BarleyOmics is a comprehensive multi-omics database of barley. We firstly integrated all the barley multi-omics data generated from public database and our own projects and conducted unified analysis as well as quality control. The resulted invaluable data resource are offered to the barley research community through the BarleyOmics with user-friendly interfaces.
Database resources
Samples
Pan-genome
99 millions
High quanlity SNPs
Pan-transcriptome
Gene expression profiles
Phenotype data
Modules
Five main classes of functional modules are presented according to data type in BarleyOmics, namely “Genome”, “Variome”, “Transcriptome” ,“Phenome” and “Tools”, There are several sub-modules under each module.
Genome
There are six sub-modules, which can perform the retrieval and visualization functions of 76 pan-genome data.
Variome
Here are five modules, users can query SNPS information and do a series of analysis, such as LD, phylogenetic analysis and haplotype analysis.
Transcriptome
Users can browse and analyze the expression of gene sets, and provide spatial transcriptome visualization.
Phenome
The phenotypic information of all samples in the data is stored here, including the measured agronomic traits and images.
