**5. Repository of omics data**

Continuously increased number of biological data is in need for a database to systematically store, organize and manage them. To date, several rice databases are available for the application in rice breeding programme, such as rice genome

database [74], SNP databases [53, 54, 78] and pathway databases [75, 76]. Each of these databases have their uniqueness and specific target users.

In this study, the flavonoid related gene, co-expressed gene and SNP are stored in a one-stop database that is specifically developed as a genetics and genomics repository to keep all information related to nutritional traits in rice known as *MyNutRice*Base (http://www.mynutricebase.org) (**Figure 2**). It provides a platform for data mining of SNPs and genes, data visualization and sequence similarity search analysis. *MyNutRice*Base aims to accelerate the genomics and genetic analysis by enabling the rice geneticist and breeders to mine and export the biological information for the application in rice breeding improvement.
