General Information

The Rice Cyt P450 Database was created to integrate and host functional genomic information for all putative rice cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450s), as a part of Joint BioEnergy Institute (JBEI). The database contains information on 341 putative rice P450s (gene models). Rice P450s were retrieved from Cytochrome P450 Homepage, and then mapped onto MSU/TIGR V6 genome annotation. P450 pseudogenes were not integrated into our database. Our goal is to integrate disparate data sets into a logical, user-friendly format. To accomplish this, we have developed a platform to display user-selected functional genomic data on a phylogenetic tree, including sequence information, mutant line information, expression data and so on. The database also includes an interactive chromosomal map showing the positions of all rice P450s. Links are provided to the MSU/TIGR and RAP-DB rice genome annotation databases. We hope this format will make it easier to compare closely related P450s within different families as well as perform global comparisons between sets of related families. We would greatly appreciate any feedback you may have that would assist us in continually improving this database.
