dictyBase（dictybase.org）是社会性变形虫盘状网柄阿米巴的模式生物数据库（MOD）。网骨藻独特的生物学和系统发育地位提供了一个很好的机会，以获得知识的过程中没有其他生物的特点。最近完成的34 MB基因组序列，以及相当大的科学文献使用网骨藻作为研究生物体，提供了必要的工具，以创建一个注释良好的基因组。dictyBase拥有由酵母基因组数据库和通用模式生物数据库项目开发的软件。这减少了开发全功能MOD所需的时间，并极大地促进了我们专注于注释和提供新功能的能力。我们希望人工管理的网骨藻基因组将有助于其他基因组的注释。
dictyBase (http://dictybase.org) is the model organism database (MOD) for the social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum. The unique biology and phylogenetic position of Dictyostelium offer a great opportunity to gain knowledge of processes not characterized in other organisms. The recent completion of the 34 MB genome sequence, together with the sizable scientific literature using Dictyostelium as a research organism, provided the necessary tools to create a well-annotated genome. dictyBase has lever-aged software developed by the Saccharomyces Genome Database and the Generic Model Organism Database project. This has reduced the time required to develop a full-featured MOD and greatly facilitated our ability to focus on annotation and providing new functionality. We hope that manual curation of the Dictyostelium genome will facilitate the annotation of other genomes.
