GABI

http://www.gabipd.org/

A range of tools for sequence analysis and manipulation.

From the abstract: GabiPD constitutes a repository and analysis platform for a wide array of heterogeneous data arising from high-throughput experiments in several plant species. Currently, data from different ‘omics’ fronts are incorporated in GabiPD (i.e., genomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics, proteomics), originating from 14 different model or crop species.
