The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) is a national resource that provides automated systems for storing and analyzing information about molecular biology, biochemistry, and genetics. The most widely used interface for the retrieval of information from biological databases is the Entrez system which include nucleotide sequences, protein sequences, macromolecular structures, whole genomes, and MEDLINE, through PubMed. The Genome section of Entrez encompasses over 1,000 records. These include both those genomes completely sequenced and those genomes for which sequencing is in progress.
Plant Genomes Central (PGC) provides access to large-scale plant genomic and EST sequencing data, with links to corresponding taxonomic information. The Multiple genome search page performs text searches of the plant genomes and genetic maps displayed. The plant genome BLAST databases are locally collected subsets of GenBank accessions which are associated with the loci of the available maps. The BLAST result includes the opportunity for Map Viewer to display the BLAST hits in the context of other chromosomal landmarks. The PGC sections of ‘Large-scale sequencing projects’ and ‘Genetic maps’ include the organisms which have maps displayed by Map Viewer. The plants currently represented in this group are: Arabidopsis thaliana, Lycopersicon esculentum (tomato), Oryza sativa (rice), Glycine max (soybean) , Avena sativa (oat), Hordeum vulgare (barley), Zea mays (corn), and Triticum aestivum (bread wheat). These pages keep evolving as more data becomes available. Lotus japonicus, Medicago truncatula, Medicago sativa, Populus spp. (Poplar) and Sorghum are currently under construction.
