The Arabidopsis Information Resource (TAIR) is a highly sophisticated, extensive, user friendly, Web-based resource for researchers working on the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. The main gateway to this resource is through TAIR's homepage http://www.arabidopsis.org. It is a repository of large amounts of data including gene, mapping, protein, expression and community data in the form of a relational database. These data can be searched, downloaded and analysed using the tools provided. Here, the simple search (for retrieval of information), Seq Viewer (for the visualization of the five Arabidopsis chromosomes and associated annotations) and AraCyc (database of Arabidopsis biochemical pathways, with a graphical overview onto which large data sets, such as gene expression data, can be overlaid) tools are described with examples.
拟南芥信息资源库（TAIR）是一个高度精密、内容丰富、用户友好的基于网络的资源库，供研究模式植物拟南芥的科研人员使用。访问该资源库的主要入口是TAIR的主页http://www.arabidopsis.org。它以关系数据库的形式存储了大量数据，包括基因、图谱、蛋白质、表达及群体数据。这些数据可使用所提供的工具进行搜索、下载和分析。在此，将通过示例介绍简单搜索（用于信息检索）、序列查看器（用于可视化五条拟南芥染色体及相关注释）和AraCyc（拟南芥生化途径数据库，带有可叠加基因表达数据等大型数据集的图形概述）工具。
