Soybean Breeders Toolbox (new interface to SoyBase; USDA-ARS)
Soybean Physical Map (cv. Williams) (CMap views physical map; Phys map consortium)
Note: Soybase is a database of genetic, phenotypic, and other information about soybean. In 2006, we converted from an old genetic database system (AceDB) to a new relational system (MySQL) and built an enhanced web interface to the data, in particular using CMap to provide map visualizations. As the old AceDB interface to SoyBase is no longer being maintained, we discourage its use but you may access it here if necessary. The "Williams Physical Map" is an interface to data from the soybean phsical map project for cultivar "Williams." Sister projects, the Legume Information System (LIS) and Legume Information Network(LIN), provide additional comparative tools and resources. Please let us know if you have questions or suggestions.
