SGD Video Tutorials: YeastMine

YeastMine is a data search and retrieval tool that incorporates the many different types of data present in SGD and allows users to query that data in different combinations, facilitating analysis. Datatypes that can be queried in YeastMine include chromosomal features, sequences, protein features, GO annotations, phenotypes, interaction data, expression data, and curated literature. SGD has provided a variety of pre-defined queries, termed "Templates," to help you access different types of data. The results of a query can be saved as a "List" that can be organized into suitable tables, edited, exported, and even combined, subtracted, or intersected with other Lists of the same datatype.

Because YeastMine allows flexible searching, you can also modify existing Templates to create a new query, or design custom Templates using the "QueryBuilder" tool. QueryBuilder allows you to construct a query from scratch by displaying an interactive browser, within YeastMine, to selectively apply constraints and specify your desired output.

Lastly, creating a personal "MyMine" account allows you to permanently save your Lists, Queries, and Templates for future use. The following tutorials demonstrate how YeastMine can be used for data acquisition and analysis, and highlight the many uses of this tool.
