GrainGenes（wheat.pw.usda.gov）是一个关于小麦族物种（小麦[Triticum aestivum]、大麦[Hordeum vulgare]、黑麦[Secale cereale]及其野生亲缘种）和燕麦（Avena sativa）及其野生亲缘种的遗传和基因组信息的国际数据库。GrainGenes项目的一个主要优势是管理者与研究界的数据库用户的互动，将GrainGenes作为数据存储库和信息中心。主要集中整理的数据类是遗传和物理图谱，用于作图的探针，经典基因，数量性状基因座，以及小麦和燕麦科学家的联系信息。这些类的管理涉及GrainGenes社区的重要贡献，无论是作为主要数据源还是已发表数据的审查者。其他部分自动化的数据类别包括参考文献、序列和其他数据库的链接。除了GrainGenes数据库本身，该网站还包含其他更具体的数据库、信息主题和可下载文件。例如，适用于小麦族研究的序列的独特BLAST数据集包括映射的小麦表达序列标签、表达序列标签衍生的简单序列重复和重复序列。2004年，GrainGenes项目从AceDB数据库和单独的网站迁移到一个集成的关系数据库和互联网资源，这是数据库交付的一个重大步骤。这种迁移的过程及其对数据库管理和维护的影响进行了描述，并提供了一个关于基因组数据库如何加快研究和作物改良的观点。
GrainGenes (http://wheat.pw.usda.gov) is an international database for genetic and genomic information about Triticeae species (wheat [Triticum aestivum], barley [Hordeum vulgare], rye [Secale cereale], and their wild relatives) and oat (Avena sativa) and its wild relatives. A major strength of the GrainGenes project is the interaction of the curators with database users in the research community, placing GrainGenes as both a data repository and information hub. The primary intensively curated data classes are genetic and physical maps, probes used for mapping, classical genes, quantitative trait loci, and contact information for Triticeae and oat scientists. Curation of these classes involves important contributions from the GrainGenes community, both as primary data sources and reviewers of published data. Other partially automated data classes include literature references, sequences, and links to other databases. Beyond the GrainGenes database per se, the Web site incorporates other more specific databases, informational topics, and downloadable files. For example, unique BLAST datasets of sequences applicable to Triticeae research include mapped wheat expressed sequence tags, expressed sequence tag-derived simple sequence repeats, and repetitive sequences. In 2004, the GrainGenes project migrated from the AceDB database and separate Web site to an integrated relational database and Internet resource, a major step forward in database delivery. The process of this migration and its impacts on database curation and maintenance are described, and a perspective on how a genomic database can expedite research and crop improvement is provided.
