ST NetWatch: Model Organisms

[Arabidopsis:] The Arabidopsis Information Resource (TAIR) View <i>[Arabidopsis:]</i> The Arabidopsis Information Resource (TAIR) Save to My Folders
By the Carnegie Institution of Washington Department of Plant Biology and the National Center for Genome Resources (NCGR), TAIR covers sequencing initiatives, the Arabidopsis database, maps, stocks, protocols, nomenclature, meetings, microarray data and more. This site succeeds the Arabidopsis thaliana Database Project (AtDB). Parts of the site were updated in July 2001.

[Caenorhabditis]: WormBase View <i>[Caenorhabditis]</i>: WormBase Save to My Folders
To get genetic maps, information about mutant phenotypes, and sequence information from C. Elegans, WormBase is the place to go. "WormBase is an international consortium of biologists and computer scientists dedicated to providing the research community with accurate, current, accessible information concerning the genetics, genomics and biology of C. elegans and some related nematodes." The site is updated every few weeks.

[Dictyostelium]: dictyBase View <i>[Dictyostelium]</i>: dictyBase Save to My Folders
dictyBase is an integrated genetic and literature database that contains published Dictyostelium discoideum literature, genes, expressed sequence tags (ESTs), as well as the chromosomal and mitochondrial genome sequences. Direct access to the genome browser, a Blast search tool, the Dictyostelium Stock Center, research tools, colleague databases, and much much more are just a mouse click away. dictyBase is funded by a grant from the National Institute for General Medical Sciences.

[Drosophila:] The Interactive Fly View <i>[Drosophila:]</i> The Interactive Fly Save to My Folders
This site provides continuously updated information relating to Drosopila genes and their roles in development. The information is well-organized and cross-referenced to FlyBase. Other useful components of the site are images of developing Drosophila and detailed descriptions for most of the genes in the database.

[Drosophila]: FlyBase View <i>[Drosophila]:</i> FlyBase Save to My Folders
According to Groucho, "Time flies like an arrow, and fruit flies like a banana." This may be the only Drosophila-related information you won't find at FlyBase -- the premiere effort to create and maintain an exhaustive, curated model organism database. Maps, genes, transposons, aberrations, stocks, references, people and more -- its all here. If some other organism is your bread-and-butter, you may be wondering why your discipline can't have a similar tool. FlyBase's rumored multi-million dollar per year price tag may suggest one reason.

[Rat:] Rat Genome Database (RGD) View <i>[Rat:]</i> Rat Genome Database (RGD) Save to My Folders
Spearheaded by the Medical College of Wisconsin, RGD is both a repository of information and a community forum. In addition to the searchable databases of gene maps, ESTs (expressed sequence tags), QTLs (quantitative trait loci), SSLPs (simple sequence length polymorphisms), sequences, and strains, the RGD also includes several analytical tools, including ones to detect homologous segments in the rat, mouse, and human genomes, to predict gene features in sequences, and to query the Allele Characterization Project dataset to display polymorphic markers. Be sure to check out the Rat Forum and the Pied Piper newsletter while you are there.

[Saccharomyces cerevisiae]: Saccharomyces Genome Database View <i>[Saccharomyces cerevisiae]</i>: Saccharomyces </i>Genome Database Save to My Folders
SGD is a scientific database of the molecular biology and genetics of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The site offers many useful tools for finding information, especially the new SGD Resource Guide. Genetic information is available as maps, alignments, a table of every yeast gene with a plainly written description, microarray data sets (many of which relate to changes in gene expression in response to stimuli that activate signal transduction cascades). Protein analysis tools include alignment searching, searching functional analysis data projects, and homolog searching.

[Saccharomyces cerevisiae]: Yeast Resource Center View <i>[Saccharomyces cerevisiae]</i>: Yeast Resource Center Save to My Folders
The Yeast Resource Center site provides information to help researchers identify and characterize protein complexes in yeast. Tutorials on advanced technologies, such as mass spectrometry, yeast two-hybrid arrays, protein structure prediction, and deconvolution fluorescence microscopy, are accompanied by movies and protocols. A list of publications generated in collaboration with the Yeast Resource Center, an NCRR Biomedical Technology Resource Center, is available at the site, as is access to the Yeast Resource Center Public Data Repository, which provides data resulting from collaborations investigating Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
