The canine database iDog is officially online.

Recently, the canine animal database iDog, developed by the Kunming Institute of Zoology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in cooperation with the Beijing Genomics Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, was officially launched.
the research was published online in the international academic journal Nucleic Acids Research under the title iDog: an integrated resource for domestic dogs and wild animals.
dog is uncontroversially one of man's best friends and a basic research model for many human genetic diseases.
iDog is the first integrated resource database for domestic dogs and wild canines, providing a wealth of genomic data, genomic stitching data, gene expression spectrum data, canine diseases and related phenotype information, but also integrating sequence comparison tools for online data analysis and genomic browsers for data visualization.
the establishment of iDog, not only for the world's canine research, but also for a large number of dog lovers to provide a user-friendly interface to find relevant dog information.
iDog has good expansion and continuity, and its main modules include the variation information database based on 127 family genome resequencing data, the canine gene database containing 32220 genes, the gene expression database based on RNA-Seq sequencing data, the literature database of dog-related diseases, the human-dog disease homologous information database, the canine genome stitching database, etc.
iDog plans to integrate more genomic data in the context of the Dog10K project, continuously updating high-quality data sets and gradually transforming them into a repository of information about basic canine research. Wang Dong, a researcher at kunming animal institute in
, and Zhao Civilization, a senior engineer at the Beijing Genomics Institute, are co-authors of the article.
the project has been supported by the Chinese Academy of Sciences strategic pilot science and technology special, the National Natural Science Foundation, the national key research and development plan, the Chinese Academy of Sciences International Partnership Program, the Chinese Academy of Sciences "13th Five-Year Plan" informationization project, the Chinese Academy of Sciences key technology personnel project, the Chinese Academy of Sciences "100-person plan", the Chinese Academy of Sciences Youth Innovation Promotion Association and other funding.
