http://zhoulab.usc.edu/TopDom/
Software tool to identify Topological Domains, which are basic builiding blocks of genome structure. Detects topological domains in a linear time., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 16,2025.
Proper citation: TopDom (RRID:SCR_016964) Copy
Genotype and phenotype database for maize images based on BioDIG. Supports multiple reference genomes and has been integrated with the MaizeGDB Genome Browser to make custom tracks showing mutant phenotypes within their genomic context. Allows for custom tagging of images to highlight regions related to the phenotypes. This is accomplished through an interface allowing users to create links from images to genomic coordinates and to curate and search images by gene model ID, gene symbol, and gene name.
