Using GDR: An Overview

GDR has been redesigned with easy access points such as major genera and tools quick start links in the homepage. The genera quick start allows users to view which types of data are available for the genus of interest and provides links to access data. In addition to the genera page, species pages are also available to provide information for major species. The tools quick start in the homepage is organized into three sections: genomics, genetics and breeding. Each section provides links to popular pages to access appropriate data and tools. The genomics section provides links to view genomes, find sequences, search genes and BLAST sequences. The genetics section provides links to browse maps, search markers, find QTLs, and compare maps. The breeding section provides links to search phenotype, search genotype, search haplotype and decision tools. The presentation will show how to use these tools with some example questions. The presentation will also show pages for Rosaceae Trait Ontology and Rosaceae gene classes to familiarize participants with standardized terms to describe Rosaceae data.
