Abstract

The Hymenoptera Genome Database (HGD; http://hymenopteragenome.org) is a genome informatics resource for insects of the order Hymenoptera, which includes bees, ants and wasps. HGD provides genome browsers with manual annotation tools (JBrowse/Apollo), BLAST, bulk data download, and a data mining warehouse (HymenopteraMine). This chapter focuses on the use of HymenopteraMine to create annotation data sets that can be exported for use in downstream analyses. HymenopteraMine leverages the InterMine platform to combine genome assemblies and official gene sets with data from OrthoDB, RefSeq, FlyBase, Gene Ontology, UniProt, InterPro, KEGG, Reactome, dbSNP, PubMed, and BioGrid, as well as precomputed gene expression information based on publicly available RNAseq. Built-in template queries provide starting points for data exploration, while the QueryBuilder tool supports construction of complex custom queries. The List Analysis and Genomic Regions search tools execute queries based on uploaded lists of identifiers and genome coordinates, respectively. HymenopteraMine facilitates cross-species data mining based on orthology and supports meta-analyses by tracking identifiers across gene sets and genome assemblies.
