SorGSD: updating and expanding the sorghum genome science database with new contents and tools.

ABSTRACT:

Background

As the fifth major cereal crop originated from Africa, sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) has become a key C₄ model organism for energy plant research. With the development of high-throughput detection technologies for various omics data, much multi-dimensional and multi-omics information has been accumulated for sorghum. Integrating this information may accelerate genetic research and improve molecular breeding for sorghum agronomic traits.

Results

We updated the Sorghum Genome SNP Database (SorGSD) by adding new data, new features and renamed it to Sorghum Genome Science Database (SorGSD). In comparison with the original version SorGSD, which contains SNPs from 48 sorghum accessions mapped to the reference genome BTx623 (v2.1), the new version was expanded to
