FAWMine: An integrated database and analysis platform for fall armyworm genomics

Abstract Fall armyworm ( Spodoptera frugiperda ), a native insect species in the Americas, is rapidly becoming major agricultural pest worldwide and causing great damage to corn, rice, soybeans, other crops. To control this pest, scientists have accumulated deal of high‐throughput data fall armyworm, nine versions its genomes transcriptomes been published. However, easily accessing performing integrated analysis these omics sets challenging. Here, we developed Armyworm Genome Database (FAWMine, http://159.226.67.243:8080/fawmine/ ) maintain genome sequences, structural functional annotations, transcriptomes, co‐expression, protein interactions, homologs, pathways, single‐nucleotide variations. FAWMine provides powerful framework that helps users perform flexible customized searching, present using diverse visualization methods, output results tables range file formats, analyze candidate gene lists multiple widgets, query available InterMine systems. Additionally, stand‐alone JBrowse BLAST services are also established, allowing visualize RNA‐Seq search annotated sequences. Altogether, useful tool for querying, visualizing, analyzing compiled efficiently. will be continually updated function as community resource genomics research.
