New tools at the Candida Genome Database: biochemical pathways and full-text literature search

Nucleic Acids Res. 2010 Jan;38(Database issue):D428-32. doi: 10.1093/nar/gkp836. Epub 2009 Oct 6.

Abstract

The Candida Genome Database (CGD, http://www.candidagenome.org/) provides online access to genomic sequence data and manually curated functional information about genes and proteins of the human pathogen Candida albicans. Herein, we describe two recently added features, Candida Biochemical Pathways and the Textpresso full-text literature search tool. The Biochemical Pathways tool provides visualization of metabolic pathways and analysis tools that facilitate interpretation of experimental data, including results of large-scale experiments, in the context of Candida metabolism. Textpresso for Candida allows searching through the full-text of Candida-specific literature, including clinical and epidemiological studies.
