Studies for database construction for information of experimental organism stocks.

本研究的目的是建立日本主要保存在大学和研究机构的实验生物种群信息数据库，包括动物、植物、微生物和培养细胞。目前，我们已经建立了果蝇种群、小鼠实验种群、小麦遗传实验菌株和大肠杆菌遗传种群的数据库。其中一些以印刷品的形式发表。在这笔资助下，我们编制了蚕和大鼠种群供实验使用。印上“1988年日本蚕实验股”和“日本大学和研究机构维持的大鼠实验股”，分发给有关研究实验室和研究人员。此外，正在编制遗传实验用培养细胞和水稻品系数据库资料，并正在修订果蝇资料。

The purpose of this research is to construct useful databases for the information of experimental organism stocks including animals, plants, microorganisms and cultured cells mainly maintained in the universities and research institutions in Japan. So far, we have compiled the information into databases regarding Drosophila stocks, mouse experimental stocks, wheat strains for genetic experiment, and genetic stocks of E. coli. Some of them were published in a printed materials. Under this grant, we have compiled silkworm and rat stocks for experimental use. They were printed as "Silkworm experimental stocks in Japan 1988" and "Rat experimental stocks maintained in universities and research institutions in Japan" and distributed to relevant research laboratories and researchers. In addition, materials for database concerning cultured cells and rice strains for genetic experiment are under compilation and drosophila information are under revision.
