ECALIBRATOR: A Comparative Tool to Identify Key Genes and Pathways for Eucalyptus Defense Against Biotic Stressors.

ABSTRACT: Many pests and pathogens threaten Eucalyptus plantations. The study of defense responses in this economically important wood and fiber crop enables the discovery of novel pathways and genes, which may be adopted to improve resistance. Various functional genomics experiments have been conducted in Eucalyptus-biotic stress interactions following the availability of the Eucalyptus grandis genome, however, comparisons between these studies were limited largely due to a lack of comparative tools. To this end, we developed eCALIBRATOR http://ecalibrator.bi.up.ac.za, a tool for the comparison of Eucalyptus biotic stress interaction. The tool, which is not limited to Eucalyptus, allows the comparison of various datasets, provides a visual output in the form of Venn diagrams and clustering and extr
