OryGenesDB -- a database for rice reverse genetics

What you can do:
Search for Flanking Sequence Tags (FSTs)in insertional rice mutants.
Highlights:
  • OryGenesDB contains FSTs (flanking sequence tags) of various mutagens and functional genomics data, collected from both international insertion collections and the literature.
  • The current release of OryGenesDB contains 171,000 FSTs, and annotations divided among 10 specific categories, totaling 78 annotation layers.
  • Several additional tools have been added to the main interface; these tools enable the user to retrieve FSTs and design probes to analyze insertion lines.
  • The major innovation of OryGenesDB 2008, besides updating the data and tools, is a new tool, Orylink, which was developed to speed up rice functional genomics by taking advantage of the resources developed in two related databases, Oryza Tag Line and GreenPhylDB.
  • Orylink was designed to field complex queries across these three databases and store both the queries and their results in an intuitive manner.
  • Orylink offers a simple and powerful virtual workbench for functional genomics.
  • Alternatively, the Web services developed for Orylink can be used independently of its Web interface, increasing the interoperability between these different bioinformatics applications.
