ASHS 2024 Conference

The Genome Database for Vaccinium (www.vaccinium.org) is a valuable resource for genomics, genetics, and breeding research related to blueberries, cranberries, bilberries, and lingonberries. It provides a wide range of genetic data, including genetic markers, linkage maps, and GWAS/QTL alongside genome data. GDV has the MapViewer tool to dynamically view genetic maps as well as genetic data associated with genomes and powerful search interfaces to query and download genetics data in table formats. For Vaccinium breeders, The Breeding Information Management System (BIMS) is a useful tool for storing, managing, archiving, and analyzing breeding data. Additionally, BIMS can be synchronized with the Field Book App to allow efficient phenotypic data collection and management. This poster will provide an update on new data and tools such as BIMS and MapViewer incorporated in GDV. We will demonstrate how these data and tools can be used for research and breeding activities.
