Sesamum indicum Genetic Discovery Database (SiGeDiD)

Since 2014, the reference genome of sesame (Sesamum indicum L.), an ancient oilseed crop with a significant importance in the developing regions, was publicly released and has triggered several genetic and genomic studies on this crop’s biology. These studies have shed light on several genomic regions governing important agronomical traits. Up to date, hundreds of candidate genes, QTLs and functional molecular markers were discovered throughout the sesame genome. These valuable genomic resources are a prerequisite for the genetic improvement of sesame through molecular breeding. Because different approaches such as genome wide association study, bi-parental QTL mapping, association mapping, gene cloning and transgenic analysis, transcriptome sequencing, etc., were employed to identify these genomic resources, it is essential to gather them together on a physical map using the reference genome sequence of sesame. More importantly, to facilitate the exploitation of these data by the scientific community working on sesame, it is important to develop a user-friendly online database. Here, we present SiGeDiD (Sesamum indicum Genetic Discovery Database), a versatile database for functional analysis of the available candidate genes, QTLs and functional molecular markers in sesame. SiGeDiD will be updated regularly with new available genetic discoveries.

News
1. March 2018 and October 2018: Assembly and finalization of the SiGeDiD database.
2. January 2018 to March 2018 : Identification of genes, QTLs and molecular markers discovered in sesame, their physical location in the reference genome and their mapping.
3. November 2017 to January 2018 : Literature research, identification of scientific articles on sesame.

Markers, Genes and QTLs: : SiGeDiD supplied functional markers, genes and quantitative trait locus (QTLs) covering the coloration, disease, growth cycle, morphological characteristics, yield component, oil content and component, and stress in sesame.
In SiGeDiD you have 3 dimentions structure of all functional genes
