PrunusMap

PrunusMap facilitates the mapping of genetic markers across various Prunus species by integrating data from multiple databases to locate markers, align sequences, and identify nearby genes and proteins.

Key Features:

• Find markers: Locates marker positions across multiple genome versions of Prunus species and cultivars.
• Align sequences: Performs sequence alignment for marker mapping across different Prunus genomes.
• Align proteins: Performs protein alignment as part of marker analysis workflows.
• Locate by position: Enables position-based queries to identify markers and their genomic contexts.
• Nearby gene and protein annotation: Provides a comprehensive list of annotated genes and proteins located near queried markers.
• Multiple genome support: Supports multiple genome versions of Prunus species and cultivars with different query formats.
• Extensible database: Incorporates additional Prunus genome sequences, annotations, and markers upon user request.

Scientific Applications:

• Genome-wide association studies: Supports GWAS by enabling marker location and alignment across Prunus genomes.
• Single-nucleotide polymorphism analysis: Facilitates SNP marker mapping and analysis for genomic research.
• Plant breeding: Streamlines breeding initiatives through efficient genetic marker mapping and identification of nearby functional elements.
• Comparative genomics: Enables cross-species marker comparison across multiple Prunus species and cultivars.
