database that is grounded in genetic maps, their documentation and annotation.
The database management system is robust and has continuously been Sybase. In this brief
review we provide an introduction to the database as a functional genomics tool and new
accesses to the data: 1) probe tables by bin location 2) BLAST access to map data 3)
cMap, a comparative map graphical tool.</p>
