CorkOakDB aims to integrate the knowledge generated from fundamental and applied studies about Quercus suber , with a focus on genetics.
Quercus suber (cork oak) is an important tree species from the Mediterranean region, mostly known for the sustainable production of cork and its distribution on protected ecosystems known as “montado” (in Portuguese) or “dehesa” (in Spanish).
CorkOakDB features the first draft genome of Quercus suber , released in 2018 by the GENOSUBER consortium , and allows genome browsing and gene search . It also incorporates other types of data from cork oak scientific research, including gene expression data from publicly available datasets.
