| A brief description of CGD resources & tools, organized by topic. Links to help documentation. Compares and contrasts similar resources. | ||
| Getting Started with CGD | ||
| Common uses of CGD | ||
| Gene Nomenclature Guide | ||
| Information about the various types of gene names/identifiers that are in use. Guidelines for registering a new gene name, as agreed upon by the members of the research community. | ||
| Sequence Documentation | ||
| Information about the DNA and protein sequences in CGD. How to access sequence information. The source of these sequences and further explanation of some sequence-related issues. | ||
| Search Help | ||
| Documentation about search
tools in CGD. Additional tool-specific documentation is available: Advanced Search|Batch Download|Get Sequence|Full-text Literature Search (Textpresso) | ||
| GBrowse Help | ||
| Navigating the genome using the GBrowse Genome Browser. How to view nucleotide and protein sequence in GBrowse. | ||
| BLAST Documentation | ||
| How to use the BLAST tool
to query sequence similarity in CGD. A detailed
description of the search output is found on the BLAST Results help
page. | ||
| Non-standard Genetic Code Usage in Candida | ||
| Information about translation tables used
in CGD. Candida albicans and some related
species (often called the "CTG clade") use a non-standard
genetic code, "Translation table 12: Alternative Yeast Nuclear Code," to translate nuclear genes. | ||

| How to use the Webprimer tool
to design primers for PCR or for sequencing. | ||

| How to use the Genome
Restriction Analysis tool to compute a restriction map based
on DNA sequence. | ||

metabolic pathway information in CGD. | ||
| Gene Ontology (GO) Documentation | ||

| CGD Web Page Help | ||
| A guide to the types of information found on CGD web pages: Locus | Literature Guide | CGD Paper | Mutant Phenotype | ||
| Protein Pages | ||
| A guide to the resources available from the Protein tab on the Locus Summary page for each ORF: Protein Information Page | Domains/Motifs Page | Protein Physicochemical Properties | PDB Homolog Page | ||
| CGD Download Help | ||

| CGD Quick Resource Guide | ||
|
A pamphlet (download pdf) that
describes the content and usage of many resources available at
CGD. The guide was developed a few years ago and so it does not include the latest features added to
CGD, but it provides an overview of the basic
functions and types of information available. | ||
