【LSL eResources series】Using TAIR for Plant Research: Practical Tools for Arabidopsis and Crops(In Chinese)(Physical and Video Class)
2025-09-25 （Thu） 10:00~12:00
Dr.Ho-Ming Chen(Associate Research Fellow, ABRC)
A133 Room, Agricultural Technology Building
Arabidopsis thaliana is the most extensively studied model plant. Its vast and high-quality data and annotations are not only important for Arabidopsis researchers, but also highly valuable for the study of other plant species, especially crops.
This workshop will introduce The Arabidopsis Information Resource (TAIR), an online platform that provides gene annotations, sequence data, functional information, and a variety of useful research tools. We will focus on how to apply TAIR’s features to non-Arabidopsis research—such as identifying crop gene orthologs, predicting gene function, and exploring genomic features.
Through hands-on practice and live demonstrations, participants will learn to:
-
Navigate the TAIR website and gene information pages
-
Search for orthologs and use the BLAST tool
-
Use the genome browser to explore gene models and various high-throughput sequencing datasets
By the end of this workshop, you will feel more confident using TAIR to support your own research in comparative genomics, functional prediction, and hypothesis generation.
