CottonGen (https://www.cottongen.org) is a curated and integrated web-based relational database providing access to publicly available genomic, genetic and breeding data to enable basic, translational and applied research in cotton. Built using the open-source Tripal database infrastructure, CottonGen supersedes CottonDB and the Cotton Marker Database, which includes sequences, genetic and physical maps, genotypic and phenotypic markers and polymorphisms, quantitative trait loci (QTLs), pathogens, germplasm collections and trait evaluations, pedigrees, and relevant bibliographic citations, with enhanced tools for easier data sharing, mining, visualization, and data retrieval of cotton research data. CottonGen contains annotated whole genome sequences, unigenes from expressed sequence tags (ESTs), markers, trait loci, genetic maps, genes, taxonomy, germplasm, publications and communication resources for the cotton community. Annotated whole genome sequences of Gossypium raimondii are available with aligned genetic markers and transcripts. These whole genome data can be accessed through genome pages, search tools and GBrowse, a popular genome browser. Most of the published cotton genetic maps can be viewed and compared using CMap, a comparative map viewer, and are searchable via map search tools. Search tools also exist for markers, quantitative trait loci (QTLs), germplasm, publications and trait evaluation data. CottonGen also provides online analysis tools such as NCBI BLAST and Batch BLAST. This project is funded/supported by Cotton Incorporated, the USDA-ARS Crop Germplasm Research Unit at College Station, TX, the Southern Association of Agricultural Experiment Station Directors, Bayer CropScience, Corteva/Agriscience, Dow/Phytogen, Monsanto, Washington State University, and NRSP10.

BIMS, the Breeding Information Management System, is a secure and comprehensive online breeding management system developed for the generic Tripal Database Platform which allows breeders to store, manage, archive and analyze their private breeding program. Breeders can load data in templates provided as well as output from the Field Book App, an android app for collecting phenotype data. In addition to the private breeders BIMS, users without accounts can also view the publicly available breeding data. The fully developed version will allow users to:

Fully integrate their data with publicly available genomic, genetic and breeding data in the community database.

Utilize their integrated pedigree, phenotype and genotype data in performing genomic analysis and making breeding decisions.

Use open-source new genomics tool and breeding decision tools with seamless access to HPC.
