拟南芥是一种属于芥菜科的小型一年生植物，全世界估计有7000名研究人员在研究它。除了为这种植物收集的大量遗传、生理和生化数据外，它还将是第一个完全测序的高等植物基因组，预计将于2000年底完成。测序工作得到了一个名为拟南芥基因组倡议(AGI)的国际合作的协调。对拟南芥进行深入研究的基本原理是，它是高等植物的一个极好的模式。为了最大限度地利用所获得的关于这种植物的知识，需要一个全面的数据库以及信息检索和分析系统，以便用户方便地获取拟南芥的信息。本文描述了我们在一个名为拟南芥信息资源(TAIR)(www.arabidopsis.org)的项目中为实现这些目标所采取的初步步骤。
Arabidopsis thaliana, a small annual plant belonging to the mustard family, is the subject of study by an estimated 7000 researchers around the world. In addition to the large body of genetic, physiological and biochemical data gathered for this plant, it will be the first higher plant genome to be completely sequenced, with completion expected at the end of the year 2000. The sequencing effort has been coordinated by an international collaboration, the Arabidopsis Genome initiative (AGI). The rationale for intensive investigation of Arabidopsis is that it is an excellent model for higher plants. in order to maximize use of the knowledge gained about this plant, there is a need for a comprehensive database and information retrieval and analysis system that will provide user-friendly access to Arabidopsis information. This paper describes the initial steps we have taken toward realizing these goals in a project called The Arabidopsis Information Resource (TAIR) (www.arabidopsis.org).
