GermOnline is a web-accessible relational database that enables life scientists to make a significant and sustained contribution to the annotation of genes relevant for the fields of mitosis, meiosis, germ line development and gametogenesis across species. This novel approach to genome annotation includes a platform for knowledge submission and curation as well as microarray data storage and visualization hosted by a global network of servers.
The database is accessible at http://www.germonline.org/. For convenient world-wide access we have set up a network of servers in Europe (http://germonline.unibas.ch/; http://germonline.igh.cnrs.fr/), Japan (http://germonline.biochem.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp/) and USA (http://germonline.yeastgenome.org/).
Extended documentation of the database is available through the link 'About GermOnline' at the websites.
GermOnline是一个可通过网络访问的关系数据库，它使生命科学家能够为跨物种的有丝分裂、减数分裂、生殖系发育和配子发生领域相关基因的注释做出重大且持续的贡献。这种新颖的基因组注释方法包括一个知识提交和管理平台，以及由全球服务器网络托管的微阵列数据存储和可视化平台。
