Methods Mol Biol. 2017:1533:149-159. doi: 10.1007/978-1-4939-6658-5_7.

Abstract

Soybean Knowledge Base (SoyKB) is a comprehensive all-inclusive web resource for bridging the gap between soybean translational genomics and molecular breeding. It provides information for six entities including genes/proteins, microRNAs (miRNAs)/small interfering RNAs (sRNA), metabolites, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), and plant introduction lines and traits. It has a user-friendly web interface publicly available at http://soykb.org , which integrates and presents data in an intuitive manner to the soybean researchers, breeders, and consumers. It incorporates several informatics and analytical tools for integrating and merging various multi-omics datasets.

Keywords: Database; Genomics; Glycine max; Knowledge base; Metabolomics; Multi-omics; Proteomics; SoyKB; Soybean; Transcriptomics.
