Benefits
Creating insights together, accelerate breeding
Organize, integrate and visualize information
Best crop genomics integration and knowledge discovery tool in the world. By using state-of-the-art visualization tools, complex data is made easily accessible. Data integration allows for seamless searching and jumping from one visualization tool to the other with a single mouse click.
Collaborate and share findings & information easily
Use workspaces to keep your discoveries private if necessary, or share them with your team to improve collaboration and optimize your workflow. Gather and save data in your workspace to get a clear overview of the trait you are working on.
Benefit from high-quality data. Better insight, better genes and markers
Fully functionally annotated genes from KeyGene’s in-house annotation pipeline are integrated and searchable. Using more than 25 years of KeyGene experience in plant data to ensure optimal quality of data. Significantly accelerated discovery timelines. Better insight, better markers.
Facilitate molecular breeders and trait experts as well as bio-informaticians
User-friendly interface to access complex data for molecular biologists. Specific database management module and an Application Programming Interface for expert bioinformatics access. Compatible with in-house pipelines.
Public and proprietary data in one environment
Query private and public data simultaneously with world-leading data security measures that safeguard your data. Integrate and use datasets from multiple crop species of various origins and data types.
Full administrator access to the system
Ready-to-use software with plug-and-play installation. User authentication and user groups allow for controlled access to the tools and data on the system. Monitor and manage system processes directly on the system.
A look inside
Key functionalities that deliver results
Integrated search functionality
Search all available data sources in CropPedia. Find your candidate genes quicker through faceted filtering capabilities. Introduce gene passports and extensive functional annotation reports.
Genome browser
Visualize genomic regions by using the seamless integration with the JBrowse software. Enjoy a user-friendly configuration interface.
Comparative map viewer
Display and compare multiple genomic and genetic maps in one view. Pinpoint interesting regions using built-in synteny visualization. Access the search module directly from each mapped feature.
Variomics
Use the world’s fastest variation viewer to compare structural variation of (re)sequenced germplasm lines in complete populations and filter for interesting variation based on annotated function.
Omics analysis
Analyze your metabolomics or RNAseq datasets using boxplots, co-expression and correlation analysis. Identify differentially expressed genes and compounds.
Blast alignment
Perform a blast alignment against the genomic sequences in CropPedia and immediately visualize the results in the genome browser.
