What species are covered in the database?
Is the database content useful? I.e., what biological questions can it be used to answer?
Is the database content timely?
Is there a need in the scientific community for such a database at this time? Is the content covered by other databases already? When did the database first go online? How often is the database updated? When was the last update?
General utility of the database to the scientific community
Are there links to other databases? Which ones?
- Yes:
Is it convenient to browse the data?
- This website is very organized with their data giving titles to each animal subject they have on trait mapping. Each title links to a page where a summary of the animals current data numbers are held, data can be downloaded easily (in a variety of formats) and search/browse tools are suggested to make data easily readable.

- On UMD_3.1 in BED format
- On Btau_4.6 in GFF3 format
- On Btau_4.6 in SAM format
- On Btau_4.6 in BED format
- This database included non-standard formats, as appose to PDF, DOC, or etc. standard formats.
