ANAgdb: a multi-omics and taxonomy database for ANA-grade
Abstract
Abstract Background The ANA-grade, encompassing early-diverging angiosperm lineages, Amborellales, Nymphaeales, and Austrobaileyales, represents a fundamental phase in the evolutionary history of flowering plants. Since the completion of key assembly of the Amborella genome, the continuous influx of omics data from the lineage underscores the need for a specialized database. Results Here, we introduce the ANA-grade Genome Database (ANAgdb, https://anagenome.cn/ ), which integrates multi-omics data including 11 genomes, 167 transcriptomes, and 10 miRNAomes, as well as extensive taxonomic details specific to the ANA-grade. Designed with an array of user-friendly tools, ANAgdb not only facilitates the effective storage, querying, and analysis of data but also enables the integration and dissemination of crucial genomic and taxonomic information. Conclusion By integrating the comprehensive resources and tools, ANAgdb aims to significantly advance research in phylogenomics and taxonomic studies, providing a robust platform for researchers to explore the genetic and morphological diversities of these ancient plant lineages.
