• IGTCM (An Integrative Genome Database of Traditional Chinese Medicines) is a comprehensive database of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) genome and is also an integrative database of TCM with modern molecular biology. It contains six diverse components including herb, ingredient, gene, protein, rna and cds, which integrate TCM with modern molecular biology not only by internal molecular mechanism, also by enhanced understanding of secondary metabolic processes.


• The genome sequencing of TCMs helps to elucidate the biosynthesis pathways of important secondary metabolites, and provides a necessary resources for systematically exploring the genes related to the synthesis of ingredients with significant medicinal activities and excellent agronomic traits, improving TCM varieties, protecting gene resources and molecular breeding. Therefore, IGTCM serves as an essential resource for gene discovery studies, decomposition of biosynthetic pathways and molecular breeding and the database provides valuable resources for future research on drug discovery, protection and rational utilization of TCM resources.


• IGTCM is a database containing TCM complete genome by Bioinformatics and Biomedical Big data Mining Laboratory in Guizhou Medical University.
