CGDB: Circadian Gene DataBase

General Information

  1. CGDB: Circadian Gene DataBase
  2. This is a circadian gene database.
    1. The database includes circadian gene DNA and protein sequences, model organisms specific to each circadian gene, clear descriptions of the circadian gene functions, and circadian gene tags specific to this database and other databases (http://cgdb.biocuckoo.org/view.php?id=021036).
    2. Circadian Gene DataBase is a secondary source of data.
  3. The Cuckoo Workgroup Maintains the database.
  4. This organization is funded by:
