ToxoDB (http: //ToxoDB. org) provides a genome resource for the protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii. Several sequencing projects devoted to T. gondii have been completed or are in progress: an EST project (http: //genome. wustl. edu/est/index. php? toxoplasma=1), a BAC clone end-sequencing project (http: //www. sanger. ac. uk/Projects/Tgondii/) and an 8X random shotgun genomic sequencing project (http: //www. tigr. org/tdb/e2k1/tga1/). ToxoDB was designed to provide a central point of access for all available T. gondii data, and a variety of data mining tools useful for the analysis of unfinished, un-annotated draft sequence during the early phases of the genome project. In later stages, as more and different types of data become available (microarray, proteomic, SNP, QTL, etc. ) the database will provide an integrated data analysis platform facilitating user-defined queries across the different data types.
