1 Euphorbiaceae DB home page

    The homepage of Euphorbiaceae DB displays general navigation bar, basic information, quick tools, version information and contact details. Euphorbiaceae DB provide 8 main functional modules, including Plants, Expression, Variation, Syntenic, Interaction, Search, Tools, Download.

2 Plant

    There are 6 species of Euphorbiaceae in the Plant drop-down. Users can quickly retrieve species-related information, including overview, morphology, introduction and genome information. The commonly used genome information of the species is counted in the genome information. Click Browse to jump to the gene overview page. Then, user can click on the interested gene to enter the detailed page, which show the basic information, expression level (FPKM), gene annotation information and sequence information.

3 Expression


You can use this tool to obtain the expression levels of protein-coding genes in 12 genome sets of 6 species of Euphorbiaceae under different tissue or stress conditions. User needs to select the interested genome, inputs the Gene ID (multiple inputs are supported, separated by commas), choose Heatmap Normalize (4 options) and select the tissue or stress condition (multiple selections are supported). After submission, the expression levels (FPKM) of the input genes were retrieved in a tabular format and visualized as a heatmap.

3.2 miRNA Target Prediction

We downloaded 708 miRNA sequences of 4 species (Ricinus communis, Jatropha curcas, Manihot esculenta, and Hevea brasiliensis) from the PmiREN, and then used the online tool psRNATarget to predict the miRNA target sites of these genomes. User needs to select the interested genome, inputs Gene ID (if don't input anything we will show all in the genome by default), and finally selects the miRNA sequence. After submission, we will show a form, including Gene ID, miRNA ID, Transcript ID, Expected Value, miRNA Seq and Target Seq. This form supports retrieval by Gene ID and provides functions such as downloading. Click on the Gene ID to jump to the related detail page.

We provide a visual view of DNA Methylation for 3 accession in Ricinus communis(ZB306) and Manihot esculenta(AMS560-2, TME-7), and click to Jbrowse page.

4 Variation


4.1 SNP

You can obtain the SNP information of the interested accessions. User needs to select the interested Genomic and the SNP type, chooses the Search type (Gene ID and Region), sets the range (default is 0, and the maximum value does not exceed 50kb), enters Gene or Region and selects Accessions. After submission, the table shows SNP information of the input, including SNP Position, Ref, Alt, Level, Type, Effect and the variant information of each accession.

4.2 GWAS & QTL

You can obtain the interested agricultural traits of GWAS or QTL. User needs to select the interested Genomic, Search type and Trait. After submission, the table shows related genomic position and support a quick link to SNP page.

4.3 LDheatmap

User needs to select the interested Genomic and enter Region. After submission, we will show a picture visualized as a linkage disequilibrium heatmap.


5 Syntenic


You can use Syntenic Gene to find homologous genes. Users need to select the genome in IN Genomic to find the genes of collinear fragments, then select the genome to compare in OUT Genomic, and finally enter the genes of the species to be compared. We will return the table and collinearity plot to you.

You can use Gene Structure to obtain the interested linear structure and CDS location of genes. User needs to select the interested genome and inputs the Gene ID (multiple inputs are supported, separated by commas). After submission, we will show CDS locations information as a form and visualized the gene linear structure map.

We used BLASTP to obtain the best alignments between species, providing a search for homologous sequences between the user querying species. After submission, we will show a form, including the best genes obtained by comparing the output genome with the input genome in OUT Genomic. This form supports retrieval by Gene ID and provides functions such as downloading. Click any Gene ID to jump to the related detail page.


6 Interaction


Users need to select interested genomes and enter Gene ID or list. After submission, the results is a network which shows the interaction between input genes.

You can use Pathway to predict functional genes in 19 hot pathways in Euphorbiaceae species. Users need to select pathways and interested genomes (multiple selections are supported). The prediction results are based on the Arabidopsis genes that function in the selected pathway as a reference (green in the pathway map represents the functional Arabidopsis genes), and the list shows the optimal genes predicted to function in the pathway (the best results of two-way comparison). If users need to get more prediction results, you can use the BLAST to compare.



The Keyword Search provides 4 search functions, including Gene Search, Go Search, KEGG Search, and Pfam Search. The user needs to select the interested genome and Search type, then enter the keywords ID or list. After submission, we will show a form that supports retrieval by gene ID and provides functions such as downloading. Click on the Gene ID to jump to the gene detail page.

Users can select the interested genome and enter the location (chromosome: start position-end position). After submission, we will show a form, including Gene ID, Chromesome, Start, End and Strand. This form supports retrieval by gene ID and provides functions such as downloading. Click on the Gene ID to jump to the gene detail page.

We provide 54 Transcription Factors, users can select one or more TFs, and the interested genome (multiple selections are supported). After submission, we will show a form, including Gene ID, TF Name and Specie. This form supports retrieval by gene ID and provides functions such as downloading. Click on the Gene ID to jump to the gene detail page.

We provide 24 Transcription Regulators, users can select one or more TRs, and the interested genome (multiple selections are supported). After submission, we will show a form, including Gene ID, TR Name and Specie. This form supports retrieval by gene ID and provides functions such as downloading. Click on the Gene ID to jump to the gene detail page.


8 Tools


8.1 Batch Download

You can use this Batch Download to batch download you interested CDS, gene or protein sequences. User needs to select the interested genome, inputs the Gene ID (multiple inputs are supported, separated by commas) and selects download type (cds, gene and protein). After submission, you will get a .tsv file.

8.2 BLAST

You can use BLAST to find homologous sequences in EupDB of interested gene. User needs to enter the fasta format sequence in the search box or directly drags the file into the search box, selects the Blast database to be compared, and sets the search parameters (optional, the default is evalue: 1.0e-5; num_alignments: 100 ), select software to use (BLASTN, BLASTP, TBLASTX and TBLASTN are supported). After submission, we will shows the results of the BLAST alignment.
