The Yeast Proteome Database (YPD™) has been for several years a resource organized and accessible information about the proteins of Saccharomycescerevisiae. We have now extended YPD format to create database containing complete proteome model organism Caenorhabditiselegans (WormPD™). WormPD are designed use not only by their respective research communities but also broader scientific community. In both databases, gleaned from literature is presented in consistent, user-friendly Protein Report format: single Web page presenting all available knowledge particular protein. Each begins with Title Line, concise description function that protein continually updated as curators review new literature.
