October 12, 2009

We are pleased to announce the beta release of the Phenoscape Knowledgebase (KB) at http://kb.phenoscape.org/ and would like to solicit feedback.

Phenoscape KB integrates phenotypic data from genetic studies of zebrafish with evolutionarily variable phenotypes from the literature of fishes. It currently contains 333,987 phenotype statements about 2,310 taxa (mainly ostariophysan fishes), from 51 publications, and 11,267 phenotype statements about 2,953 genes retrieved from ZFIN (zfin.org). You can explore these data by searching for anatomical terms, taxa (by Latin name), or genes (by ZFIN gene symbol). Read the rest of this entry »
