Sinbase

Sinbase provides genomic, genetic, and comparative genomics data and analysis resources for Sesamum indicum L. (sesame) based on the S. indicum reference genome to support genetic, functional, and evolutionary research.

Key Features:

• Comprehensive Genomic Data: Includes sequences from assembled pseudomolecular chromosomes and catalogues 27,148 protein-coding genes, 372,167 transposable elements, and 1,748 non-coding RNAs for Sesamum indicum.
• Comparative Genomics: Provides information on colinear regions across multiple plant genomes, including Arabidopsis thaliana, Glycine max, Vitis vinifera, Solanum lycopersicum, and related Lamiales species such as Olea europaea, Leonurus japonicus, and Lavandula spica.
• Genome Annotation: Contains genome annotation data for S. indicum, including annotated gene models and repeat element annotations.
• Local BLAST Services: Offers local BLAST sequence comparison against the sesame genome for sequence alignment and similarity searches.

Scientific Applications:

• Genetic Trait Analysis: Supports identification and characterization of genetic traits within sesame using annotated gene models and genomic sequences.
• Pharmacological Research: Enables comparative analyses across Lamiales and other plant genomes to explore genes and pathways relevant to pharmacological properties.
• Evolutionary Studies: Facilitates study of evolutionary patterns and genome colinearity among S. indicum, Arabidopsis thaliana, Glycine max, Vitis vinifera, Solanum lycopersicum, and other related species.

Methodology:

Includes sequences from assembled pseudomolecular chromosomes, genome annotation and repeat annotation, identification of colinear regions across plant genomes, and provision of local BLAST services for sequence comparison against the S. indicum reference genome.
