Plant Editosome Database - CNCB-NGDC

Plant Editosome Database (PED) is a database that contains curated editing factors (experimentally validated), predicted candidate editing factors, expression matrices of editing factor hallmark domain-containing genes, as well as other related data. Meanwhile, PED is currently equipped with EFDetector and BLASTP tools.

Examples: DYW2, ndhD, Zea mays
