HeveaDB

HeveaDB aggregates genomic, transcriptomic, gene annotation, expressed sequence tag, phenotypic, and clonal data for Hevea brasiliensis to support genomic research and breeding.

Key Features:

• Genome assemblies: Hosts four versions of the Hevea (Hevea brasiliensis) draft genome.
• Transcriptomes and ESTs: Contains 99 NGS transcriptomes and 18,451 annotated expressed sequence tag (EST) sequences.
• Gene annotations and families: Provides 30,200 gene annotations and data for 12 curated gene families.
• Phenotypic data: Provides phenotype data for 5,049 wild germplasm samples.
• Clonal records: Includes information on 18,328 Wickham rubber clones.
• Integrated bioinformatic tools: Integrates several bioinformatic tools for analysis of genomic datasets.

Scientific Applications:

• Comparative genomics: Enables comparison across multiple Hevea genome versions to identify genetic variation and evolutionary patterns.
• Transcriptomics and functional genomics: Supports analysis of gene expression using NGS transcriptomes and EST data to infer gene function.
• Breeding and clonal selection: Provides phenotypic and clonal data to support breeding programs and clonal selection for traits such as disease resistance and yield.

Methodology:

HeveaDB integrates several bioinformatic tools for analysis of genomic datasets.
