Project Number: 1907-21000-013-01
Project Type: Specific C/A

Start Date: Sep 15, 2000
End Date: Sep 14, 2005

Objective:
The objective of this project is to assemble, document and package a portable suite of database technology, user interfaces and ancillary software for the management and presentation of ARS plant databases.

Approach:
ARS genome databases will be evaluated with respect to current technical status and future needs with particular focus on the impact of high-throughput genomic data. A migration path for existing databases will be designed and implemented to allow use of other database systems, including relational ones. The package will include a distributed system for viewing and managing genome annotations, with the focus on the integration of genetic and physical mapping data with gene predictions and EST-based expression data. The system will be generic to permit its use with data from a wide variety of species, including animals and microbes.
