A Database of Regulatory SNPs for Agricultural Plant Species

Welcome to agReg-SNPdb-Plants, a database storing SNPs and their predicted impact on transcription factor (TF) binding in promoter regions for different crop species.

Today, it is well known that SNPs in transcription factor binding sites (TFBSs) can dramatically affect the level of gene expression, since they can cause a change in binding affinity of TFs. Such SNPs are referred to as regulatory SNPs (rSNPs) which have gained attention in life sciences due to their causality for specific traits or diseases.

agReg-SNPdb Plants comprises the agriculturally important plant species Rapeseed, Sunflower, Barley, African rice, Wild rice, Asian rice Indica Group, Asian rice Japonica Group, Tomato, Sorghum, Bread wheat, Durum wheat, Grape, Maize, for which we identified a total of 30,035,515 rSNPs.

Check out the About page to learn more about the pipeline for the identification of rSNPs.
