Saccharomyces Genome Database (SGD)

The Saccharomyces Genome Database (SGD) is an online resource that provides detailed information about the genes, proteins, and functions of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, commonly known as baker’s yeast. It supports scientists by organizing genetic data, research findings, and functional annotations to help understand how this organism's genes work. Although yeast is simple compared to humans, studying its genetics offers insights into basic biological processes and disease mechanisms. SGD is essential for researchers studying genetics, cell biology, and biotechnology, offering a comprehensive, accessible platform for scientific discovery and education related to yeast genetics.
