EpiDB is a platform for sharing processed NGS data useful as reference information and data reuse to link genotype to phenotype in domestic food animal species.

Created in 2014, EpiDB is a smart, interactive repository and platform for searching and analyzing domestic food animal epigenetic and gene expression data. The main idea of this web-based resource was to make functional next-generation sequencing (NGS) data for chicken, cattle, pig, horse, and sheep available as pre-processed and summarized genomic information to the scientific community, as well as to promote the re-use of existing data.

Functions already available are (legacy data):

  • Querying the meta data database to facilitate data re-use;
  • Downloads available for tissue specific, whole transcriptome expression baseline levels;
  • Access to a dynamic gene expression atlas;
  • Datasets for cattle, pig, chicken, sheep, and horse.
Future:
  • Add new data from cattle FAANG project;
  • Provide tissue-specific allele specific expression;
  • Provide full epigenetic expression levels, as miRNA and methylation;
  • Facilitate all livestock species;
  • Incorporate ChIPseq and regulation information;
  • Expand to additional species and data types.
