Abstract
Publisher Summary Proteome's fungal databases, YPD (for Saccharomyces cerevisiae), PombePD (for Schizosaccharomyces pombe), and CalPD (for Candida albicans), work together to present a comprehensive view of the molecular and cell biology of the genes and proteins of the fungal world. YPD, CalPD, and PombePD are part of a group of databases collectively called the BioKnowledge Library, which also includes databases for complex organisms, such as the worm Caenorhabditis elegans (WormPD), a model for development of a multicellular organism, and a protein survey database for humans. This chapter we provide detailed coverage of the YPD database, which has served as the prototype for the creation of all other volumes of the BioKnowledge Library. The chapter presents the unique features of the newer fungal databases PombePD and CalPD. CalPD is expected to be incorporated into MycoPathPD, a new volume that will include genes and proteins of C. albicans and other human pathogenic fungi. YPD is recommended as a good initiation site for newcomers.
