amount of information reported in the literature and generated by systematic sequencing
and functional genomics projects. Biological databases have become everyday working
tools for many researchers. This dependency goes both ways in that the databases require
continuous feedback from the research community to maintain accurate, reliable, and upto-
date information. The fission yeast <italic>Schizosaccharomyces pombe</italic> has recently been
sequenced, setting the stage for the post-genome era of this popular model organism. Here,
we provide an overview of relevant databases available, or being developed, together with a
compilation of Internet resources containing useful information and tools for fission yeast.</p>
