A Saccharomyces cerevisiae Internet protein resource now available

The QUEST Protein Database Center is now making available two Saccharomyces cerevisiae protein databases via the Internet. The yeast electrophoretic protein database (YEPD) is a database of approximately one hundred protein identifications on two-dimensional gels. The yeast protein database (YPD) is a database of gene names and properties of over 3500 yeast proteins of known sequence. These databases can be accessed via a World-Wide Web (WWW) server (URL http:@siva.cshl.org). YPD is available via public ftp (isis.cshl.org) as well, in a spreadsheet format, and in ASCII format. When accessed via WWW, both of these databases have hypertext links to other biological data, such as the SWISS-PROT protein sequence database and the Saccharomyces Genome Database (SacchDB), and to each other.
