The Bio-Analytic Resource for Plant Biology

• BAR.utoronto.ca allows easy exploration of large biological data sets for hypothesis generation:

• 128,000 Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms

• 150 million gene expression measurements (75 million from A.th.)

• Documented subcellular localizations for 9.3k proteins, predicted localization for most of Arabidopsis proteome, from SUBA

• 70,944 predicted protein-protein interactions plus 36,306 documented PPIs

• 67,275 predicted protein tertiary structures and 700+ experimentally-determined structures

• Suite of easy-to-use tools for exploring these data

• Papers describing BAR tools have been cited ~2298 times

• Linked to and from by NCBI, TAIR, FLAGdb++, SIGnAL etc.
