## Description

PulseDB, the Cool Season Food Legume Database, is an online research resource for people working with food legumes. The site brings together crop-specific information, genomic and genetic data, and tools to support research and breeding. It covers crops including chickpea, lentil, pea, common bean, cowpea, faba bean, mung bean, pigeon pea, and several other legumes.

Users can explore datasets, publications, genes, germplasm, markers, maps, traits, and QTL or GWAS results. Search features include sequence, gene, marker, publication, trait, and disease-name searches, alongside a MegaSearch option. Tools include BLAST+, genome browsers, expression heatmaps, map viewers, pathway resources, and a GWAS/QTL catalog. The site also provides breeding-focused features such as field books and searches for maps, markers, descriptors, and traits.

PulseDB supports community participation through data submission, gene curation information, mailing lists, newsletters, and user documentation. The website identifies Mainlab Bioinformatics at Washington State University as its provider and shares news about newly available genomes and research data.
