Abstract Single-cell multi-omics sequencing has greatly accelerated reproductive research in recent years, and the data are continually growing. However, utilizing these data resources is challenging for wet-lab researchers. A comprehensive platform for exploring single-cell multi-omics data related to reproduction is urgently needed. Here we introduce the single-cell multi-omics atlas of reproduction (SMARTdb), which is an integrative and user-friendly platform for exploring molecular dynamics of reproductive development, aging, and disease, covering multi-omics, multi-species, and multi-stage data. We have curated and analyzed single-cell transcriptome and epigenome data of over 2.0 million cells from 6 species across whole lifespan. A series of powerful functionalities are provided, such as “Query gene expression”, “DIY expression plot”, “DNA methylation plot”, and “Epigenome browser”. With SMARTdb, we found that the male germ-cell-specific expression pattern of RPL39L and RPL10L is conserved between human and other model animals. Moreover, DNA hypomethylation and open chromatin may regulate the specific expression pattern of RPL39L collectively in both male and female germ cells. In summary, SMARTdb is a powerful platform for convenient data mining and gaining novel insights into reproductive development, aging, and disease. SMARTdb is publicly available at https://smart-db.cn.
期刊介绍:
Genomics, Proteomics and Bioinformatics (GPB) is the official journal of the Beijing Institute of Genomics, Chinese Academy of Sciences / China National Center for Bioinformation and Genetics Society of China. It aims to disseminate new developments in the field of omics and bioinformatics, publish high-quality discoveries quickly, and promote open access and online publication. GPB welcomes submissions in all areas of life science, biology, and biomedicine, with a focus on large data acquisition, analysis, and curation. Manuscripts covering omics and related bioinformatics topics are particularly encouraged. GPB is indexed/abstracted by PubMed/MEDLINE, PubMed Central, Scopus, BIOSIS Previews, Chemical Abstracts, CSCD, among others.
