About AvoBase

AvoBase is a comprehensive platform dedicated avocado genomics. The database curates high-quality chromosome-level reference assemblies for the primary available avocado genomes: "Hass", "Gwen", and "West Indian".

Our mission is to empower the global plant scientific community, plant breeders, and agricultural researchers by streamlining access to multidimensional multi-omic datasets. AvoBase offers interactive tools including genome browsers, synteny viewers, and transcriptomic analysis tools.
