Cyanosite

Cyanosite is dedicated to information transfer within the cyanobacterial research community. This site will work to maintain archives of experimental protocols, taxonomic information, comprehensive bibliographic information, educational resources for college and secondary school teachers, general information about blue-green algae, and links to other cyanobacterial, prochlorophyte, and cyanelle sites on the web.

Marine Picocyanobacteria Genome Project

The Marine Picocyanobacteria Genome Project is an international initiative for sequencing the small cyanobacteria.  A web interface, “Cyanorak”, has been developed by Dr. A. Dufresne in order to retrieve and annotate the clusters of orthologous proteins common to these 11 Synechococcus genomes as well as the first thee published Prochlorococcus genomes, P. marinus SS120 (Dufresne et al., 2003) and MED4 and Prochlorococcus sp. MIT9313 (Rocap et al., 2003). A read-only version is accessible at http://www.sb-roscoff.fr/Phyto/cyanorak.

CyanoBase

CyanoBase (and the New CyanoBase) provides an easy way of accessing the sequences and all-inclusive annotation data on the structures of the cyanobacterial genomes. This database was originally developed by Makoto Hirosawa, Takakazu Kaneko and Satoshi Tabata, and the current version of CyanoBase has been developed and maintained by Yasukazu Nakamura, Takakazu Kaneko, and Satoshi Tabata at Kazusa DNA Research Institute.
