The Arabidopsis Information Portal (https://www.araport.org) is a new online resource for plant biology research. It houses the Arabidopsis thaliana genome sequence and associated annotation. It was conceived as a framework that allows the research community to develop and release 'modules' that integrate, analyze and visualize Arabidopsis data that may reside at remote sites. The current implementation provides an indexed database of core genomic information. These data are made available through feature-rich web applications that provide search, data mining, and genome browser functionality, and also by bulk download and web services. Araport uses software from the InterMine and JBrowse projects to expose curated data from TAIR, GO, BAR, EBI, UniProt, PubMed and EPIC CoGe. The site also hosts 'science apps,' developed as prototypes for community modules that use dynamic web pages to present data obtained on-demand from third-party servers via RESTful web services. Designed for sustainability, the Arabidopsis Information Portal strategy exploits existing scientific computing infrastructure, adopts a practical mixture of data integration technologies and encourages collaborative enhancement of the resource by its user community.
拟南芥信息门户(https://www.araport.org)是植物生物学研究的一个新的在线资源。它存储了拟南芥基因组序列及相关注释。它被构想为一个框架,使研究团体能够开发和发布“模块”,这些模块可整合、分析和可视化可能存于远程站点的拟南芥数据。当前的实施方案提供了一个核心基因组信息的索引数据库。这些数据可通过功能丰富的网络应用程序获取,这些应用程序提供搜索、数据挖掘和基因组浏览器功能,也可通过批量下载和网络服务获取。Araport使用来自InterMine和JBrowse项目的软件来展示来自TAIR、GO、BAR、EBI、UniProt、PubMed和EPIC CoGe的经过整理的数据。该网站还托管“科学应用程序”,这些程序是作为社区模块的原型开发的,它们使用动态网页来展示通过RESTful网络服务从第三方服务器按需获取的数据。为实现可持续性而设计,拟南芥信息门户战略利用现有的科学计算基础设施,采用实用的数据集成技术组合,并鼓励用户社区对该资源进行协作式改进。
