2018 ASHS Annual Conference

National Research Support Project 10 (NRSP10, www.nrsp10.org) is a USDA NIFA, US Land Grant Universities, and industry funded project which provides standardized database and informatics resources for undeserved or specialty crops such as tree fruit, nuts, and berries. It builds on existing database resources developed for Rosaceae (Genome Database for Rosaceae), Citrus (Citrus Genome Database), Vaccinium (Genome Database for Vaccinium), Cool Season Food Legumes (Cool Season Food Legume Genome Database) and Cotton (CottonGen). Developed using Tripal, an open-source, resource-efficient, modular, well supported platform, these community databases provide centralized access to integrated genomic, genetic and breeding data and analysis tools for 25 crops representing a combined annual production value of over $25 B. We highlight the broader impacts of the current projects and driven by the research community it serves, we highlight plans for the next 5-year project, which focuses on providing tools and analysis capability to manage and utilize big data for both discovery and crop improvement, whilst leveraging funding from multiple sources as we develop solution for sustainability of these research-enabling resources.
