Gene structure annotation consists of creating gene models that define the most probable exon and intron structure(s), transcription start/stop(s), and other features for each gene. Accurate and complete gene models are essential to understanding genome biology. PlantGDB's genome browsers facilitate gene structure annotation using yrGATE. More information: Annotation Overview

PlantGDB provides genome browsers using the xGDB* platform, for plant species whose genomes have been completely or partially sequenced. These genome browsers provide high quality spliced alignments of available transcripts as well as predicted proteins from related model species. * xGDB = eXtensible Genome Data Broker, an open-source software infrastructure for integrated evaluation of genome features.
