The Soybean GBrowse Database combines Perl MySQL
database programming with Gbrowse to provide an
integrated way of presenting soybean genomic features.
This customized database provides the mapping of
relationships between soybean genomic features in a way
that is presentable in GBrowse. Clicking on certain
features also searches our database for listings of
these relationships.
Note that the soybean genome is
comparatively large, approximately 1,112 MB; a
diploidized tetraploid, the product of two genome
duplications that occurred 8-10 MYA and 40-50 MYA;
extensively segmented and reshuffled; and, 64 percent
euchromatic and 36 percent heterochromatic. The
methodology for converting our data into a format
GBrowse can use is explained futher below.
