The CGSC Database of E.coli
genetic information includes genotypes and reference information for the strains in the CGSC collection, gene names, properties, and linkage map, gene product information, and information on specific mutations. The public version of the database includes this information and is accessible in two forms. The CGSC DB_WebServer (first option, presented above)
provides a fill-in-the-blank form that results in
direct querying of the database. (You may fill in one or more of the blanks. See examples under Help option on query forms.)
A direct login to our Sybase APT forms
frontend (second of the options below)
provides somewhat more powerful, but less convenient,
query capabilities.
The CGSC Collection consists primarily of genetic derivatives of E. coli K-12, the non-pathogenic laboratory strain used in genetic and molecular studies, and includes combinations of 2-29 mutations from among 3500 mutations at more than
1000 different loci.
Requests
for strains or additional information, as well as questions about
the contents or use of the database on the web or information about the
alternative interfaces,
can be addressed to Mary Berlyn and CGSC staff.
The Stock Center and the database
development are supported by the National Science Foundation.
