Project links

• SGD: as the "SGD Princeton Colony" we collaborate closely with the SGD group at Stanford University and contribute to the larger SGD project, focusing in particular on the collection, annotation, and display of functional genomics data sets.
• SGD Lite: we built a lightweight version of SGD, called SGD Lite, to provide SGD in a freely available database system (PostgreSQL) using a generic genome database schema (GMOD). We are also in the process of collecting and annotating all publicly available functional genomics data sets; these are available for viewing, sorting, and downloading.
• BioPIXIE: we collaborated with Olga Troyanskaya's lab to develop a functional genomics data integration and visualization database, a tool for discovery of interaction networks and pathways.
• BioGRID: we are collaborating with Mike Tyers' group at the Samuel Lunenfeld Research Institute, Mount Sinal Hospital, University of Toronto on an effort to curate all available interactions from the yeast literature.
• Comparative Genomics Tool: in development
