Announcing the availability of the Plant Genome Database CD-ROM, a
compilation of plant genome databases, which have been dumped as text from
their ACEDB versions and marked up with hypertext links. The data are
browsable from the Sun UNIX X-Windows, PC Windows, and Mac Mosaic hypertext
browsers. In addition, the genome data have been indexed to allow full-text
Boolean searching for Mac, Sun, Windows, and DOS. Where images exist, they
have been linked to their respective databases. Databases include information
on: Arabidopsis, soybean, Chlamydomonas, small grains (wheat, barley, etc.),
maize, rice, tomato, potato, pepper, and forest trees.
Also included, are various related documents: newsletters for Arabidopsis
(Weeds World), forest trees (Dendrome), rice (The Rice Genetics Newsletter),
and tomato (Report of the Tomato Genetic Cooperative); plant genome thesauri
for cytogenetics, morphology, and references; a controlled genetic vocabulary;
and a listing of the Agricultural Genome curators.
The CD-ROM can be obtained by sending e-mail to the Plant Genome Data and
Information Center:
