The link of Asteraceae home page is www.asteraceae.net.
For access to data, users can visit the Omics, Phylogeny, Research or Tools section in the navigation bar. Users can also click appropriate links in quick start section.
1. Asteraceae Logo
Users can return to the home page from any The Asteraceae Database (TAD) page by clicking the logo.
2. Navigation bar
TAD provides navigation bar at the top of all of its pages to allow users to easily move between sections of the database.
3. Introduction of The Asteraceae Database
Brief summary about data in database. Goals and expectations of TAD.
4. Latest News
Updated data and new versions from TAD.
5. Species Shortcut
By clicking on the image for the species of interest, go to the Omics page where you can access all the data and tools available of this species.
6. Phylogeny
Users can search the phylogenetic information using this simple search form. By selecting pull-down menu, users can easily search subfamily, tribe, subtribe or genus and jump to phylogeny page for detailed information.
7. Tools quick start
Quick links to interfaces of 8 tools. For detailed manual of each tools, you can jump to Tools section.
If you have any questions or comments about the website overview, please let us know via contact@asteraceae.net
Species pages can be accessed under the ‘Omics’ pull-down menu in the main navigation bar. Omics contains 14 subpages which were named after scientific name of species, so that users can easily access the data and tools for the species of interest.
The omics-species pages have Basic Info. bar and Tools bar on the left panel so that users can quickly access data and tools for the species. Depending on the species, more or less items will be displayed on the resource bar. Below are some items in the resource bars.
FTP links to assemble and annotation files of the species.
Where whole genome sequences are available, hyperlinks to each genome assembly page are shown on the Basic Info bar.
The germplasms page provides a list of germplasm that are stored in Asteraceae Database. An interactive map shows the distribution of collected germplasms around the world. The detailed information for each germplasm is shown by clicking on the ‘Name’ or ‘ID’. Images and recorded phenotypes are also store in detailed pages.
Continue to update the latest research publications. User can search latest literature of the species, and filter by key words.
SNPs and small InDels are called from 1,313 resequencing data of lettuces.
Where mRNA, cDNA, protein sequences are available, hyperlinks to each genome annotation page are shown on the Basic Info bar.
Users can select four taxa (subfamily, tribe, subtribe, genus) by click on pull-down menu. Then, type query in input box and click Search.
1. Get Sequence
In Get Sequence module, users can select genomics, mRNA, cds or protein buttons and download these sequences.
2. Gene Structure
Gene Structure module shows exons, introns and utr regions of genes. Annotation of functional domain is also indicated in pink boxes.
Input one gene id or just nucleotide sequences in textbox, then click on ‘Pick Primers’, results will be returned on web. More parameters can be changed in ‘Advanced Parameters’ module. The source code of Primer Design is modified from Primer3. Untergasser A, Cutcutache I, Koressaar T, Ye J, Faircloth BC, Remm M and Rozen SG. Primer3--new capabilities and interfaces. Nucleic Acids Res. 2012 Aug 1;40(15): e115.
Users can select a species in poll-down menu, and input a gene id. The results show the orthologous genes in Arabidopsis thaliana, Oryza sativa and eight Asteraceae species. After clicking on ‘Gene Number’, gene list will be returned in a new page.
Users can input a gene list, then the expression values (RPKM) of these genes will be returned in heat map.
Gene functions were annotated using InterProScan27 (v5.24) by searching against publicly available databases, including ProDom, PRINTS, Pfam, SMRT, PANTHER and PROSITE. The Gene Ontology (GO) and KEGG IDs for each gene were assigned according to the corresponding InterPro entry.
All data in TAD can be downloaded in Data page.
