MaizeGDB is the community database for biological information about the crop plant Zea mays. Genetic, genomic, sequence, gene product, functional characterization, literature reference, and person/organization contact information are among the data types stored at MaizeGDB. At the project's website (http://www.maizegdb.org) are standardized custom interfaces enabling researchers to browse data and to seek out specific information matching explicit search criteria. In addition, pre-compiled reports are made available for particular types of data, and bulletin boards are provided to facilitate communication and coordination among members of the community of maize geneticists.
玉米基因数据库（MaizeGDB）是关于农作物玉米的生物信息的社区数据库。遗传、基因组、序列、基因产物、功能特征、文献参考以及个人/组织联系信息等都是存储在玉米基因数据库中的数据类型。在该项目的网站（http://www.maizegdb.org）上有标准化的定制界面，使研究人员能够浏览数据并查找符合明确搜索标准的特定信息。此外，还提供了针对特定类型数据的预编译报告，并设有公告栏以促进玉米遗传学家群体成员之间的交流与协调。
