Vision for GDR To provide high-quality online community database resources to enable Rosaceae research in genomics, genetics and breeding Easy to use Current Scalable and fast Easy to manage and update Resource efficient Utilize a common, interoperable platform Interoperable with other useful databases Self-sustaining in the medium term

Rosaceae Researcher without an up to date, comprehensive database Button-clicking energized RR using an up to date database to help make research-decisions

Building an Efficient Database Generic Database schema Chado Content Management System Drupal modules as web front-end for Chado

Current Data and Functionality Data for all major crops - almond, apple, apricot, blackberry, cherry, peach, pear, raspberry, rose, strawberry Annotated peach, strawberry, pear and apple genome sequences such as gene models, mapped transcripts, putative gene function assignments – GO, KEGG) Apple-peach-strawberry synteny available through GBrowse_Syn Curated Rosaceae gene database Annotated genera and family unigenes (v5) Pathway data (PeachCyc, FragariaCyc and AppleCyc) 9K apple, 9K peach and 6K cherry illumina array SNPs 123 Genetic maps Gene, EST, marker, trait, QTL, polymorphism, publications search modules Genotypic, phenotypic and breeding data for search and download Decision tools for breeders BLAST, GenSAS, CAP3, SSR, Sequence Retrieval online tools

Major Data Sets in GDR

Accessing GDR

Community Databases and Big Data Recent advances in sequencing, genotyping, and phenotyping technologies have led to a paradigm shift in crop science research – driven by “Big Data” Individual scientists now routinely Sequence and genotype genomes from populations, families, individuals of interest Pursue large-scale gene expression studies Create highly saturated genetic maps Identify genome wide loci influencing traits of interest Conduct large-scale standardized phenotyping.

GDR Funding : Funded by NSF PGRP, USDA NIFA SCRI, WTFRC, Washington State University, & Clemson University 2014 – 2019: USDA SCRI (GDR, $2.7m) USDA NIFA NRSP10 (Crop Database Resources, $2m) NSF DIBBs (Tripal, $1.48 m) USDA SCRI: RosBREED 2 ($10 M – GDR $250K) NSF PGRP (Tree Crop Databases, $4.7m) - pending

GDR Governance More formalized structure has been implemented to ensure the community needs are met The U.S. Rosaceae Genomic, Genetics and Breeding Executive Committee (RosEXEC) will be the official Advisory Board to GDR Quarterly reports will be submitted and quarterly GoToMeetings held to receive input and feedback

What’s Coming – More specifically Add more large-scale data (genomic, transcriptomes, phenotypic, genotypic) >1000 apple accessions - GBS data >200 apricot genomes Large scale phenotypic and genotypic data from RosBREED 2 and FruitBreedOmics RNASeq data from multiple projects Raspberry and rose reference genomes

What’s Coming – GenSAS v3.0

What’s Coming – More specifically Add more curated QTL and trait data, annotated by standardized community agreed ontologies Further incorporate and develop online tools to aid Marker- Assisted Breeding such as field apps, expanded public and private breeders toolbox. Make the current and future Tripal modules publicly available Further refinement/development of the Tripal modules –QTL, germplasm and diversity module –Breeders Toolbox –Web services
