Genome Information Broker (GIB) is a powerful tool for the study of comparative genomics. GIB allows users to retrieve and display partial and/or whole genome sequences together with the relevant biological annotation. GIB has accumulated all the completed microbial genome and has recently been expanded to include Arabidopsis thaliana genome data from DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank. In the near future, hundreds of genome sequences will be determined. In order to handle such huge data, we have enhanced the GIB architecture by using XML, CORBA and distributed RDBs. We introduce the new GIB here. GIB is freely accessible at http://gib.genes.nig.ac.jp/.
基因组信息库（GIB）是用于比较基因组学研究的强大工具。GIB允许用户检索并显示部分和/或完整的基因组序列以及相关的生物学注释。GIB已积累了所有已完成的微生物基因组，并且最近已扩展到包括来自DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank的拟南芥基因组数据。在不久的将来，将确定数百个基因组序列。为了处理如此庞大的数据，我们通过使用XML、CORBA和分布式关系数据库增强了GIB架构。我们在此介绍新的GIB。可通过http://gib.genes.nig.ac.jp/免费访问GIB。
