High-throughput sequencing technologies have revolutionized studies of 3D genome structures, revealing unprecedented insights into the complexity of genome-wide gene regulation in eukaryotes. To analyze and compare 3D genome structures, we developed a plant 3D-genome database, 3D-GDP, for interspecies comparative functional genomics (http://www.3d-gdp.com/). 3D-GDP includes all publicly available plant 3D genome sequences. It offers detailed analyses and comparisons of 3D genome structures among 26 plant species, with comprehensive information on topologically associating domains (TADs), loops, and compartments, as well as gene annotations. 3D-GDP also provides a range of bioinformatic tools such as a genome browser, TAD function prediction, and specialized modules for prediction and systematic comparison of chromatin structures across species to identify conserved TADs and loop structures. 3D-GDP thus constitutes a resource-rich, integrated database and innovative platform that can be used to reveal the evolutionary conservation of 3D genome structures and their relevance for genome-wide gene regulation in plants and beyond.
高通量测序技术彻底改变了对三维基因组结构的研究,为真核生物全基因组基因调控的复杂性带来了前所未有的见解。为了分析和比较三维基因组结构,我们开发了一个用于种间比较功能基因组学的植物三维基因组数据库3D-GDP(http://www.3d-gdp.com/)。3D-GDP包含所有公开可用的植物三维基因组序列。它提供了26种植物之间三维基因组结构的详细分析和比较,以及关于拓扑相关结构域(TADs)、环和区室的全面信息,还有基因注释。3D-GDP还提供了一系列生物信息学工具,如基因组浏览器、TAD功能预测,以及用于跨物种预测和系统比较染色质结构以识别保守TADs和环结构的专门模块。因此,3D-GDP构成了一个资源丰富的综合数据库和创新平台,可用于揭示三维基因组结构的进化保守性及其与植物及其他生物全基因组基因调控的相关性。
