[A close up of a sign Description automatically generated]http://www.cottongen.org/ More Data. We added more data in 2023 including 18 new whole genome assemblyhttps://www.cottongen.org/tools/jbrowse, QTLhttps://www.cottongen.org/tripal_megasearch?datatype=tripal_megasearch_qtl, markers, genetic maphttps://www.cottongen.org/tripal_megasearch?datatype=tripal_megasearch_featuremap, genotypehttps://www.cottongen.org/find/snp/genotype, and phenotypehttps://www.cottongen.org/find/qualitative_traits data. We also started adding GWAS data and added more expression data! Check the 'Data Overviewhttps://www.cottongen.org/data_overview/1' page for currently available data. New and Updated Tools. MegaSearchhttps://www.cottongen.org/tripal_megasearch?datatype=tripal_megasearch_qtl and MapViewerhttps://www.cottongen.org/MapViewer are updated to display GWAS data, and the Expression Heatmap https://www.cottongen.org/heatmap allows researchers to quickly and easily identify patterns of gene expression that are associated with specific conditions or treatments. New Short Video Tutorials. This year we made six new video tutorials How to search cotton markers using https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrwYZB_ywsg MegaSearchhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrwYZB_ywsg How to view genomes linked to genetic mapshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHn-tIHKhfw How to use https://youtu.be/Ia3v650TZAg MegaSearchhttps://youtu.be/Ia3v650TZAg for Gene and Transcriptshttps://youtu.be/Ia3v650TZAg How to search traits and see all the linked datahttps://youtu.be/nKo8c7s5pHc How to use the Expression Heatmap Toolhttps://youtu.be/QU6trudNegg?si=PtobLDQSwNkiHzwQ How to view correspondences between genomes and genetic mapshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFMn9g5NsTw NewsLetters.
