Population - Population definitions, also previously available for display only, have been broken down into component elements such as race, geographical region, or ethnic group and reconstituted to facilitate creation of new population definitions. Mutations and polymorphisms specific to particular populations can now be retrieved. Mutation - Mutation data will include location, sublocalization within the genes, and comparison of wildtype and mutant nucleotide and amino acid sequences. Cell Line - Definitions can be retrieved independently from their breakpoints. Library - DNA library descriptions will aid researchers in obtaining clones from the GDB contacts.
Confidence limits for localization data are also available.
These conditions are linked to citations, and multiple sets of amplification conditions can be linked to a single set of primers. A list of all linked data for a selected entry is available from the View menu. A query can retrieve any number of entries. If more than 500 entries are retrieved, data are grouped in sets and the user can move between sets. The detail view screens in each of these managers also include these basic fields.
