The Soil Texture Calculator web tool allows the user to input sand and clay percentages to obtain the soil texture. An Excel version is also available for download.
Miscellaneous soil data management, summary, visualization, and conversion utilities to support soil survey operations within the USDA-NRCS. Many of the functions are highly specialized and inherit default arguments from the names used by the various NCSS (National Cooperative Soil Survey) databases.
soilDB is one of the Algorithms for Quantitative Pedology (AQP) suite of R packages, and comprises a collection of functions for reading data from USDA-NCSS soil databases including SoilWeb, Series Extent Explorer, and Soil Data Explorer.
Algorithms for Quantitative Pedology (AQP) is a collection of code, ideas, documentation, and examples wrapped-up into several R packages. The AQP suite of R packages are used to generate figures for SoilWeb, Series Extent Explorer, and Soil Data Explorer.
Sequence Retrieval allows users to download nucleotide and protein sequences including chromosomes, scaffolds, genes, mRNAs, transcript coding sequences, protein, reftrans contigs and unigene contigs. For the sequences aligned to larger sequences, such as genes, mRNAs and transcript coding sequences, a numeric value specifying the number of upstream bases and downstream bases can be entered.
MapViewer is a graphical tool for viewing and comparing *Gossypium* spp. genetic maps. It includes dynamically scrollable maps, correspondence matrices, dot plots, links to details about map features, and exporting functionality. It was developed by the MainLab at Washington State University and is available for download for use in other Tripal databases.
CottonGen has an instance of the JBrowse genome browser for viewing genome data. A list of the Whole Genomes and Chloroplast Genomes is available together with a JBrowse tutorial for more details about how to navigate and use JBrowse.
CottonGen offers BLAST with genome, transcriptome, peptide and marker sequence databases from *Gossypium* species. This can be done using nucleotide sequences or peptide sequences. BLAST functionality is similar to that on NCBI.
