PSSRD

PSSRD catalogs simple sequence repeats (SSRs) across 112 plant species to support comparative and functional genomic analyses.

Key Features:

• Extensive SSR Identification: Contains 249,822 identified SSRs compiled across 112 plant species.
• Comparative Analysis: Characterizes SSR distribution patterns among plant species, revealing differences in SSR abundance between taxa.
• Functional Insights: Reports enriched functional terms and specific markers such as Guanylate_cyc that are more prevalent in lower plants compared to higher plants.

Scientific Applications:

• Comparative Genomics: Enables studies of evolutionary relationships and genome-wide SSR variation across plant species.
• Functional Genomics: Supports exploration of gene functions and regulatory mechanisms using SSR markers.

Methodology:

PSSRD was constructed using PHP, HTML, JavaScript, and MySQL.
