General information

URL: https://pigome.com
Full name: PIGOME: An Integrated and Comprehensive Multi-omics Database for Pig Functional Genomics Studies
Description: In addition to being a major source of animal protein, pigs are an important model for studying development and diseases in humans. Over the past two decades, thousands of high-throughput sequencing studies in pigs have been performed using a variety of tissues from different breeds and developmental stages. However, multi-omics databases specifically designed for pig functional genomics research are still limited. Here, we present PIGOME, a user-friendly database of pig multi-omics. PIGOME currently contains seven types of pig omics datasets, including whole-genome sequencing (WGS), RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), microRNA sequencing (miRNA-seq), chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq), assay for transposase-accessible chromatin sequencing (ATAC-seq), bisulfite sequencing (BS-seq), and methylated RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing (MeRIP-seq), from 6901 samples and 392 projects with manually curated metadata, integrated gene annotation, and quantitative trait locus information. Furthermore, various “Explore” and “Browse” functions have been established to provide user-friendly access to omics information. PIGOME implements several tools to visualize genomic variants, gene expression, and epigenetic signals of a given gene in the pig genome, enabling efficient exploration of spatiotemporal gene expression/epigenetic patterns, functions, regulatory mechanisms, and associated economic traits. Collectively, PIGOME provides valuable resources for pig breeding and is helpful for human biomedical research.

In addition to being a major source of animal protein, pigs are an important model for the study of development and diseases in humans. During the past two decades, thousands of high-throughput sequencing studies in pigs have been performed using a variety of tissues from different breeds and developmental stages. However, the multi-omics database specifically used for pig functional genomic research is still limited. Here, we present a user-friendly database of pig multi-omics named PIGOME. PIGOME currently contains seven types of pig omics datasets, including whole-genome sequencing (WGS), RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), microRNA sequencing (miRNA-seq), chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq), assay for transposase-accessible chromatin sequencing (ATAC-seq), bisulfite sequencing (BS-seq), and methylated RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing (MeRIP-seq), from 6901 samples and 392 projects with manually curated metadata, integrated gene annotation, and quantitative trait locus information. Furthermore, various "Explore" and "Browse" functions have been established for user-friendly access to omics information. PIGOME implemented several tools to visualize genomic variants, gene expression, and epigenetic signals of a given gene in the pig genome, enabling efficient exploration of spatial-temporal gene expression/epigenetic pattern, function, regulatory mechanism, and associated economic traits. Collectively, PIGOME provides valuable resources for pig breeding and is helpful for human biomedical research. PIGOME is available at https://pigome.com.
