The value of the Genome Database (GDB) for the human genome research community has been greatly increased since the release of version 6. 0 last year. Thanks to the introduction of significant technical improvements, GDB has seen dramatic growth in the type and volume of information stored in the database. This article summarizes the types of data that are now available in the Genome Database, demonstrates how the database is interconnected with other biomedical resources on the World Wide Web, discusses how researchers can contribute new or updated information to the database, and describes our current efforts as well as planned improvements for the future.
自去年发布6.0版本以来,基因组数据库(GDB)对人类基因组研究群体的价值大幅提升。由于引入了重大的技术改进,GDB在数据库中存储的信息类型和数量方面都有了显著增长。本文总结了基因组数据库中目前可用的数据类型,展示了该数据库如何与万维网上的其他生物医学资源相互连接,讨论了研究人员如何为数据库贡献新的或更新的信息,并描述了我们目前的工作以及未来计划的改进措施。
