of the pages is still under the revision to make it easier for getting information about the clones.
