Welcome to the RiceBlastDB Home Page! RiceBlastDB is a database that aims to integrate the diverse types of information being generated about Magnaporthe grisea, the causal agent of rice blast disease. It contains genetic and physical maps, marker data, population structure, DNA fingerprints, pathotype, mating type, and geographical distribution. The database also includes an extensive bibliography as well as contact information for colleagues who are working on different aspects of the fungus and the disease.
Access
The database is publically-accessible over the World-Wide Web through servers running either here at Cornell or at the UK CropNet mirror site. If you want to run the database directly on your local machine, you can download it via FTP. You will also need to download a copy of ACEDB; binary executables are available for Linux, Windows, Macintosh, and various Unixen.
Other databases
You may also be interested in our sister database RiceGenes, the genome database for rice. There are also genome databases for other crops hosted at Cornell University and UK CropNet.
