ANA Database

The ANA-grade, comprised of early-diverging lineages within flowering plants including Amborellales, Nymphaeales, and Austrobaileyales, holds a crucial evolutionary position. Here, we developed ANAgdb, a comprehensive multi-omics database dedicated to the ANA-grade, available at www.anagenome.cn. ANAgdb integrates 16 detailed annotated genomes of 11 species, which represents three orders … More →
