KAIKObase was established in 2009 as the genome database of the domesticated silkworm Bombyx mori. It provides several gene sets and genetic maps as well as genome annotation obtained from the sequencing project of the International Silkworm Genome Consortium in 2008. KAIKObase has been used widely for silkworm and insect studies even though there are some erroneous predicted genes due to misassembly and gaps in the genome. In 2019, we released a new silkworm genome assembly, showing improvements in gap closure and covering more and longer gene models. Therefore, there is a need to include new genome and new gene models to KAIKObase. In this article, we present the updated contents of KAIKObase and the methods to generate, integrate and analyze the data sets.

家蚕基因组数据库 KAIKObase 的更新


KAIKObase 成立于 2009 年，是家蚕Bombyx mori的基因组数据库。它提供了2008年国际家蚕基因组联盟测序项目获得的多个基因集和遗传图谱以及基因组注释。尽管由于错误组装和缺口而存在一些错误的预测基因，但KAIKObase已广泛应用于家蚕和昆虫研究在基因组中。 2019年，我们发布了新的家蚕基因组组装，显示了间隙闭合方面的改进并覆盖了更多更长的基因模型。因此，需要将新的基因组和新的基因模型纳入KAIKObase中。在本文中，我们介绍了 KAIKObase 的更新内容以及生成、集成和分析数据集的方法。
