Abstract

The National Agricultural Biotechnology Information Center developed an access portal to search, visualize, and share agricultural genomics data with a focus on South Korean information and resources. The portal features an agricultural biotechnology database containing a wide range of omics data from public and proprietary sources. We collected 28.4 TB of data from 162 agricultural organisms, with 10 types of omics data comprising next-generation sequencing sequence read archive, genome, gene, nucleotide, DNA chip, expressed sequence tag, interactome, protein structure, molecular marker, and single-nucleotide polymorphism datasets. Our genomic resources contain information on five animals, seven plants, and one fungus, which is accessed through a genome browser. We also developed a data submission and analysis system as a web service, with easy-to-use functions and cutting-edge algorithms, including those for handling next-generation sequencing data.
