<p>MaizeGDB is a community-oriented, long-term, federally funded informatics service to researchers focused on the crop plant and model organism Zea mays. Genomic, genetic, sequence, germplasm, gene product, metabolic pathways, functional characterization, literature reference, diversity, and expression are among the datatypes stored at MaizeGDB. At the project's website are custom interfaces enabling researchers to browse data and to seek out specific information matching explicit search criteria. First released in 1991 with the name MaizeDB, the Maize Genetics and Genomics Database, now MaizeGDB (since 2003), is funded, developed, and hosted by the USDA-ARS located at Ames, Iowa. </p><div><br>Resources in this dataset:</div><br><ul><li><p>Resource Title: MaizeGDB, the community database for maize genetics and genomics..</p> <p>File Name: Web Page, url: <a href="https://maizegdb.org/">https://maizegdb.org/</a> </p><p>MaizeGDB is a community-oriented, long-term, federally funded informatics service to researchers focused on the crop plant and model organism Zea mays.

This resource is for researchers interested in genetics and genomics data related to maize.
Use limitations
The datasets at MaizeGDB are not all-encompassing of available data related to maize. MaizeGDB focuses on curating high-quality and high-impact datasets.
