BBGD: an Online Database for Blueberry Genomic Data

<p>NOTE: This dataset is no longer publicly available.</p> <p>BBGD (<a href="http://bioinformatics.towson.edu/BBGD/">http://bioinformatics.towson.edu/BBGD/</a>) was developed as a database for blueberry genomics. BBGD is both a sequence and gene expression database. It stores both EST and microarray data and allows scientists to correlate expression profiles with gene function. BBGD is a public online database. "Presently, the main focus of the database is the identification of genes in blueberry that are significantly induced or suppressed after low temperature exposure. "</p> <p>To gain a better understanding of changes in gene expression associated with cold acclimation in blueberry, the Rowland laboratory (USDA-ARS, Beltsville, MD) has undertaken a genomics approach based on the analysis of Expressed Sequence Tags (ESTs). Initially, two standard cDNA libraries were constructed using RNA from cold-acclimated and non-acclimated floral buds of the blueberry cultivar ‘Bluecrop’ (<em>Vaccinium corymbosum</em> L.) and about 1200 5’-end ESTs were generated from each of the libraries. About 100 3’-end ESTs were generated from the cold-acclimated library as well.</p> <p>The Blueberry EST database contains EST sequences from a number blueberry libraries including cold acclimated and non-acclimated libraries. It also includes forward and reverse subtractive libraries.</p> <p>You can query the sequence database by clone ID, accession number or gene (clone) name below. Or you can get a list (in tabular) format of all the clones in a particular library by clicking on the library name on the left side navigation bar.</p> <p>Attribution for photo: <br><a href="http://www.ars.usda.gov/is/graphics/photos/sep12/d2601-1.htm">D2601-1 - Blueberry plant:</a> Copyright free, public domain photo by Mark Ehlenfeldt</p>
