GelFAP: Gene Functional Analysis Platform for Gastrodia elata

Gastrodia elata, also named Tianma, is a valuable traditional Chinese herbal medicine. It has numerous important pharmacological roles such as in sedation and lowering blood pressure and as anticonvulsant and anti-aging, and it also has effects on the immune and cardiovascular systems. The whole gen...

description Gastrodia elata, also named Tianma, is a valuable traditional Chinese herbal medicine. It has numerous important pharmacological roles such as in sedation and lowering blood pressure and as anticonvulsant and anti-aging, and it also has effects on the immune and cardiovascular systems. The whole genome sequencing of G. elata has been completed in recent years, which provides a strong support for the construction of the G. elata gene functional analysis platform. Therefore, in our research, we collected and processed 39 transcriptome data of G. elata and constructed the G. elata gene co-expression networks, then we identified functional modules by the weighted correlation network analysis (WGCNA) package. Furthermore, gene families of G. elata were identified by tools including HMMER, iTAK, PfamScan, and InParanoid. Finally, we constructed a gene functional analysis platform for G. elata1. In our platform, we introduced functional analysis tools such as BLAST, gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA), and cis-elements (motif) enrichment analysis tool. In addition, we analyzed the co-expression relationship of genes which might participate in the biosynthesis of gastrodin and predicted 19 mannose-binding lectin antifungal proteins of G. elata. We also introduced the usage of the G. elata gene function analysis platform (GelFAP) by analyzing CYP51G1 and GFAP4 genes. Our platform GelFAP may help researchers to explore the gene function of G. elata and make novel discoveries about key genes involved in the biological processes of gastrodin.
