CocoaGenDB is a new cocoa database that comprises molecular genetic, genomic and phenotypic data developed through a collaborative project involving the CIRAD (Centre de Coopération Internationale en Recherche Agronomique pour le Développement, France), the University of Reading (School of Plants Sciences, UK) and the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture, USA). This database will combine molecular genetic information contained in TropGENE DB (a molecular database developed by CIRAD) with phenotypic data contained in ICGD (International Cocoa Germplasm Database developed by the University of Reading).
This database allows performing complex queries combining genetic and phenotypic information. The consultation web interface has to be specifically designed to allow end-users (breeders or molecular geneticists) to best exploit genetic information available on cocoa germplasm.
