About Project

Maize pangenome resources maintained for comparative genomics research

The database integrates representative maize inbred line assemblies and provides a structured portal for sample metadata, pan-genome relationships, gene annotation, synteny, expression profiles, and downstream analysis tools.

Maize Pangenome Database
Project Overview

Collaborative maize genomic resource

The Maize Pangenome Database is led by the Maize Genomic Breeding Team of Yazhou Bay National Laboratory, in collaboration with the Biotechnology Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences and the Center of Genomics and Bioinformatics at the College of Agriculture, South China Agricultural University.

The database is developed and maintained by the Center of Genomics and Bioinformatics, South China Agricultural University.

Mission

To accelerate maize research and breeding by providing a centralized, high-quality pangenome resource for exploring genetic diversity, identifying important genes, and supporting crop improvement.
