Xenbase (www.xenbase.org), the model organism database for Xenopus laevis and X. (Silurana) tropicalis, is the principal centralized resource of genomic, development data and community information for Xenopus research. Recent improvements include the addition of the literature and interaction tabs to gene catalog pages. New content has been added including a section on gene expression patterns that incorporates image data from the literature, large scale screens and community submissions. Gene expression data are integrated into the gene catalog via an expression tab and is also searchable by multiple criteria using an expression search interface. The gene catalog has grown to contain over 15,000 genes. Collaboration with the European Xenopus Research Center (EXRC) has resulted in a stock center section with data on frog lines supplied by the EXRC. Numerous improvements have also been made to search and navigation. Xenbase is also the source of the Xenopus Anatomical Ontology and the clearinghouse for Xenopus gene nomenclature.
Xenbase(www.xenbase.org)是非洲爪蟾和爪蟾属(Silurana)热带爪蟾的模式生物数据库,是研究非洲爪蟾的基因组、发育数据和社区信息的主要集中资源。最近的改进包括在基因目录页面上添加了文献和交互选项卡。新内容包括一个关于基因表达模式的部分,该部分整合了文献中的图像数据、大规模筛选和社区提交的数据。基因表达数据通过表达选项卡集成到基因目录中,也可以通过表达搜索界面使用多个标准进行搜索。基因目录已经增长到包含超过 15000 个基因。与欧洲非洲爪蟾研究中心(EXRC)的合作在库存中心部分提供了由 EXRC 提供的蛙系数据。搜索和导航也进行了许多改进。Xenbase 还是 Xenopus 解剖学本体论的来源,也是 Xenopus 基因命名法的交换所。
