OliveAtlas

OliveAtlas provides a gene expression atlas for Olea europaea L., integrating 70 RNA-seq experiments across 10 datasets to support analysis of organ-specific, reproductive, and stress-responsive transcriptional programs.

Key Features:

• Extensive RNA-seq Data: Contains 70 RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) experiments organized into 10 datasets covering main plant organs, pollen germination, pollen tube elongation, and responses to biotic and abiotic stresses.
• Bioinformatics tools: Offers gene comparisons, replicate inspection, gene set enrichment analyses, and data download for downstream analysis.
• Visualization methods: Provides visualization methods for interpreting gene expression patterns across experimental conditions.
• Reference genome utilization: Uses the 'Picual' genome reference for genomic context and annotation.

Scientific Applications:

• Organ and reproductive biology: Enables analysis of transcriptional programs underlying organ development, pollen germination, and pollen tube elongation in Olea europaea L.
• Stress response and breeding: Supports investigation of biotic and abiotic stress responses to inform breeding programs aimed at enhancing stress resilience.
• Plant genomics and crop improvement: Facilitates gene-level studies relevant to improving olive yield, oil quality, and adaptation to diverse climates.

Methodology:

Seventy RNA-seq experiments are organized into 10 datasets based on the 'Picual' genome reference and analyzed via gene comparisons, replicate inspection, gene set enrichment analyses, and visualization methods.
