Genetic and Genomic Data Portals
- JGI Portal - Joint Genome Institute PortalJGI provides genome sequencing, genome data acquisition, and genome analyses in support of the Department of Energy's mission needs in bioenergy, carbon cycling and biosequestration, and biogeochemical processes. The portal allows researchers access to these data and project management tools.
- SGD - Saccharomyces Genome DatabaseProvides comprehensive integrated biological information for the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae along with search and analysis tools to explore these data, enabling the discovery of functional relationships between sequence and gene products in fungi and higher organisms.
- TAIR : The Arabidopsis Information Resource This link opens in a new windowGenetic and molecular biology data for the model higher plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Data includes the complete genome sequence along with gene structure, gene product information, gene expression, DNA and seed stocks, genome maps, genetic and physical markers, publications, and information about the Arabidopsis research community.Available on campus to all, or off-campus to UMass Amherst students, staff and faculty with an UMass Amherst IT NetID (user name) and password.
- FlyBaseFlyBase can be searched for genes, alleles, aberrations and other genetic objects, phenotypes, sequences, stocks, images and movies, controlled terms, and Drosophila researchers.
- WormBaseAn international consortium of biologists and computer scientists providing the research community with accurate, current, accessible information concerning the genetics, genomics and biology of C. elegans and related nematodes.
- MGI - Mouse Genome InformaticsThe international database resource for the laboratory mouse, providing integrated genetic, genomic, and biological data to facilitate the study of human health and disease.
- OMIM - Online Mendelian Inheritance in ManThe full-text, referenced overviews in OMIM contain information on all known mendelian disorders and over 15,000 genes. OMIM focuses on the relationship between phenotype and genotype. It is updated daily, and the entries contain copious links to other genetics resources.
- Entrez NucleotideGenome, gene and transcript sequence data from several sources, including GenBank, RefSeq, TPA and PDB.Entrez Nucleotide is one of many NCBI research tools. Explore the full list.
