About the Banana Genome Hub

The Banana Genome Hub (BGH) is a community website that federates genomic data on banana which developed by Cirad and the Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT supported by the South Green Bioinformatics platform. The BGH is based on Drupal and Tripal and related modules to facilitate the integration between various systems (Jbrowse, Galaxy, Gigwa) for plant genome analysis.

The Banana Genome Hub (BGH) belongs to the South Green genomes hubs that are part of the Elixir France Service Delivery plan. The BGH has been registered in bio.tools and FAIRshairing to facilitate interoperability.
