context_page_description: PomBase is a model organism database that provides online access to the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe genome sequence and annotated features, together with a wide range of manually curated functional gene-specific data. The PomBase website was redeveloped in 2016 to provide users with a more fully integrated, better-performing service.
context_section_description: PomBase staff manually curate a wide variety of data using primary literature and bioinformatics. Types of data curated include:
  Genome sequence and features (e.g. physical location of genes in the genome)
  Protein and ncRNA functions, the cellular processes they participate in and where they localize
  Phenotypes associated with different alleles and genotypes
  Specific protein modification sites and when they occur
  Human and budding yeast orthologs of S. pombe genes (manually curated dataset)
  Metadata of datasets loaded into the genome browser
  Disease associations for when the human ortholog is known to cause disease
  Data regarding when specific genes are expressed
  Complementation data for where there is functional complementation between a fission yeast gene and a gene from another organism
  Subunit composition of complexes
