Abstract :

Ensembl plants are a genome centric platform for visualisation and analysis of plant genomics data. It hosts assembly, sequence, expression, variation and comparative datasets for a growing number of plant species (currently 39) covering a range of economically important crops, including brassica, tomato, grape, barley, potato, maize and wheat, and taxonomically diverse model organisms. The web-based genome browser visually integrates sequence and assembly information with genes, markers, probes, repeats and other public or user-supplied datasets. It includes a web-based data mining tool, allowing specific sets of data to be queried and downloaded for offline analysis. In addition to the browser, all data can be accessed computationally via extensive Perl and REST APIs and is available for FTP download or direct database access.
