NodMutDB: a database for genes and mutants involved in symbiosis

Bioinformatics. 2005 Jun 15;21(12):2927-9. doi: 10.1093/bioinformatics/bti427. Epub 2005 Apr 7.

Abstract

Functional genomics research is producing large amounts of data on the functions of individual genes related to symbiosis. We have developed a relational database, NodMutDB (Nodulation Mutant Database), to provide a comprehensive resource for depositing, organizing and retrieving information on symbiosis-related genes, mutants and published literature. NodMutDB brings together new studies and existing mutant-based literature to facilitate our understanding of how genes function in symbiotic processes in both Rhizobia and their host plants.
