Asteraceae Genomic Research Platform
Integrated processing of Asteraceae multi-omics expression data
Transcriptome broadly refers to the collection of all transcription products in a cell under a certain physiological condition, including messenger RNA, ribosomal RNA, transfer RNA and non-coding RNA; narrowly refers to the collection of all mRNAs. We collected 6,734 transcriptome sequencing sample entries from 72 tissues and stress conditions of 57 species, covering 42 sequenced Asteraceae genomes.
Our research institute utilizes transcriptomic data sourced from the SRA database. Through our processing pipeline, we analyze the raw data to derive gene expression data. Users have the ability to input their own sequences and obtain expression data for the gene ID most closely matching the species in our platform, achieved through optimal blast alignment. Additionally, we offer visual representation of the data through heatmaps, facilitating users in comprehending the data more conveniently and efficiently. We quantified the genome-wide gene expression of 23 tissues from diverse tissues of 20 important crops, including 17 new transcriptomes from 6 tissues (flower, leaf, root, rhizome, stem and fruit) of S. canadensis sequenced by us.
