PlantGDB - Plant Genome Database and Analysis Tools

PlantGDB是植物基因组序列的数据库，特别是表达序列标签(EST)，它对应于在特定条件下活跃转录的基因片段。该数据库将EST组织成代表暂定独特基因的重叠群。重叠群被注释，并在可能的情况下与其基因组DNA起源相联系。PlantGDB网站包括许多促进基因预测和跨物种比较的生物信息学工具。该数据库将提供当前植物基因组成知识的快照，并促进我们对植物遗传学和进化的理解。该项目的交付成果由该项目的网站表示：http://www.plantgdb.org/该网站是数据库PlantGdb的公共门户。所有派生的数据集(EST集群)都可从该网站下载，该项目使用和开发的计算机程序的源代码也可从该网站下载。

PlantGDB is a database of plant genomic sequences, in particular Expressed Sequence Tags (ESTs) that correspond to fragments of genes that are actively transcribed under particular conditions. The database organizes the ESTs into contigs that represent tentative unique genes. The contigs are annotated and, whenever possible, linked to their genomic DNA origins. The PlantGDB web site includes a number of bioinformatics tools that facilitate gene prediction and cross-species comparisons. The database will provide snapshots of the current knowledge of plant gene composition and facilitate our understanding of plant genetics and evolution. Deliverables of this project are represented by the web site of the project: http://www.plantgdb.org/ This web site is the public portal to the database, PlantGDB. All derived data sets (EST clusters) are downloadable from the site, as is source code of computer programs used and developed in this project.
