13. Estratégias de análise da diversidade em germoplasma de cajueiro (Anacardium spp. L.) / Strategies for evaluating the diversity in germplasm of the cashew (Anacardium spp. L.)
The cashew (Anacardium occidentale) is a perennial arboreal fruit tree that is actually cropped in several tropical countries around the World. The Brazilian territory is probably the original and main diversity center of this tree fruit, as well as for most species of the genus Anacardium. On the other hand, studies concerning to the evaluation and characte

14. Os Katukina e o Kampô : aspectos etnográficos da construção de um projeto de acesso a conhecimentos tradicionais
The Katukina, a Panoan-speaking indigenous people from the upper Juruá river basin in the state of Acre, are presently involved in the Kampô Project. As coordinated by the Ministry of Environment, the project seeks to access traditional knowledge associated with genetic resources. Such knowledge is the indigenous use of the secretion obtained from Phyllome

15. Plant genetic resources: What can they contribute toward increased crop productivity?
To feed a world population growing by up to 160 people per minute, with >90% of them in developing countries, will require an astonishing increase in food production. Forecasts call for wheat to become the most important cereal in the world, with maize close behind; together, these crops will account for ≈80% of developing countries’ cereal import r

16. Databases and Information Integration for the Medicago truncatula Genome and Transcriptome1
An international consortium is sequencing the euchromatic genespace of Medicago truncatula. Extensive bioinformatic and database resources support the marker-anchored bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) sequencing strategy. Existing physical and genetic maps and deep BAC-end sequencing help to guide the sequencing effort, while EST databases provide essent

17. The International Rice Information System. A Platform for Meta-Analysis of Rice Crop Data
Ambiguous germplasm identification; difficulty in tracing pedigree information; and lack of integration between genetic resources, characterization, breeding, evaluation, and utilization data are constraints in developing knowledge-intensive crop improvement programs. To address these constraints, the International Crop Information System (www.icis.cgiar.org

18. Information resources at the National Center for Biotechnology Information.
The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), part of the National Library of Medicine, was established in 1988 to perform basic research in the field of computational molecular biology as well as build and distribute molecular biology databases. The basic research has led to new algorithms and analysis tools for interpreting genomic data and has

19. Electronic access to mouse tumor data: the Mouse Tumor Biology Database (MTB) project.
The Mouse Tumor Biology (MTB) Database supports the use of the mouse as a model system of hereditary and induced cancers by providing electronic access to: (i) tumor names and classifications, (ii) tumor incidence and latency data in different strains of mice, (iii) tumor pathology reports and images, (iv) information on genetic factors associated with tumor

20. ASTRAL compendium enhancements
The ASTRAL compendium provides several databases and tools to aid in the analysis of protein structures, particularly through the use of their sequences. It is partially derived from the SCOP database of protein domains, and it includes sequences for each domain as well as other resources useful for studying these sequences and domain structures. Several maj

21. Genome structure and evolution in Drosophila: applications of the framework P1 map.
Physical maps showing the relative locations of cloned DNA fragments in the genome are important resources for research in molecular genetics, genome analysis, and evolutionary biology. In addition to affording a common frame of reference for organizing diverse types of genetic data, physical maps also provide ready access to clones containing DNA sequences

22. GERMINATE. A Generic Database for Integrating Genotypic and Phenotypic Information for Plant Genetic Resource Collections1[w]
The extensive germplasm resource collections that are now available for major crop plants and their wild relatives will increasingly provide valuable biological and bioinformatics resources for plant physiologists and geneticists to dissect the molecular basis of key traits and to develop highly adapted plant material to sustain future breeding programs.

23. Plant Genome Resources at the National Center for Biotechnology Information
The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) integrates data from more than 20 biological databases through a flexible search and retrieval system called Entrez. A core Entrez database, Entrez Nucleotide, includes GenBank and is tightly linked to the NCBI Taxonomy database, the Entrez Protein database, and the scientific literature in PubMed. A s

24. Environmental influences on the high mortality from colorectal cancer in African Americans
Colon cancer is the second leading cause of cancer related death in American adults. The incidence and mortality are highest in African Americans (AAs) (incidence: 52 per 100 000) and lowest in American Hispanics (37 per 100 000). Comparative studies with Native Africans (<5 per 100 000) suggest that genetic susceptibility is an unlikely explanation an
