MaizeGDB是一个高度策划的，面向社区的数据库和信息服务，为专注于作物和模式生物玉米的研究人员提供服务。梅斯虽然在过去的25年里，玉米社区数据库已经存在了一些形式，但只有两个主要版本。1991年，创建了最初的玉米遗传数据库MaizeDB。2003年，MaizeDB的内容和ZmDB的序列数据被合并为一个名为MaizeGDB的资源。在接下来的十年里，MaizeGDB变得更加序列驱动，同时仍然维护传统的玉米遗传数据集。这使该项目能够满足玉米研究界不断增长和不断变化的需求，但界面和基础设施保持不变。2015年，MaizeGDB团队完成了多年的努力，通过重组现有数据、升级硬件和基础设施、创建新工具、整合新数据类型（包括多样性数据、表达数据、基因模型和代谢途径）以及开发和部署现代接口来更新MaizeGDB资源。除了协调数据资源外，MaizeGDB团队还协调活动并为玉米研究界提供技术支持。MaizeGDB可在http://www.maizegdb.org上在线访问。
MaizeGDB is a highly curated, community-oriented database and informatics service to researchers focused on the crop plant and model organism Zea mays ssp. mays. Although some form of the maize community database has existed over the last 25 years, there have only been two major releases. In 1991, the original maize genetics database MaizeDB was created. In 2003, the combined contents of MaizeDB and the sequence data from ZmDB were made accessible as a single resource named MaizeGDB. Over the next decade, MaizeGDB became more sequence driven while still maintaining traditional maize genetics datasets. This enabled the project to meet the continued growing and evolving needs of the maize research community, yet the interface and underlying infrastructure remained unchanged. In 2015, the MaizeGDB team completed a multi-year effort to update the MaizeGDB resource by reorganizing existing data, upgrading hardware and infrastructure, creating new tools, incorporating new data types (including diversity data, expression data, gene models, and metabolic pathways), and developing and deploying a modern interface. In addition to coordinating a data resource, the MaizeGDB team coordinates activities and provides technical support to the maize research community. MaizeGDB is accessible online at http://www.maizegdb.org.
