The activity and web service of national agricultural biotechnology information center (NABIC) in Korea

摘要

The National Agricultural Biotechnology Information Center (NABIC) plays a leading role in maintaining the agricultural genome information in Korea. Our system provides valuable genomic information, including genetic markers, gene annotation, analytical tools and next-generation sequencing system to analyze massive sequencing data. In 2014, we reconstructed a biological integrated-based genome database for agricultural plants and livestock. The NABIC has developed the application of informatics approaches to agricultural biotechnology to support molecular and conventional breeding programs for new crops. In the future, we plan to develop an integrated biotechnology database that combines genome and gene functional information in the major crops. In addition, we will provide a BIGDATA-based database and bioinformatics tools to solve complex biological problems with next-generation sequencing technologies to analyze massive sequencing and transcriptomics data.
