sgenos

sgenos provides a curated database of plant disease susceptibility (S-) genes and computational tools for SSR marker identification and PCR primer design to support the study and manipulation of S-genes.

Key Features:

• Curated Database: A collection of disease susceptibility (S-) genes across multiple plant species with associated annotations.
• Search Functionality: Simple and advanced query capabilities to retrieve and filter S-gene records.
• SSR Marker Identification (MISA): Integration with MISA for detection of Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR) markers associated with S-genes.
• Primer Design (Primer3): Incorporation of Primer3 for designing PCR primers targeting S-genes.

Scientific Applications:

• Identification of Crucial S-Genes: Pinpoint susceptibility genes to investigate their roles in host–pathogen interactions and infection processes.
• Gene Silencing and Editing: Support selection of S-gene targets for silencing or genome editing to reduce plant susceptibility.
• Marker-Assisted Breeding: Use SSR markers and designed primers for genetic mapping and breeding of disease-resistant crop varieties.

Methodology:

Curation of S-gene records from plant species and integration of MISA for SSR detection and Primer3 for PCR primer design.
