What you can do:

Conduct comparative genomic study of plants.

Highlights:

Phytome is an online comparative genomics resource that is built upon publicly available sequence and map information from a diverse set of plant species, with a focus on the angiosperms, or flowering plants.
Phytome is designed to facilitate functional genomics, molecular breeding and evolutionary studies in model and non-model plant species.
. It contains predicted protein sequences, protein family assignments, multiple sequence alignments, phylogenies and functional annotations for proteins from a large, phylogenetically diverse set of plant taxa.
Phytome serves as a glue between disparate plant gene databases both by identifying the evolutionary relationships among orthologous and paralogous protein sequences from different species and by enabling cross-references between different versions of the same gene curated independently by different database groups.
The web interface enables sophisticated queries on lineage-specific patterns of gene/protein family proliferation and loss.
This rich dataset is serving as a platform for the unification of sequence-anchored comparative maps across taxonomic families of plants.
