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.

BIMS, the Breeding Information Management System, is a secure and comprehensive online breeding management system developed for the generic Tripal Database Platform which allows breeders to store, manage, archive and analyze their private breeding program. Breeders can load data in templates provided as well as output from the Field Book App, an android app for collecting phenotype data. In addition to the private breeders BIMS, users without accounts can also view the publicly available breeding data. The fully developed version will allow users to: * Fully integrate their data with publicly available genomic, genetic and breeding data in the community database. * Utilize their integrated pedigree, phenotype and genotype data in performing genomic analysis and making breeding decisions. * Use open-source new genomics tool and breeding decision tools with seamless access to HPC.

[AgBase](https://agbase.arizona.edu/index.html) Version 2.0 is a curated, open-source, Web-accessible resource for functional analysis of agricultural plant and animal gene products including gene ontology annotations. Its long-term goal is to serve the needs of the agricultural research communities by facilitating post-genome biology for agriculture researchers and for those researchers primarily using agricultural species as biomedical models. AgBase uses controlled vocabularies developed by the Gene Ontology (GO) Consortium to describe molecular function, biological process, and cellular component for genes and gene products in agricultural species.

Expressed genes from two individual sibling specimens of *Coleomegilla maculata* (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae). One individual was fed only insect eggs as an adult, and one was fed only pollen as an adult. Two sequenced samples, total RNA from a single individual adult specimen of *Coleomegilla maculata*, a beneficial lady beetle common in agroecosystems and native to North America. One sample was an adult fed only insect eggs (carnivore diet) and one sample was an adult fed only pollen (plant-based diet); insects were reared from the same egg mass (siblings), fed identical diet while in larval stage.
