About database content

Yam (Dioscorea spp.) is a vital staple and medicinal crop. To centralize its scattered omics resources, we have developed the Yam Omics Database (YamOmics). It integrates comprehensive multi-omics data, including genomes, transcriptomes, plastid genomes, genomic variants from numerous germplasms, and gene expression profiles. The database provides extensive gene annotations and features user-friendly web-based tools for primer design, CRISPR design, expression analysis, enrichment analysis, and phylogenetic inference, supporting fundamental research and breeding in yam.
