ANAgdb

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 →

Genome

ANAgdb currently encompasses 15 publicly available genome assemblies across eleven species and 1 newly assembled genome (Amtr_2024) produced by our group, including Amborella trichopoda, Brasenia schreberi, Cabomba caroliniana, Euryale ferox, Illicium verum, Nuphar advena, Nymphaea colorata, Nymphaea mexicana, Nymphaea thermarum, Schisandra chinensis and Victoria cruziana. These datasets represent all open-access genome assemblies in the ANA-grade.

Transcriptome

ANAgdb now includes a comprehensive collection of 167 RNA-Seq libraries from five ANA-grade species. This collection comprises data from various tissues, in-cluding 14 tissues from Amborella trichopoda, 7 from Brasenia schreberi, 2 from Euryale ferox, 7 from Nymphaea colorata, and 5 from Nymphaea thermarum. For each gene, the FPKM values are provided ...

miRNA

ANAgdb has retrieved sRNA-seq datasets for A. trichopoda and N. colorata from public databases. Utilizing the established miRNA identification pipeline cen-tered around miRDeep-P2 (Kuang et al., 2018), we identified 186 miRNAs belong-ing to 109 families in A. trichopoda and 141 miRNAs belonging to 88 families in N. colorata.
