Methods Mol Biol. 2022:2542:55-69. doi: 10.1007/978-1-0716-2549-1_4.

Abstract

The Candida Genome Database provides access to biological information about genes and proteins of several medically important Candida species. The website is organized into easily navigable pages that enable data retrieval and analysis. This chapter shows how to explore the CGD Home page and Locus Summary pages, which are the main access points to the database. It also provides a description of how to use the GO analysis tools, GO Term Finder, and GO Slim Mapper and how to browse large-scale datasets using the JBrowse genome browser. Finally, it shows how to search and retrieve data for user-defined sets of genes using the Advanced Search and Batch Download tools.

Keywords: Candida; Expression analysis; GO Slim; Gene ontology; Genome database; JBrowse.
