ZmGDB is being developed as a part of our NSF-funded project
"PlantGDB - Plant Genome Database and Analysis Tools"
(PI: Volker Brendel).
The purpose of this resource is to provide a convenient sequence-centered genome view for Zea mays, with a narrow focus on gene structure annotation.
Our view of the maize genome is currently emerging (click here to view the latest maize sequence count).
ZmGDB provides a scaled view of the maize gene space by continuously mapping the ESTs and PUTs onto the GSS Contigs and
all three of these sequence types onto maize genomic BACs.
As the genome gets assembled, contig and pseudochromosome views will become available, too.
Please let us know what you like and don't like about ZmGDB.
