3 The SOL Genomics Network (SGN) is a Clade Oriented Database (COD) containing
4 genomic, genetic, phenotypic and taxonomic information for plant genomes. SGN
5 originally concentrated on the Euasterid clade, including the families <a href="/about/about_solanaceae.pl">Solanaceae</a>
6 (e.g. tomato, potato, eggplant, pepper and petunia) and Rubiaceae
7 (<a href="/content/coffee.pl">coffee</a>), but since our tools are not specific to
8 these genomes, we are expanding our scope. If you are interested in using SGN
9 to explore one of the many new plant genomes being sequenced, please contact
12 Genomic information is presented in a comparative format and tied to other
13 important plant model species such as Arabidopsis. SGN is also one of the
14 bioinformatics centers involved in tomato genome sequencing.<br />
17 SGN is a <b>community curated</b> database. This means that <b>you</b> can contribute annotations to genes and phenotypes by becoming a <a href="/phenome/">locus editor</a>. You can also upload, analyze and share your <a href="/content/map_submissions.pl">map</a> and <a href="/qtl/">QTL data</a>. Contributions by members of the community like you help keep the information in the database up to date and correct.
