| Full name: | Plant Tandem duplicated Genes dataBase |
| Description: | PTGBase is a public database to collect plant genes generated by tandem duplication mechanism in the process of plant evolution. So far, PTGBase mainly focus on plants with available whole genome sequences especially for assembled pseudomolecules with ordered gene models. In this database, we have collected 39 plant species arrayed in 54,130 tandem repeat gene clusters containing 129,652 genes. |

PTGBase: an integrated database to study tandem duplicated genes in plants. [PMID: 25797062]
Tandem duplication is a wide-spread phenomenon in plant genomes and plays significant roles in evolution and adaptation to changing environments. Tandem duplicated genes related to certain functions will lead to the expansion of gene families and bring increase of gene dosage in the form of gene cluster arrays. Many tandem duplication events have been studied in plant genomes; yet, there is a surprising shortage of efforts to systematically present the integration of large amounts of information about publicly deposited tandem duplicated gene data across the plant kingdom. To address this shortcoming, we developed the first plant tandem duplicated genes database, PTGBase. It delivers the most comprehensive resource available to date, spanning 39 plant genomes, including model species and newly sequenced species alike. Across these genomes, 54?130 tandem duplicated gene clusters (129?652 genes) are presented in the database. Each tandem array, as well as its member genes, is characterized in complete detail. Tandem duplicated genes in PTGBase can be explored through browsing or searching by identifiers or keywords of functional annotation and sequence similarity. Users can download tandem duplicated gene arrays easily to any scale, up to the complete annotation data set for an entire plant genome. PTGBase will be updated regularly with newly sequenced plant species as they become available. © The Author(s) 2015. Published by Oxford University Press. |
