Genomic Database for the Yeast Saccharomyces

描述（由申请人提供）：Saccharomyces Genome Database （SGD）的目标是继续设计、开发和实现一个包含有关出芽酵母（Saccharomyces cerevisiae）基因组的全面注释信息的数据库。SGD将继续对基因组进行注释，吸收新的数据，包括来自其他真菌物种的基因组信息，并结合形式化和受控的词汇表来表示生物学概念。我们将继续保持和扩大与更大的科学界的关系，并进行技术改进，使我们能够更好地为用户服务。该数据库及其相关资源将始终通过万维网向公众开放

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of the Saccharomyces Genome Database (SGD) is to continue the design, development, and implementation of a database containing comprehensive annotated information about the genome of the budding yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. SGD will continue to annotate the genome, assimilate new data, include genomic information from other fungal species, and incorporate formalized and controlled vocabularies to represent biological concepts. We will continue to maintain and broaden relationships with the greater scientific community and make technical improvements that will allow us to better serve our users. The database and its associated resources will always remain publicly available via the World Wide SGD will continue to provide annotation and analysis of the S. cerevisiae genome and gene products culled from the published literature. New user interfaces and analysis resources will be developed for existing information as well as for new types of data, such as results from large scale genomic/proteomic analysis. These improvements will be developed using publicly available tools such as those available from the GMOD project. Query tools will be more enhanced as new controlled vocabularies such as phenotype ontology are associated with annotate genes in SGD. SGD has evolved into a substantial service organization, and will maintain its service to the scientific community, reaching out to all yeast researchers as well as scientists outside the fungal community to serve those who have a need for information about budding yeast genes, their products, and their functions. SGD will continue existing services while working to simplify the use and maintenance of our hardware and software environment through the application of new technologies. We will continue to collaborate with the yeast biology community to keep the database accurate and current, and to maintain consensus and order in the naming of genes and other genetic elements.
