VectorBase是一个集成的关系型数据库，管理与节肢动物病媒有关的基因组和其他遗传/生物数据，最近开始构建本体和受控词汇表(CV)。因此，它的目的是为载体基因组的完整注释，特别是功能基因组数据的注释提供所有必要的工具。这项任务是从蚊子和扁虱的解剖本体论的开发开始的，这两个本体论都符合共同的解剖参考本体论CARO。本体论得到了基于网络的新型浏览器的发展的补充，这种浏览器可以显示解剖学术语的图形，这对于充分说明解剖学的受控词汇特别有帮助。
VectorBase, an integrated, relational database that manages genomic and other genetic/biological data pertaining to arthropod vectors of disease, has recently embarked on the construction of ontologies and controlled vocabularies (CVs). It aims, thus, at providing all necessary tools for the complete annotation of vector genomes and, in particular, the annotation of functional genomic data. This task was initiated with the development of anatomical ontologies of mosquitoes and ticks, both of which were made compliant to CARO, the common anatomy reference ontology. The ontologies are complemented by the development of novel web-based browsers that can show figures for anatomical terms, something that is especially helpful for fully illustrating the controlled vocabularies of anatomy.
