@cthoyt all SGD data are backed up within the AWS infrastructure.

❓ GO puts the FUN in function, yes - but what is phenomenal for phenomics???

Due to ongoing funding cuts, SGD is trimming unused services. Next up is the SGD Community Wiki: https://wiki.yeastgenome.org/index.php/Main_Page.

We will be moving some of the pages and info to the SGD Help site: https://sites.google.com/view/yeastgenome-help/sgd-general-help

If there is anything you need from the Community Wiki, please get it now before we close it down in the coming weeks.

You can Give a Gift/Support SGD: Donations are now critical for our work to continue. See the homepage for info on how to contribute: https://www.yeastgenome.org

I've been sending out messages to people who work in parasite and vector genomics to ask for help gathering "user stories" for analyses that they used to do on VEuPathDB. If you are one such person and I haven't reached out to you yet, please consider visiting https://help.brc-analytics.org/t/veupathdb-user-stories/13 to participate in the discussion about workflows so that BRC Analytics (https://brc-analytics.org) can cover as many analysis workflows in this space as possible.

Ever see a Gene Ontology annotation that doesn't use a PMID as a reference, but instead has GO_REF: and a bunch of numbers?

Find out what a GO_REF is & where to find full descriptions of them in this week's Alliance Forums post: https://community.alliancegenome.org/t/whats-a-go-reference-go-ref/7795

SGD distributes data in various files in the SGD Downloads site: http://sgd-archive.yeastgenome.org

For information regarding genes and IDs, etc., check out the chromosomal_features directory. There you will find various files.

For information regarding various types of annotations, see the literature directory where you can find a variety of annotation files.

To access the SGD Downloads site, click on ‘Download’ in the black toolbar running across the top of most SGD webpages.

YeastMine shutting down July 15. Due to ongoing cuts to our funding, SGD can no longer continue to provide the YeastMine data warehouse resource. It is with heavy hearts that we discontinue this service.
