Welcome to MaizeGDB!
MaizeGDB is the community database for biological information about the crop plant Zea mays ssp. mays. The following datatypes are accessible through this site: genetic, genomic, sequence, gene product, functional characterization, literature reference, and person/organization contact information. MaizeGDB's areas of concentration for the next five years are described on this page.
Maize Genome Sequencing
For more information, please visit our sequence resource page.
Be on Top of Recent Advances! 
Check here for Hot Papers! The MaizeGDB Editorial Board recommends noteworthy primary literature of interest to maize researchers that is appropriate for use by journal clubs on a monthly basis. The inaugural board was convened in 2005 by Virginia Walbot. The 2010 members are: Patrick J. Brown, Erik Vollbrecht, Paula McSteen, Nick Lauter, and Mario Arteaga-Vazquez.
Add Newly Characterized Genes to MaizeGDB! Add genes that have been recently discovered and/or characterized to the list by email.
Project Oversight
MaizeGDB is guided by members of the community of maize geneticists through feedback sent to us through the website, and by guidance from the MaizeGDB Working Group. Current membership includes Volker Brendel, Mike Freeling, Owen Hoekenga, Anne-Francoise Lamblin, Thomas Lubberstedt, Karen McGinnis, Lukas Mueller, Mihai Pop, Marty Sachs, Pat Schnable, Anne Sylvester, and Doreen Ware.

WHAT'S NEW 
August 31: In recognition of scientific leadership and major impact on plant developmental genetics, Sarah Hake has been awarded the USDA-ARS Distinguished Senior Research Scientist award for 2010!
August 18: New in POPcorn this month: A completely redesigned user interface for POPcorn BLAST; search for DFCI genes; align your sequence on multiple maize genome browsers; search for Mu insertions in the Photosynthetic Mutant Library.
May 26: The UniformMu track in the MaizeGDB Genome Browser now contains more insertions (Release 2).

UPCOMING
We're working on BLAST! BLAST speed will improve with the upcoming addition of a new BLAST server, and we're adding "AGPv1" and "maize genes" as BLAST database options.
