Abstract Gametogenesis plays an important role in the reproduction and evolution of species. The transcriptomic and epigenetic alterations in this process can influence the reproductive capacity, fertilization, and embryonic development. The rapidly increasing single-cell studies have provided valuable multi-omics resources. However, data from different layers and sequencing platforms have not been uniformed and integrated, which greatly limits their use for exploring the molecular mechanisms that underlie oogenesis and spermatogenesis. Here, we developed GametesOmics, a comprehensive database that integrated the data of gene expression, DNA methylation, and chromatin accessibility during oogenesis and spermatogenesis in humans and mice. GametesOmics provides a user-friendly website and various tools, including Search and Advanced Search for querying the expression and epigenetic modification of each gene; Tools with Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) analysis for identifying DEGs, Correlation analysis for demonstrating the genetic and epigenetic changes, Visualization for displaying single-cell cluster and screening marker genes as well as master transcription factors (TFs), and MethylView for studying the genomic distribution of epigenetic modifications. GametesOmics also provides Genome Browser and Orthologs for tracking and comparing gene expression, DNA methylations, as well as chromatin accessibilities between humans and mice. GametesOmics offers a comprehensive resource for biologists and clinicians to decipher the cell fate transition in germ cell development, and can be accessed at http://gametesomics.cn/.
期刊介绍:
Genomics, Proteomics and Bioinformatics (GPB) is the official journal of the Beijing Institute of Genomics, Chinese Academy of Sciences / China National Center for Bioinformation and Genetics Society of China. It aims to disseminate new developments in the field of omics and bioinformatics, publish high-quality discoveries quickly, and promote open access and online publication. GPB welcomes submissions in all areas of life science, biology, and biomedicine, with a focus on large data acquisition, analysis, and curation. Manuscripts covering omics and related bioinformatics topics are particularly encouraged. GPB is indexed/abstracted by PubMed/MEDLINE, PubMed Central, Scopus, BIOSIS Previews, Chemical Abstracts, CSCD, among others.
