MIMI DB – An integrated multi-omics database on Minor Millets

On minor millets, MIMI DB also covers a wide variety of crops, providing demographic and nutrient information crucial for agricultural practices. Technologically, MIMI DB is built using HTML and CSS scripts for the frontend interface, ensuring user-friendliness, while Python and JavaScript power the backend processing, enabling efficient data management and analysis.


Coimbatore: Tamil Nadu Agricultural University recently received a computer software copyright award for the development of the Minor Millet Omics Database"MIMI DB” funded by the Department of Biotechnology from the Copyright Office of the Government of India.

MIMI DB, which stands for Minor Millet Database, serves as a centralized repository of multi-omics data, encompassing genomics, transcriptomics, and metabolomics, for all six main minor millet species. Beyond its focus on minor millets, MIMI DB also covers a wide variety of crops, providing demographic and nutrient information crucial for agricultural practices. Technologically, MIMI DB is built using HTML and CSS scripts for the frontend interface, ensuring user-friendliness, while Python and JavaScript power the backend processing, enabling efficient data management and analysis. Key features of MIMI DB include comprehensive data provision tailored for farmers and advanced research tools catering to researchers, offering insights into genes, transcripts, proteins, and metabolites.

The platform's user-friendly interface facilitates seamless navigation for users of all backgrounds. The launch of MIMI DB marks a significant milestone in agricultural research and innovation, with the potential to revolutionize the understanding and cultivation of minor millet species, contributing to food security and sustainability. MIMI DB emerges as a pivotal resource bridging the gap between agricultural practice and scientific inquiry, setting a new standard for the study and cultivation of minor millet species.
