Data analysis, presentation and distribution is of utmost importance to a
genome project. A public domain software, ACeDB, has been chosen as the
common basis for parasite genome databases, and a first release of
TcruziDB, the Trypanosoma cruzi genome database, is available by ftp from
TcruziDB as well as versions of the software for different operating
systems. Moreover, data originated from the project are available from the
WWW server. It contains biological and parasitological data on CL Brener,
its karyotype, all available T. cruzi sequences from Genbank, data on the
EST-sequencing project and on available libraries, a T. cruzi codon table
and a listing of activities and participating groups in the genome project,
as well as meeting reports. T. cruzi discussion lists are being maintained
for communication and to promote collaboration in the genome project.
