Welcome to tomatoPangenome

     Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is one of the most important vegetable/fruit crops in terms of production worldwide, exhibiting significant genetic diversity shaped by domestication and breeding. However, comprehensive analysis of the gene-based super-pangenome has not been fully explored towards a catalog of all genes across sequenced tomatoes genomes. Currently, tomatoPangenome contained 61 tomato genomic sequences, encompassing 13 distant wild relatives, 11 ancestral wild species (SP), 12 early domesticates (SLC), four early cultivars (vintage), 17 modern domesticates, and four modern cultivars (fresh market), with containing 2,092,298 protein-coding genes. The resulting super-pangenome contained 59,066 orthologous groups where 12,843 (21.7%) groups contained genes from all tomato genomes were recognized as the core pan-gene set. Moreover, 3,735 (6.3%), 28,790 (48.7%), and 13,698 (23.2%) groups are classified as softcore (present in >99% of the 61 genomes), dispensable (present in 1-99% of the genomes), and private (present in <1% of the genomes) pan-gene sets, respectively. In the current tomato gene-based super-pangenome, we constructed an LRR-RLKome of 13,068 LRR-RLK pan-genes, representing LRR-RLK genes across the tomato clade. The LRR-RLK genes account for an average of 0.6256% (214.23) of the total genes within each of 61 tomato genomes, but with some variation between different genomes. All the protein sequences in tomatoPangenome were comprehensively annotated including InterPro, Gene Ontology, KEGG, MetaCyc and Reactome, as well as associated homologs in GenBank non-redundant (nr) and UniProt-SwissProt/TrEMBL protein databases.

     The tomatoPangenome provides user-friendly interfaces and search functions, as well as customized third-party tools, such as BLAST and JBrowse, to help users extract interesting information of genomic data in tomato individuals. All data in tomatoPangenome are freely available and will be updated regularly with newly generated shrimp reference genomes.
