Area of Science:

Genomic informatics
Human Genome Project data management

Background:

The Genome Data Base (GDB) was established in 1991 as the central repository for Human Genome Project mapping data.
GDB has operated for 28 months under funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Department of Energy (DOE).

Purpose of the Study:

To adapt GDB strategies to meet the evolving demands of genomic researchers.
To address long-standing, unmet needs within the genomic research community.
To provide leadership in the genome informatics enterprise.

Main Methods:

Implementing enhanced data acquisition strategies.
Improving genome map representation.
Achieving full integration with other genomic databases.

Main Results:

Significant progress and internal changes within GDB over 28 months.
Adaptation of GDB strategies to external environmental changes.
Development of future plans focused on data acquisition, map representation, and database integration.

Conclusions:

GDB has successfully adapted to the dynamic landscape of the Human Genome Project.
Future plans emphasize enhanced data acquisition, improved map visualization, and seamless integration into the broader genomic database ecosystem.
GDB is positioned to provide leadership in genome informatics.
