Pathogen Sequencing Unit (http//www.sanger.ac.uk/
Projects/)
The Pathogen Group is funded to sequence the
genomes of a wide range of prokaryotic and
eukaryotic organisms
Yeasts and Fungi Schizosaccharomyces
pombe Aspergillus fumigatus Pneumocystis carinii
Bacteria M. tuberculosis M. leprae Y. pestis S.
typhi C. diphtheria B. pseudomallei
Protozoa Plasmodium falciparum Leishmania Trypano
soma Eimeria Theileria

GeneDB (http//www.genedb.org/)

• houses data from finished and ongoing
• prokaryotic and eukaryotic genome projects
• provides an intuitive user interface, allowing
• rapid data access and visualisation
• integrates sequence and annotation with
• diverse biological datasets

• Curation within GeneDB
• 1 curator per organism/related species
• maintenance of sequence data / annotation
• of multi-centre of often unfinished projects
• integration of information extracted from
• literature, public databases, community
• feedback using structured syntax/vocabulary
• nomenclature
