Function enhancement of RARGE

Abstract

RIKEN Arabidopsis Genome Encyclopedia (RARGE) database provides information of basically Arabidopsis resources which includes full-length cDNAs, their promoter regions, Ds transposon-tagged lines and microarray expression profiles, and implements searching tools using resource code and words as a query. We have isolated 245 946 of cDNAs and collected 11 933 of transposon-tagged lines. Recently, we added a novel data on alternative splicing to the database. Data on 1,794 TU of alternative splicing variants are available in RARGE. Users can browse these data categorized by splicing type with gene alignment and genome mapping view. In this meeting, we describe about function enhancement of searching service for integrated analysis supporting biology researchers
