Goose multi-omics database: A comprehensive multi-omics database for goose genomics
Abstract
Multi-omics has helped elucidate the gene expression patterns and genomic variations closely associated with economically significant traits in geese. Despite the substantial genomic data generated through extensive goose studies, a unified platform for integrating these datasets is lacking. To address this gap, we introduced the Goose Multi-omics Database (GMD), which is accessible at http://goosedb.com/. The GMD is a comprehensive resource enabling streamlined search, analysis, and visualization of genetic information through a unified interface, providing insights into phenotypic traits, gene sequences, structures, expression profiles, genomic variations, gene families, homology, and collinearity. Equipped with robust analytical tools such as GBrowse and BLAST, the GMD facilitates rapid access to target gene information, significantly enhancing the efficiency and productivity of genomic research. By serving as a versatile and intuitive online repository, the GMD offers transformative potential for advancing goose biology, fostering multi-omics investigations, and integrating cutting-edge methodologies such as deep learning to accelerate discoveries in goose genomics.
