Abstract:
The SoyBase home page (http://soybase.org) contains the SoyBase Toolbox, which provides quick access to a search of the SoyBase database or the SoyCyc metabolic pathways database, access to the data download page, a genome sequence BLAST tool, and direct links to the genetic and sequence maps. Searching at SoyBase uses an underlying trait-based approach to return all information that is related to the search term. An extensive navigation menu and site description provides facile access to all sections of SoyBase. Numerous data types are available including genetic maps, the soybean reference genome sequence with annotation tracks covering genetic markers, genome organization, gene annotation and expression, and gene knockout mutants. SoyBase includes an extensive RNA-Seq gene atlas and innovative tools for identifying fast neutron-induced mutants affecting genes or traits of interest. Several “omics” tools, for example a GO Term Enrichment tool, enable sophisticated queries on lists of genes.
