    Asteraceae, the largest family of angiosperms, has attracted widespread attention for its exceptional medicinal, horticultural, and ornamental value. However, researches on Asteraceae plants face challenges due to their intricate genetic background. With the continuous advancement of sequencing technology, a vast number of genomes and genetic resources from Asteraceae species have been accumulated. This has spurred a demand for comprehensive genomic analysis within this diverse plant group. To meet this need, we developed the Asteraceae Genomics Database (AGD; http://cbcb.cdutcm.edu.cn/AGD/). The AGD serves as a centralized and systematic resource, empowering researchers in various fields such as gene annotation, gene family analysis, evolutionary biology, and genetic breeding. AGD not only encompasses high-quality genomic sequences, and organelle genome data, but also provides a wide range of analytical tools, including BLAST, JBrowse, SSR Finder, HmmSearch, Heatmap, Primer3, PlantiSMASH, and CRISPRCasFinder. These tools enable users to conveniently query, analyze, and compare genomic information across various Asteraceae species. The establishment of AGD holds great significance in advancing Asteraceae genomics, promoting genetic breeding, and safeguarding biodiversity by providing researchers with a comprehensive and user-friendly genomics resource platform.
