Online Resources Useful for Plant Cytogenetics and Cytogenomics Research

Methods Mol Biol. 2023:2672:549-560. doi: 10.1007/978-1-0716-3226-0_33.

Abstract

The advancements in research in the field of plant cytogenetics and genomics in recent decades have led to a significant increase in publications. To simplify access to the widely dispersed data, there has been a rise in the number of online databases, repositories, and analytical tools. This chapter presents a comprehensive overview of these resources, which can be beneficial to researchers in these areas. It includes, among others, databases on chromosome numbers, special chromosomes (such as B chromosomes or sex chromosomes), some of which are taxon-specific; genome sizes, cytogenetics; and online applications and tools for genomic analysis and visualization.

Keywords: Chromosome number; Database; Genome size; Genome visualization; Karyotype; Repository.
