Bioinformatics - Afternoon Mueller, Lukas [1], Binns, John [2], Buels, Robert [2], Kreuter, Marty [2], Lin, Chenwei [2], Menda, Naama [1], Skwarecki, Beth [2], Tanksley, Steve [3]. The SOL Genomics Network, a comparative genomics resource for the Solanaceae and related Euasterids. THE SOL Genomics Network (SGN, http://sgn.cornell.edu) is a comprehensive web resource dedicated to genomic information for the Solanaceae and related species, and is a part of the bioinformatics infrastructure of the international tomato sequencing project. SGN focuses especially on markers, maps, and sequence data, including EST sequences and associated unigene builds, as well as genomic sequence from the tomato genome sequencing project. The database currently contains data for tomato, potato, pepper, eggplant, petunia and coffee and will soon expand to include other important model species in the Euasterids in the near future. All data is accessible in a comparative format with intuitive graphical interfaces, such as a comparative map viewer for viewing the relationships between the genetic and physical maps in the database, and an interactive phylogenetic tree viewer for the sequence relationships among computationally inferred gene families. Sequences for over 400,000 BAC ends from the tomato sequencing project and over 100 fully sequenced BACs with preliminary annotations and dozens of FISH localizations are already on-line. The number of sequenced and FISHed BACs is expected to grow rapidly as the sequencing project progresses. SGN also provides a number of standard tools, including BLAST, and custom-designed tools, such as an intron finder and a CAPS designer.
