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），其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，并且只要可能，就与它们的基因组DNA来源相关联。PlantGDB网站包括许多生物信息学工具，有助于基因预测和跨物种比较。该数据库将提供植物基因组成的当前知识的快照，并促进我们对植物遗传学和进化的理解。该项目的可检索数据由该项目的网站提供：http://www.plantgdb.org/该网站是数据库PlantGDB的公共门户。 所有衍生数据集（EST集群）都可以从该网站下载，这是该项目中使用和开发的计算机程序的源代码。

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.
