Although hundreds of medical plants have been sequenced, the related data were scattered at different sources, which hindered the systematical researches on medical plants. To solve such a challenge, we proposed the integrative database called Traditional Chinese Medicine Plant Genome (TCMPG). TCMPG not only deposits the genome data of traditional Chinese medical plants, but also provides a series of computational tools for researchers to perform systematical analysis. At present, 160 kinds of plants, 195 corresponding genomes, and 255 herbs (different parts from the same plant), together with the related information on plant species, genomes, and herbal medicines were included in TCMPG.
      Moreover, the main genomic analysis tools, namely the BLAST to find orthologs from different plant, SSR Finder to identify SSRs, JBrowse to browse genomes, Synteny Viewer to display the syntenic blocks between two genomes, and HmmSearch to identify protein domain, were also embedded in TCMPG, which will facilitate the systematical analysis on medical plants. Once new data was reported, TCMPG will be updated and improved in time.
