A hallmark of modern biology is tremendous amounts of complex omics data, which require large-scale data management, comprehensive computational
analyses, and efficient integration, for better understanding of the data and hypothesis generation. For soybean with a newly sequenced genome,
there is an increasing need from the soybean community to have a one-stop interactive, web-based portal to browse, access and share knowledge
about soybean.
Towards this, we developed the Soybean Knowledge Base (SoyKB), a comprehensive all-inclusive web resource for soybean. SoyKB is designed to
handle the storage and integration of the gene, genomics, EST, microarray, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics,
pathway and phenotype data.
SoyKB provides an informatics-based social network system to build connections among soybean researchers, producers and consumers.
