The integrated X chromosome database (IXDB) is a repository for physical
mapping data of the human X chromosome. Its current content is the result
of a strict integration of data stemming from many different sources. The
main features of IXDB include a flexible and extendible schema, a
comfortable and fully cross-referenced WWW interface
(http://ixdb.mpimg-berlin-dahlem.mpg.de ) and a graphical map viewer
implemented in JAVA. The database stores objects used in physical mapping
as well as the maps resulting from this work, but a strong emphasis is
placed on recording experiments that connect objects together. This should
greatly contribute to fulfilling one of the major goals of the database: to
support the construction of an integrated physical, genetic, transcript and
sequence map of the human X chromosome.
