We present here the Mangrove Transcriptome Database (MTDB), an integrated, web-based platform providing transcript information from all 28 mangrove species for which information is available. Sequences are annotated, and when possible, GO clustered and assigned to KEGG pathways, making MTDB a valuable resource for approaching mangrove or other extremophile biology from the transcriptomic level. As one example outlining the potential of MTDB, we highlight the analysis of mangrove microRNA (miRNA) precursor sequences, miRNA target sites, and their conservation and divergence compared with model plants. MTDB is available at http://mangrove.illinois.edu .
我们在此展示红树林转录组数据库 (MTDB)，这是一个集成的、基于网络的平台，提供了所有 28 种有信息可查的红树林物种的转录本信息。序列被注释，并且在可能的情况下，根据 GO 聚类并分配到 KEGG 途径，这使得 MTDB 成为从转录组水平研究红树林或其他极端生物的宝贵资源。作为一个突出 MTDB 潜力的例子，我们强调了对红树林 microRNA (miRNA) 前体序列、miRNA 靶位点及其与模式植物的保守性和差异性的分析。MTDB 可在 http://mangrove.illinois.edu 上获得。
