SolDB is the Database of Solanaceae Family. It is an interactive, free online specialized database for Solanaceae family. Currently, it spans complete nucleotide sequences of expressed genes of Solanum lycopersicum and Solanum tuberosum along with their annotation. We have designed PCR oligonucleotide primer sequences for each gene, with their features and conditions given. This feature alone greatly facilitates researchers in PCR amplification of genes sequences, especially in cloning experiments. We also provided chloroplast genome section which gives access to fully sequenced plastid genomes and their annotations. Flexible database design, easy expandability, and easy retrieval of information are the main features of SolDB. The Database is publicly available at www.soldb.pakbiz.org.
