• Populus has become an important model plant system. However, utilization of the increasingly extensive collection genetics and genomics data created by community is currently hindered lack a central resource, such as organism database (MOD). Such MODs offer single entry point to resources available within system, typically including tools for exploring querying those resources. As starting overcoming MOD Populus, we present Genome Integrative Explorer (PopGenIE), integrated set genome transcriptome. The resource includes genome, synteny quantitative trait locus (QTL) browsers genetic data. Expression include electronic fluorescent pictograph (eFP) browser, expression profile plots, co-regulation collated transcriptomics sets, identification over-represented functional categories genomic hotspot locations. A number sets are made in eFP browser facilitate exploration gene function. Additional homology extraction provided. PopGenIE significantly increases accessibility allows without need learn or understand complex statistical analysis methods. at http://www.popgenie.org via http://www.populusgenome.info.
