MaizeGDB: The Maize Model Organism Database for Basic, Translational, and Applied Research
Figure 1
The MaizeGDB home page. The most commonly utilized search
functionality for MaizeGDB is the search bar (A), which is available within the
header of any MaizeGDB page. To browse
data and to search specific data types using specific limiters, the Data
Centers (B) are also quite useful. Also
available is a Bin Viewer (C), which allows for a view of lots of data types
within the context of their chromosomal location. To enable access to the Data Centers
and other displays of interest from any MaizeGDB page, a pull-down menu for
“Useful pages” (D) is accessible on the header of any MaizeGDB page. The footer of all MaizeGDB pages contains a
context-sensitive “feedback form” link (E).
Researchers use the feedback form to report errors, ask questions, and
to contact the MaizeGDB team directly.
For newcomers to the site, the MaizeGDB Tutorial (F) can help them to
get a jump start on how to use the site.
