During 1998 the primary focus of the Genome Sequence DataBase (GSDB;
http://www.ncgr.org/gsdb ) located at the National Center for Genome
Resources (NCGR) has been to improve data quality, improve data
collections, and provide new methods and tools to access and analyze data.
Data quality has been improved by extensive curation of certain data fields
necessary for maintaining data collections and for using certain tools.
Data quality has also been increased by improvements to the suite of
programs that import data from the International Nucleotide Sequence
Database Collaboration (IC). The Sequence Tag Alignment and Consensus
Knowledgebase (STACK), a database of human expressed gene sequences
developed by the South African National Bioinformatics Institute (SANBI),
became available within the last year, allowing public access to this
valuable resource of expressed sequences. Data access was improved by the
addition of the Sequence Viewer, a platform-independent graphical viewer
for GSDB sequence data. This tool has also been integrated with other
searching and data retrieval tools. A BLAST homology search service was
also made available, allowing researchers to search all of the data,
including the unique data, that are available from GSDB. These improvements
are designed to make GSDB more accessible to users, extend the rich
searching capability already present in GSDB, and to facilitate the
transition to an integrated system containing many different types of
biological data.
