The Olfactory Receptor Database (ORDB) is a WWW-accessible database that
stores data on Olfactory Receptor-like molecules (ORs) and has been open to
the public since June 1996. It contains a public and a private area. The
public area includes published DNA and protein sequence data for ORs, links
to OR models and data on their expression, chromosomal localization and
source organism, as well as (i) links to bibliography through PubMed and
(ii) interactive WWW-based tools, such as BLAST homology searching. The
private area functions as a service to laboratories that are actively
cloning receptors. Source laboratories enter the sequences of the receptor
clones they have characterized to the private database and can search for
identical or near identical OR sequences in both public and private
databases. If another laboratory has cloned and deposited an identical or
closely matching sequence there are means for communication between the
laboratories to help avoid duplication of work. ORDB is available via the
WWW at http://crepe.med.yale.edu/ORDB/HTML
