Summary

Abstract: [adapted from "About CottonDB"]

CottonDB contains information about Gossypium hirsutum and related
species. Russell Kohel at the USDA ARS Southern Crops Research
Laboratory (College Station, Texas) is coordinating the CottonDB
project.

CottonDB is based on ACeDB version 3.0 (Richard Durbin and Jean
Thierry-Mieg, MRC LMB Cambridge, England and CNRS, Montpellier,
France, respectively) with ...
