PubPlant

PubPlant catalogs sequenced and published plant genomes, providing visualizations to track genome publications and phylogenetic relationships among sequenced plants.

Key Features:

• Genome Catalog: Maintains a continuously updated catalog of published plant genome sequences covering more than 1800 species.
• Chronology Visualization: Displays a timeline of genome publications to track the history of plant genome sequencing.
• Cladogram Visualization: Generates cladograms showing phylogenetic relationships among sequenced plants.
• Seed Plant Overview Diagram: Highlights taxonomic orders and families with sequenced species and identifies those that have been overlooked.

Scientific Applications:

• Plant Genome Surveillance: Enables researchers to track published plant genomes and monitor progress in plant genome sequencing across diverse species.
• Phylogenetic Analysis: Supports examination of phylogenetic relationships among sequenced plants through interactive cladograms.
• Food Crop Evaluation: Facilitates assessment of sequencing status for food crops and identification of gaps in genome coverage across plant families.
• Taxonomic Gap Identification: Reveals taxonomic orders and families that lack sequenced representatives, guiding future sequencing priorities.

Methodology:

PubPlant evaluates published plant genome sequences and generates visualizations including cladograms, timelines, and overview diagrams for seed plants.
