CGD -- The Candida Genome Database

URL:

http://www.candidagenome.org/

What you can do:

Search for genomic information about the opportunistic fungal pathogen Candida albicans.

Highlights:

The Candida Genome Database provides online access to genomic sequence data and manually curated functional information about genes and proteins of the human pathogen Candida albicans.
The scientific literature is combed to collect all C. albicans gene names and aliases; to assign gene ontology terms that describe the molecular function, biological process, and subcellular localization of each gene product; to annotate mutant phenotypes; and to summarize the function and biological context of each gene product in free-text description lines.
CGD also provides community resources, including a reservation system for gene names and a colleague registry through which Candida researchers can share contact information and research interests.
Two recently added features are: Candida Biochemical Pathways and the Textpresso full-text literature search tool.
The Biochemical Pathways tool provides visualization of metabolic pathways and analysis tools that facilitate interpretation of experimental data, including results of large-scale experiments, in the context of Candida metabolism.
Textpresso for Candida allows searching through the full-text of Candida-specific literature, including clinical and epidemiological studies.
