MaizeGDB is the community database for biological information about the crop plant Zea mays. The following datatypes are accessible through this site: genetic, genomic, sequence, gene product, functional characterization, literature reference, and person/organization contact information. It is a USDA/ARS funded project to integrate the data found in MaizeDB and ZmDB into a single schema, develop an effective interface to access this data, and develop additional tools to make data analysis easier. <br />
Much of the data stored at MaizeGDB was inherited from the MaizeDB and ZmDB projects. MaizeGDB's sequence data comes from GenBank. Other data are generally added to the database in bulk by members of the MaizeGDB Team, and are contributed by community members directly.
The goals of the MaizeGDB project are 3-fold: to provide a central repository for public maize information; to present the data through the MaizeGDB Web site in a way that recapitulates biological relationships; and to provide an array of computational tools that address biological questions in an easy-to-use manner at the site. In addition to these primary tasks, MaizeGDB team members also serve the community of maize geneticists by lending technical support for community activities, including the annual Maize Genetics Conference and various workshops, teaching researchers to use both the MaizeGDB Web site and Community Curation Tools, and engaging in collaboration with individual research groups to make their unique data types available through MaizeGDB.
The site includes a large collection of images, contributed by a wide variety of sources. To make finding the image you want easier, the images are broken down into the following groupings: Browse Images By Phenotype, Browse Images of Traits, Browse Images of Pests, Browse Gel Pattern Images, Browse Mutant Images
