The Genome Database for Rosaceae (GDR, www.rosaceae.org) is the community database for basic, translational and applied research in almond, apple, apricot, blackberry, cherry, peach, pear, raspberry, rose and strawberry. Built using the Tripal platform, GDR provides an online portal of up to date, curated and integrated genomics, genetics and breeding data, combined with a suite of tools facilitating intuitive data mining and analysis. With a new theme included, GDR has been redesigned to provide more efficient access to the data, tools and resources for crops of interest. New and updated data and functionality in GDR include reference transcriptomes using published RNASeq data, new PlantCyc metabolic pathway databases, synteny data, the most current genome data, genetic maps, molecular markers, and QTL data. We will also discuss plans for further development through 2019 for this USDA and NSF funded resource.
