Welcome to the home of the Tetrahymena Genome Database
(TGD).
TGD is a web-accessible database of information about the Tetrahymena thermophila genome sequence
determined at The Institute for Genomic Research (TIGR). TGD provides information on the genome, genes,
and proteins of Tetrahymena collected from the scientific literature,
research community, and many other sources.
TGD is intended to be a resource for all members of the scientific research
community interested in Tetrahymena and other ciliates. As
we develop TGD, we would greatly appreciate input from the
community so that we can better tailor TGD to meet its needs.
Please feel free to send comments, suggestions, or questions to TGD at
ciliate-curator@genome.stanford.edu.

Stock Center
|
|---|
The Tetrahymena
Stock Center at Cornell University is now open! The Stock Center is
currently accepting orders for a core group of commonly requested
strains. Browse the list of strains available, then email or FAX your
order to the Stock Center. The Stock Center is also accepting
deposition of scientifically useful strains.

GBrowse Annotation Update
|
|---|
We have made updates to the data presented in our genome browser. Now, each of the
~300 protein-coding genes described in the Tetrahymena literature are
annotated with the standardized gene name, plus text from the brief descriptions we have curated for each gene. These gene models
now also appear in orange, making them easy to spot as you scan along a chromosome.

2006 NAR Database Paper on TGD
|
|---|
The 2006 Nucleic Acids Research Database
issue is now available. This issue includes a paper (HTML | PDF) by the TGD staff describing the resources for Tetrahymena research.

TGD's Tetrahymena Gene Index
|
|---|
We have added an index of Tetrahymena thermophila genes that have been given standard gene names by the research community. The database and gene index page will be updated as new genes are discovered and published. Hyperlinks to the gene index may be found from the table of content categories Genome Resources and Tetrahymena Literature, located on the upper left hand side of the page.
