A brief description of CGD resources & tools, organized by topic. Links to help documentation. Compares and contrasts similar resources.
Common uses of CGD
Information about the various types of gene names/identifiers that are in use. Guidelines for registering a new gene name, as agreed upon by the members of the research community.
Information about the DNA and protein sequences in CGD. How to access sequence information. The source of these sequences and further explanation of some sequence-related issues.
Navigating the genome using the GBrowse Genome Browser. How to view nucleotide and protein sequence in GBrowse.
How to use the BLAST tool
to query sequence similarity in CGD. A detailed
description of the search output is found on the
BLAST Results help
page.
Information about translation tables used
in CGD. Candida albicans and some related
species (often called the "CTG clade") use a non-standard
genetic code, "Translation table 12: Alternative Yeast Nuclear Code," to translate nuclear genes.
How to use the Patmatch tool
to locate DNA or protein sequence patterns in
CGD.
How to use the Webprimer tool
to design primers for PCR or for sequencing.
How to use the Genome
Restriction Analysis tool to compute a restriction map based
on DNA sequence.
How to search and navigate
metabolic pathway information in CGD.

CGD Quick Resource Guide
A pamphlet (
download pdf) that
describes the content and usage of many resources available at
CGD. The guide was developed a few years ago and so it does not include the latest features added to
CGD, but it provides an overview of the basic
functions and types of information available.
