Ag Data Commons migration begins October 18, 2023

The Ag Data Commons is migrating to a new platform – an institutional portal on Figshare. Starting October 18 the current system will be available for search and download only. Submissions will resume after the launch of our portal on Figshare in November. Stay tuned for details!

AgBioData

AgBioData is a consortium of people working at agricultural biological databases, data archives and knowledgebases who strives to identify common issues in database development, curation, and management, with the goal of creating database products that are more Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR). Currently, there are over 150 people from 30 different databases and resources within the AgBioData consortium. We strive to promote authentic, detailed and accurate communication between all parties involved in scientific data.

For all agriculturally database personnel, we recommend joining the AgBioData consortium, attending the monthly conference call seminars, joining a working group, and working with your counterparts in other databases. A little time invested now in working together and applying common standards can save a lot of time later and prevent duplicated efforts in the development of tools and resources.

Germplasm Resources Information Network (GRIN)

    The Germplasm Resources Information Network (GRIN) is an online portal for information about agricultural genetic resources that are managed by the Agricultural Research Service of USDA, along with U.S. partnering organizations.

    PeanutBase

      PeanutBase ([peanutbase.org](https://peanutbase.org)) is the primary genetics and genomics database for cultivated peanut and its wild relatives. It houses information about genome sequences, genes and predicted functions, genetic maps, markers, links to germplasm resources, and maps of peanut germplasm origins.

      The Triticeae Toolbox

        [The Triticeae Toolbox](https://triticeaetoolbox.org/) (T3) webportal hosts data generated by the Triticeae Coordinated Agricultural Project (CAP), funded by the National Institute for Food and Agriculture (NIFA) of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). T3 contains SNP, phenotypic, and pedigree data from wheat and barley germplasm in the Triticeae CAP integrating rapidly expanding DNA marker and sequence data with traditional phenotypic data.

        T3 Wheat

          [The Triticeae Toolbox Wheat](https://wheat.triticeaetoolbox.org) (T3 Wheat) is a repository for public wheat data generated by the Wheat Coordinated Agricultural Project (Wheat CAP).

          T3 Barley

            [The Triticeae Toolbox Barley](https://barley.triticeaetoolbox.org) (T3 Barley) is an extension of The Hordeum Toolbox (THT), which was created by the preceding Barley CAP. T3 Barley incorporates all of the THT data.

            T3 Oat

              [The Triticeae Toolbox Oat](https://oat.triticeaetoolbox.org) (T3 Oat) is the repository of oat phenotype and genotype data for the Global Oat Genetics Database.

              Germplasm Resources Information Network (GRIN)

                The Germplasm Resources Information Network (GRIN) is an online portal for information about agricultural genetic resources that are managed by the Agricultural Research Service of USDA, along with U.S. partnering organizations.

                MaizeGDB

                  MaizeGDB is a community-oriented, long-term, federally funded informatics service to researchers focused on the crop plant and model organism Zea mays. Genomic, genetic, sequence, germplasm, gene product, metabolic pathways, functional characterization, literature reference, diversity, and expression are among the datatypes stored at MaizeGDB. At the project's website are custom interfaces enabling researchers to browse data and to seek out specific information matching explicit search criteria. First released in 1991 with the name MaizeDB, the Maize Genetics and Genomics Database, now MaizeGDB (since 2003), is funded, developed, and hosted by the USDA-ARS located at Ames, Iowa.
