Kurzfassung:
The GABI Primary Database, GabiPD, was established eight years ago in the frame of the German initiative for Genome Analysis of the Plant Biological System (Genomanalyse im biologischen System Pflanze, GABI), funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education, Research and Technology (BMBF) as well as a number of private enterprise companies. The main goal of GabiPD is to collect, integrate, visualize and link primary information from GABI projects. GabiPD, in contrast to other plant databases constitutes a repository and analysis platform for a wide array of heterogeneous data arising from high-throughput experiments in several plant species. Currently, data from different 'omics' fronts are incorporated in GabiPD (i.e., genomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics, proteomics), originating from 14 different model or crop species. We have developed the concept of GreenCards for text based retrieval of all data types in GabiPD (e.g., clones, genes, mutant plant lines, markers). All data types are pointing to the central Gene’s GreenCard, where gene information is integrated from genome annotation projects. Within the Gene’s GreenCards links to all GabiPD data related to the corresponding genes as well as cross references to large UniGene sets from NCBI and to useful gene-based external data bases are displayed. A collection of ~400000 ESTs from different species, generated in different GABI projects, is made publicly available though GabiPD. These ESTs have been cross referenced to UniGene sets from NCBI and to sequences from different plant genome projects, in an effort to ease the transfer of functional information. The centralized Gene's GreenCard also allows visualizing ESTs aligned to annotated transcripts as well as identified protein domains and gene structure. Moreover GabiPD makes available interactive genetic maps from Solanum tuberosum (potato) and Hordeum vulgare (barley). Gene expression data in GabiPD can be visualized through MapManWeb, the web interface of MapMan. Access to the data in GabiPD is provided via either the web interface (http://www.gabipd.org) or webservices that are currently available for Arabidopsis-related information. GabiPD was accessed by more than 30000 unique visitors last year from around the world.
