STM publisher Elsevier, Netherlands, and The Arabidopsis Information Resource (TAIR) have announced their next step in interconnecting the diverse elements of scientific research.
All articles on Elsevier's electronic platform SciVerse ScienceDirect that describe Arabidopsis genes and use AGI codes will now link to the corresponding pages at TAIR, giving readers access to additional relevant genetic and molecular biology data. Research data deposited at TAIR will link to their corresponding articles in Elsevier journals on SciVerse ScienceDirect.
Aiming at supporting the plant science community, Elsevier encourages authors to submit manuscripts to relevant journals to deposit Arabidopsis gene-related information in the TAIR database. Upon acceptance of their manuscripts, authors can use TAIR's online submission software to deposit relevant information about the Arabidopsis gene(s) described in their papers.
TAIR maintains a database of genetic and molecular biology data for the model higher plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Data available from TAIR includes the complete genome sequence along with gene structure, gene product information, metabolism, gene expression, DNA and seed stocks, genome maps, genetic and physical markers, publications, and information about the Arabidopsis research community. Gene product function data is updated every week from the latest published research literature and community data submissions. Gene structures are updated about once a year using computational and manual methods as well as community submissions of new and updated genes. TAIR also provides extensive links from its data pages to other Arabidopsis resources.
