We are deeply saddened to share the news of the passing of David Botstein, a towering figure in modern genetics and a foundational force behind the Saccharomyces Genome Database (SGD). SGD began in the early 1990s in David’s lab at Stanford University, and his vision for a rigorously curated, community-centered resource set the course for […]
Read MoreWe’re excited to announce the launch of a new BLAST service for Saccharomyces Genome Database (SGD) data, now available at the Alliance of Genome Resources. This release marks another significant milestone in our ongoing effort to migrate SGD services and data to the Alliance platform, ensuring continued access to essential yeast genomics tools within an […]

Read MoreYeastPathways, the database of metabolic pathways and enzymes in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is manually curated and maintained by the biocuration team at SGD. This resource is jam-packed with information, but somewhat hidden from view. We have been doing different things recently to make the pathways more readily accessible. Some time ago we added a […]
