Abstract
As one of the most important crops to supply the majority of plant oil and protein for the whole world, soybean is facing an increasing global demand. The reference genome of accession “Williams82” opened the gate of genomics research in soybean (Schmutz et al., 2010). After that, vast multi-omics data were generated, thereby providing valuable resources for functional study and molecular breeding. Parts of these data have been collected in different soybean databases (see details in Supplemental Table 1), such as Soybase (Grant et al., 2010) and SoyKB (Joshi et al., 2012), which made valuable efforts to facilitate the wide utility of these data.
