What is the Genome Database for Vaccinium (GDV)?

The Genome Database for Vaccinium (GDV) is a curated and integrated web-based knowledgebase. The GDV contains genomic, genetic and breeding data for blueberry, cranberry and other Vaccinium species. GDV has a variety of data from genetic markers and maps to QTL and GWAS trait associations to genomes. All of this data can be explored using custom search interfaces and a variety of tools.  We also have the Breeding Informaiton Management Sysytem (BIMS) for management of breeding program data.

Why do we need a Genome Database for Vaccinium?

The amount of genetic and genomic research data for Vaccinium is steadily increasing and there is a need for a system that can organize, filter and provide analysis of the available research to be directly applied in breeding programs. The idea of creating this database emerged from several group discussions, in which scientists, breeders, data curators, university professors and bioinformaticians started working on the publicly available genetic and genomic information to make it available for practical use in breeding programs.
