Abstract:

This information database provides an easy way of accessing the sequences and all-inclusive annotation data on the structures of the cyanobacterial genomes. Cyanobacteria carry a complete set of genes for oxygenic photosynthesis, and are believed to be the ancient ancestors of chloroplast. Maintained by the Kazusa DNA Research Institute, Cyanobase contains information and sequences for Synechocystis, Anabaena, Thermosynechococcus elongatus, Gloeobacter violaceus, Prochlorococcus marinus, Synechococcus, Chlorobium tepidum, and Rhodopseudomonas palustris. It also includes links to CyanoMutants, a database depository of published and unpublished functional and genetic data on Synechocystis 6803 mutants with known mutations, and CyanoGenes.
