The Gene Ontology [ 15] is an extensive resource of functional annotations of genes in three main categories Biological Process, Molecular Function and Cellular Component.
The GOC provides the research community a comprehensive resource of functional information on gene products.
BambooGDB is a novel resource of functional annotation for bamboo genome and analytical platform to facilitate studies about genetic and genomic of bamboo.
This, taken together with the availability of a complete genome sequence and an increasing number of resources for functional genomics, gives Bd the potential to become a significant model species with which to investigate resistance to Fusarium species and provide information of direct relevance to wheat and other cereal crops.
To demonstrate the value of those new resources for functional analysis of omics data for the genus Aspergillus, we performed two case studies analyzing microarray data recently published for A. nidulans, A. niger and A. oryzae.
This has been addressed early on with the development of resources for functional genomics such as the Tos17 insertion mutant panel (Hirochika 2001) and the rice full-length cDNA collection (Kikuchi et al. 2003).
Finally, we performed two case studies to demonstrate the value and flexibility of the newly generated resources for functional analysis of omics data for the genus Aspergillus.
To demonstrate the use of those newly generated resources for functional analysis of omics data, we applied them in two case studies to re-analyze recently published microarray data in an automated and un-biased manner.
Also, the data presented here would provide resources for functional genomics of S. frugiperda and investigation of mechanisms underlying the biology of the insect.
The transcriptome data will also serve as valuable resources for functional characterization of maize genes as more than 30% of transcripts represented un-annotated genes, leaving many functions to be discovered.
We were interested in whether NRSE sites would be effective for delimiting transgene expression to the nervous system within the context of enhancer trap screens in zebrafish, and thereby provide improved resources for functional studies of the nervous system.
