TreeGenes :: Overview

Welcome to the TreeGenes database! TreeGenes is a forest tree genome database for conifers. Both automatic and manual curation are performed to combine and interrelate information on EST sequences, SNPs, genetic maps, molecular markers, phenotypes and QTL, and publications. Comparative maps of key species including Loblolly Pine, Douglas-Fir, Norway Spruce, Monterey Pine, and Maritime Pine are anchored to each other by a set of curated correspondences as well as by sequence similarity of ESTs and markers. We use controlled vocabularies (ontologies) to describe genes which permits users to query and make comparisons across taxonomic groups. All raw and integrated information, as well as software developed as part of this project, is available for use without restriction.

TreeGenes Schema

TreeGenes is housed in an PostgreSQL 8.1.4 database that is fed validated information from a variety of mysql internal and test databases. The information is presented to the research community through a web-based graphical interface environment. Data submission is critical to the value of this resource.

Members of the conifer research community are encouraged to submit data through the literature object. Here, users can supplement their publication with raw map data, EST data, and other sequence data. This information will be curated and propagated through the existing database structure.
