9807881Project involves development and implementation phases of a biological database for Peromyscus (deer mice and allied species). Mice of the genus Peromyscus are extremely abundant throughout North America and are widely used in pure and applied research. Research areas in which Peromyscus is commonly used includes ecology, genetics, systematics, evolution, behavior, physiology, metabolism, parasitology, epidemiology, and toxicology. Currently, there is no comprehensive database for this significant group of organisms, although more than 3500 journal articles have been published and several hundred investigators currently use Peromyscus in their research. The database envisioned, although including genetics, is expected to contain a broad range of information concerning many aspects of the biology of these rodents. This database, therefore, will differ substantially from the several mammalian genomic databases currently available. During the period 1998-2001 we intend to fully develop and have on-line three components: Systematics and Evolution, Genetics, and Neurobiology and Behavior. Additionally, a comprehensive bibliography for the genus will be accessible. The long-range objective is to have about eight or nine topical components of the database up to date and readily accessible on the internet within five years. After five years the database will be maintained independently of NSF database program support.

9807881项目涉及Peromyscus（鹿鼠和近似物种）生物数据库的开发和实施阶段。鼠属的小鼠在整个北美非常丰富，并广泛用于纯和应用研究。Peromyscus通常用于的研究领域包括生态学，遗传学，系统学，进化，行为，生理学，代谢，寄生虫学，流行病学和毒理学。目前，还没有关于这一重要生物群体的综合数据库，尽管已经发表了3500多篇期刊文章，数百名研究人员目前在他们的研究中使用Peromyscus。设想的数据库虽然包括遗传学，但预计将包含有关这些啮齿动物生物学许多方面的广泛信息。因此，该数据库将与目前可用的几个哺乳动物基因组数据库有很大不同。在1998年至2001年期间，我们打算充分发展和联机三个组成部分：系统学和进化，遗传学，神经生物学和行为。此外，一个全面的书目属将访问。长期目标是在五年内更新数据库中大约八、九个专题组成部分，并使之易于在互联网上查阅。五年后，数据库将独立于NSF数据库程序支持进行维护。
