ORCAE (Online Resource for Community Annotation of Eukaryotes) is a public genome annotation curation resource. ORCAE-AOCC is a branch that is dedicated to the genomes published as part of the African Orphan Crops Consortium (AOCC). The motivation behind the development of the ORCAE platform was to create a knowledge-based website where the research-community can make contributions to improve genome annotations. All changes to any given gene-model or gene description are stored, and the entire annotation history can be retrieved. Genomes can either be set to "public" or "restricted" mode; anonymous users can browse public genomes but cannot make any changes. Aside from providing a user- friendly interface to view genome annotations, the platform also includes tools and information (such as gene expression evidence) that enables authorized users to edit and validate genome annotations. The ORCAE-AOCC platform will enable various stakeholders from around the world to coordinate their efforts to annotate and study underutilized crops.
ORCAE（真核生物在线注释资源）是一个公共的基因组注释管理资源。ORCAE-AOCC 是一个分支，专门用于发布非洲孤儿作物联盟（AOCC）的基因组。开发 ORCAE 平台的动机是创建一个基于知识的网站，研究社区可以在其中做出贡献，以改进基因组注释。任何给定基因模型或基因描述的所有更改都将被存储，并且可以检索整个注释历史记录。基因组可以设置为“公共”或“受限”模式；匿名用户可以浏览公共基因组，但不能进行任何更改。除了提供用户友好的界面来查看基因组注释外，该平台还包括工具和信息（如基因表达证据），使授权用户能够编辑和验证基因组注释。ORCAE-AOCC 平台将使来自世界各地的各种利益相关者能够协调努力，对未充分利用的作物进行注释和研究。
