Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: SorghumBase (https://www.sorghumbase.org) is a USDA-ARS funded resource for curated genomic and genetic data sets, relevant news and events for the sorghum research community. SorghumBase is working closely with the community to support stewardship of sorghum genomics data, establishing best-practices on managing the data and coordination with the community. It contains the most recent genetic, physical and genomic sequence maps integrated with curated gene expression atlas, pathway and QTL data. SorghumBase provides the literature database and wealth of the information through news and events to sorghum researchers and coordinates with the community in improving reference structural gene annotation, standards for nomenclature and support for genetic variation. We also coordinate with the Millet and Sorghum Crop Germplasm Committee (USDA-ARS) to develop a community sorghum marker panel for domestic use. In addition, weekly news items related to sorghum include highlights on recent publications, conferences and community events. We provide a user guide, training sessions, and welcome feedback. SorghumBase will offer sorghum investigators improved data collation and exposure that will aid in building an even more robust research community in support of genomics assisted breeding. Supported by USDA-ARS #8062-21000-044-00D.
