About PGDD

Plant Genome Duplication Database

PGDD is a comprehensive database and analysis platform for studying genome duplications and their evolutionary significance in plants.

Mission

Our mission is to provide researchers with tools and data to understand the role of genome duplications in plant evolution, adaptation, and diversification. We integrate genomic data from multiple plant species to facilitate comparative genomic studies.

Features

  • Genome Browser: Interactive visualization of genome structures and gene annotations
  • BLAST Search: Sequence similarity search across multiple plant genomes
  • Locus Search: Find genes and their orthologs across species
  • Synteny Analysis: Identify conserved genomic regions and evolutionary relationships
  • Duplication Analysis: Study gene duplications and their evolutionary patterns
  • Taxonomy Browser: Explore plant diversity and phylogenetic relationships
  • Data Downloads: Access genomic data in various formats

Data Sources

PGDD integrates data from multiple sources including:

  • NCBI GenBank and RefSeq
  • Ensembl Plants
  • Phytozome
  • TAIR (The Arabidopsis Information Resource)
  • Gramene
  • And other plant genome databases

Species Coverage

Currently, PGDD includes data from over 100 plant species representing major plant lineages including:

  • Angiosperms (flowering plants)
  • Gymnosperms (conifers and relatives)
  • Ferns and lycophytes
  • Bryophytes (mosses, liverworts, hornworts)
  • Green algae

Tools and Analysis

PGDD provides a suite of bioinformatics tools for:

  • Sequence alignment and similarity search
  • Phylogenetic analysis
  • Gene family analysis
  • Synteny detection and visualization
  • Duplication event identification
  • Evolutionary rate analysis
