Agricultural Research Service

The Agricultural Research Service (ARS) is the principal in-house research agency of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).

See SoyBase Database and Agricultural Research Service

Ames, Iowa

Ames is a city in Story County, Iowa, United States, located approximately north of Des Moines in central Iowa.

See SoyBase Database and Ames, Iowa

DNA methylation

DNA methylation is a biological process by which methyl groups are added to the DNA molecule.

See SoyBase Database and DNA methylation

Epigenetics

In biology, epigenetics is the study of heritable traits, or a stable change of cell function, that happen without changes to the DNA sequence.

See SoyBase Database and Epigenetics

Gene expression is the process by which information from a gene is used in the synthesis of a functional gene product that enables it to produce end products, proteins or non-coding RNA, and ultimately affect a phenotype.

See SoyBase Database and Gene expression

Generic Model Organism Database

The Generic Model Organism Database (GMOD) project provides biological research communities with a toolkit of open-source software components for visualizing, annotating, managing, and storing biological data. SoyBase Database and Generic Model Organism Database are Model organism databases.

See SoyBase Database and Generic Model Organism Database

Genetic linkage

Genetic linkage is the tendency of DNA sequences that are close together on a chromosome to be inherited together during the meiosis phase of sexual reproduction.

See SoyBase Database and Genetic linkage

Genome

In the fields of molecular biology and genetics, a genome is all the genetic information of an organism.

See SoyBase Database and Genome

Genome-wide association study

In genomics, a genome-wide association study (GWA study, or GWAS), is an observational study of a genome-wide set of genetic variants in different individuals to see if any variant is associated with a trait.

See SoyBase Database and Genome-wide association study

Glycine soja

Glycine soja, known as wild soybean, is an annual plant in the family Fabaceae.

See SoyBase Database and Glycine soja

InterMine

InterMine is an open source data warehouse system, licensed under the LGPL 2.1. SoyBase Database and InterMine are biological databases.

See SoyBase Database and InterMine

Mendelian inheritance

Mendelian inheritance (also known as Mendelism) is a type of biological inheritance following the principles originally proposed by Gregor Mendel in 1865 and 1866, re-discovered in 1900 by Hugo de Vries and Carl Correns, and later popularized by William Bateson.

See SoyBase Database and Mendelian inheritance

In biochemistry, a metabolic pathway is a linked series of chemical reactions occurring within a cell.

See SoyBase Database and Metabolic pathway

Metabolism (from μεταβολή metabolē, "change") is the set of life-sustaining chemical reactions in organisms.

See SoyBase Database and Metabolism

Microsatellite

A microsatellite is a tract of repetitive DNA in which certain DNA motifs (ranging in length from one to six or more base pairs) are repeated, typically 5–50 times.

See SoyBase Database and Microsatellite

Nucleic acid

Nucleic acids are large biomolecules that are crucial in all cells and viruses.

See SoyBase Database and Nucleic acid

Open-source software

Open-source software (OSS) is computer software that is released under a license in which the copyright holder grants users the rights to use, study, change, and distribute the software and its source code to anyone and for any purpose.

See SoyBase Database and Open-source software

Protein

Proteins are large biomolecules and macromolecules that comprise one or more long chains of amino acid residues.

See SoyBase Database and Protein

Public domain

The public domain (PD) consists of all the creative work to which no exclusive intellectual property rights apply.

See SoyBase Database and Public domain

Quantitative trait locus

A quantitative trait locus (QTL) is a locus (section of DNA) that correlates with variation of a quantitative trait in the phenotype of a population of organisms.

See SoyBase Database and Quantitative trait locus

Restriction fragment length polymorphism

In molecular biology, restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) is a technique that exploits variations in homologous DNA sequences, known as polymorphisms, populations, or species or to pinpoint the locations of genes within a sequence.

See SoyBase Database and Restriction fragment length polymorphism

Single-nucleotide polymorphism

In genetics and bioinformatics, a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP; plural SNPs) is a germline substitution of a single nucleotide at a specific position in the genome.

See SoyBase Database and Single-nucleotide polymorphism

Soybean

The soybean, soy bean, or soya bean (Glycine max) is a species of legume native to East Asia, widely grown for its edible bean, which has numerous uses.

See SoyBase Database and Soybean

United States Department of Agriculture

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is an executive department of the United States federal government that aims to meet the needs of commercial farming and livestock food production, promotes agricultural trade and production, works to assure food safety, protects natural resources, fosters rural communities and works to end hunger in the United States and internationally.
