The Saccharomyces Genome Database (SGD) prioritizes user-centric biological data presentation, enhancing its utility for genomic analysis. Its success demonstrates the importance of community engagement and a biologically relevant approach for scientific databases.

Area of Science:

  • Bioinformatics
  • Computational Biology
  • Genomics

Background:

  • Scientific databases are crucial for interpreting large-scale genomic data in modern biology.
  • Effective data assimilation and biologically relevant presentation are key to database utility.
  • User-centric design is paramount for scientific database success.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To detail the guiding philosophies behind the Saccharomyces Genome Database (SGD).
  • To explain how these philosophies shape SGD's organization and data presentation.
  • To highlight SGD's success factors and its role as a model for other databases.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of SGD's organizational principles and data presentation strategies.
  • Evaluation of SGD's user engagement and community relationship.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Assessment of SGD's impact as a template for similar biological databases.

    • Main Results:

    • SGD has experienced significant usage growth over ten years.
    • SGD maintains a strong relationship with the yeast research community.
    • SGD has served as a foundational model for at least one other scientific database.

    Conclusions:

    • SGD's success is largely attributable to its user-focused, biologically relevant organizational philosophies.
    • These philosophies ensure intuitive data presentation, meeting the needs of the biological research community.
    • SGD exemplifies a successful model for scientific database development and community integration.
