ChromDB: The Plant Chromatin Database: The mission of ChromDB is to bring together information on homologs of chromatin-associated proteins encoded by plant genomes, organize this information logically and in a comparative manner across species (with reference to other eukaryotes to the extent possible), and make it readily accessible to any members of the research and teaching communities who might be interested in the role played by chromatin proteins in the control of gene expression and genome organization. Our first priority is to provide (a) complete sets of genes encoding chromatin-associated proteins (CAPs) for those plant species with complete or near-complete genome sequences (currently Arabidopsis and rice, with poplar to be displayed in the future), (b) the best available splicing models and predicted protein sequences for these genes, and (c) a molecular phylogenetic context for understanding the evolutionary diversification of these protein families during plant evolution with reference to animal and fungal homologs. Our next priorities will be to identify and present CAP genes in all available EST and partial genomic sequences of other plant species, as well as to provide information regarding their biochemical, developmental, physiological, and cellular functions through a community annotation mechanism.
