GERDH

GERDH provides a multi-omics database for cross-species data mining in horticultural crops, enabling comparative genetic and epigenetic analyses across fruits, vegetables, and ornamental plants.

Key Features:

• Extensive Omics Libraries: Integrates 12,961 uniformly processed publicly available omics libraries from over 150 horticultural plant species, including fruits, vegetables, and ornamental plants.
• Cross-Species Analysis Module: Enables identification of conserved genes essential for specific biological processes across different horticultural species.
• Analytical Tools: Implements a suite of analytical tools including gene expression analysis, in-species analysis, epigenetic regulation assessment, gene co-expression studies, enrichment and pathway analysis, and phylogenetic analysis.
• Data Visualization: Includes data visualization capabilities for exploration of complex multi-omics datasets.
• Uniform Data Processing: Employs uniformly processed omics datasets to ensure consistency and comparability across analyses.

Scientific Applications:

• Postharvest Storage Gene Identification: Facilitates identification of genes implicated in postharvest storage across horticultural species.
• Gene Function Discovery and Validation: Supports discovery of novel gene functions, exemplified by identification of CmEIN3 roles in flower development validated through transgenic chrysanthemum studies.
• Comparative Multi-omics Studies: Enables comparative multi-omics investigations of conserved genetic pathways and epigenetic regulation across horticultural species.

Methodology:

Compilation and use of 12,961 uniformly processed publicly available omics libraries from over 150 horticultural species to support consistent multi-omics analyses.
