More detailed functional annotations are now available on gene pages.

More detailed functional annotations are now available for most of genes in Arabidopsis. See the gene page of NRPD1A - Functional Annotation for example. Previous (only a short description is given): NRPD1A - Nnuclear RNA polymerase D1A. Currently: NRPD1A - Encodes one of two alternative largest subunits of a putative plant-specific RNA polymerase IV (aka RNA polymerase D). Required for posttranscriptional gene silencing.

The AlphaFold based 3D structure prediction is now available.

The AlphaFold based 3D structure prediction is now available for most of proteins in Arabidopsis. See the gene page of RDR2 - Structure Prediction (AlphaFold) for example.

The gene expression atlas is update.

The gene expression atlas offered by ePlant/BAR now supports mutiple tissues, different developmental stages, and more. See the gene page of RDR2 - Gene Expression Atlas (eFP) for example.

The new domain is available.

AraBase is now available from the domain: arabidopsis.ac.cn. This domain is donated by Jasmine Chen. Thanks for the supports! The old domain arabidopsis.heng.ac.cn is working as well.

The gene expression of ePlant is integrated into the database!

AraBase gene cards now connect Arabidopsis genes with ePlant expression views for faster exploration of gene-centered functional information.
