GDR (www.rosaceae.org) is a curated and integrated web-based relational database providing access to publicly available genomic, genetic and breeding data for Rosaceous crops. GDR contains annotated whole genome sequences, transcripts, markers, trait loci, genetic maps, genes, taxonomy, germplasm, publications and communication resources for the Rosaceae community. In this update we report on new functionality and data including access the addition of RNASeq and GBS data viewable through implementation of the JBrowse genome viewer, as well as new genome, trait, map and marker data, and new or improved search tools. The accepted community database for Rosaceae research, GDR was accessed by 14,227 users from 127 countries in 2013, with over 170,000 pages accessed.
