Hi everybody,
Join us tomorrow, *April 2nd, at 12 PM CDT,* and meet iBeetle-Base
<https://ibeetle-base.uni-goettingen.de/>, the new AgBioData member
database. *Gregor Bucher *from the University of Gottingen will discuss
this integrated genomic and phenotypic information resource for red flour
beetle research.
I have included more details about the webinar and the Zoom link to attend
the webinar below.
I hope you will join us.
Best,
Annarita

*Abstracts:*
*iBeetle-Base - a phenotypic database with community edition*
The red flour beetle *Tribolium castaneum* has become an important insect
model organism to study gene function and RNAi mediated pest control.
iBeetle-Base was developed to document morphological phenotypes from the
genome-wide RNAi gene-knockdown screen iBeetle and has become an integrated
resource of genomic and phenotypic information for *Tribolium
castaneum* research.
Since our last release in 2024, iBeetle-Base allows the community to
contribute RNAi phenotypes and associate Gene Ontology terms and
publications with *Tribolium* genes (“community addition”). This novel
functionality overcomes the lack of curators for databases of small
communities. Further, we improved data accessibility, via programming
interfaces alongside traditional HTML pages, which facilitates the
automatic usage of the database by scripting and third-party tools.
Importantly, this phenotypic database with its special adaptations to small
research communities could become the nucleus for other interlinked
databases in the future. iBeetle-Base is freely accessible at
