AgBase

AgBase is a curated, publicly accessible database of functional annotations and gene identifiers for agricultural plant and animal genomes. It aims to provide a centralized resource for researchers to access consistent and reliable information, facilitating comparative genomics and functional analysis.

AgBase focuses on agriculturally important species, offering standardized gene product names, Gene Ontology (GO) annotations, and cross-references to other relevant databases. The resource incorporates manual curation and computational methods to ensure the quality of its annotations. AgBase also provides tools and resources to help researchers analyze and interpret their data in the context of the curated annotations. This includes services for GO enrichment analysis and sequence similarity searches.

The database is continuously updated with new data and annotations, making it a valuable resource for the agricultural research community. It supports research in areas such as crop improvement, animal health, and sustainable agriculture.
