11 th European Conference on Fungal Genetics

Abstract:

The Aspergillus and Candida Genome Databases (AspGD, http://www.aspgd.org and CGD,
http://www.candidagenome.org/) are freely available, web8208;based resources for researchers studying the
molecular biology of these fungi. The interfaces and navigation functionality of both web sites and databases are
recently upgraded, providing streamlined, ortholog8208;based navigation of the annotation for multiple species
concurrently. We have now completed manual curation of the entire published literature about multiple species,
including A. nidulans, A. fumigatus, A. oryzae, C. albicans, and C. glabrata. We also provide resources to foster
interaction and dissemination of community information, tools, and data. We collect and provide large8208;scale
datasets with a full8208;featured genomics viewer to facilitate comparative genomics analysis. AspGD is funded by
grant R01 AI077599 from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and CGD is funded by R01
DE015873 from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research at the US National Institutes of Health.
We welcome, encourage, and appreciate your questions or suggestions, and AspGD and CGD curators can be
reached at aspergillus8208;curator@lists.stanford.edu and candida8208;curator@lists.stanford.edu, respectively.
