IMP: bridging the gap for medicinal plant genomics

Medicinal plants have garnered significant attention in ethnomedicine and traditional medicine due to their potential antitumor, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Recent advancements in genome sequencing and synthetic biology have revitalized interest in natural products. Despite the availability of sequenced genomes and transcriptomes of these plants, the absence of publicly accessible gene annotations and tabular formatted gene expression data has hindered their effective utilization. IMP (Integrated Medicinal Plantomics) is a freely accessible platform storing genetic, genome assembly, and transcriptome sequencing data encompassing various organs, tissues, developmental stages and stimulations.药用植物凭借潜在的抗肿瘤、抗炎与抗氧化活性，在民族医药与传统医学中受到广泛关注。近年来，基因组测序与合成生物学领域的技术进步，再度唤起了学界对天然产物的研究热情。尽管目前已获得此类植物的基因组与转录组测序数据，但缺乏公开可获取的基因注释信息及表格化基因表达数据，这严重制约了其高效开发与利用。整合药用植物组学（Integrated Medicinal Plantomics，IMP）是一个免费开放的平台，存储了涵盖不同器官、组织、发育阶段及刺激处理条件下的遗传数据、基因组组装结果与转录组测序数据。
