The CritiCal-C database is a specialized platform for investigating cytosine-mediated gene regulation in rice, a staple crop vital to global food security. It integrates BS-Seq and RNA-Seq datasets, enabling systematic exploration of cytosine methylation patterns across developmental stages, environmental conditions, and stress treatments. Researchers can identify regulatory cytosines linked to stress resilience, hormone signaling, and grain development. Interactive visualization tools facilitate data interpretation, supporting targeted studies on yield stability and agricultural optimization. This database bridges epigenetics and functional genomics, offering insights for crop improvement strategies and sustainable agriculture.
