Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: MaizeDB provides free, up-to-the-minute Internet access to information about the maize genome and contains over 100,000 text records that include 3000 mapped genes and gene candidates. Genetic loci may be linked within MaizeDB to information about 2400 DNA probes; 19800 variations; 240 maps; 3000 raw map data entries; 800 gene products; 370 traits; 1980 genetic/cytogenetic stocks; 4600 elite stock pedigrees; addresses of 2771 research workers where some 540 have e-mail; and 7100 bibliographic references. In addition, individual MaizeDB records are linked to some 18 external databases on the World Wide Web, for seamless retrieval of nucleotide and protein sequences, and motifs; germplasm records at GRIN; and information about related genes or sequences by clicking on the EC# for an enzyme or on the related locus name. Mappers using reference mapping populations for a single probe may bypass MapMaker by a simple 'pasting' routing. Various routes to the data are provided. If you are using your own Web or gopher software, connect to http://www.agron.missouri.edu/ or gopher.agron.missouri.edu. You may also connect from any computer with a connection to the Internet including by MODEM: telnet to teosinte.agron.missouri.edu, login as "guest" and use the password "corncob" for Web, gopher, or direct access to relational query forms.
