Abstract
The Saccharomyces Genome Database (SGD) provides Internet access to the complete Saccharomyces
cerevisiae genomic sequence, its genes and their products, the phenotypes of its mutants,
and the literature supporting these data. The amount of information and the number
of features provided by SGD have increased greatly following the release of the S.cerevisiae
genomic sequence, which is currently the only complete sequence of a eukaryotic genome.
SGD aids researchers by providing not only basic information, but also tools such
as sequence similarity searching that lead to detailed information about features
of the genome and relationships between genes. SGD presents information using a variety
of user-friendly, dynamically created graphical displays illustrating physical, genetic
and sequence feature maps. SGD can be accessed via the World Wide Web at http://genome-www.stanford.edu/Saccharomyces/
