It provides a custom database kernel, with a non-standard data model designed specifically for handling scientific data flexibly, and a graphical user interface with many specific displays and tools for genomic data. Acedb is used both for managing data within genome projects, and for making genomic data available to the wider scientific community. Acedb was originally developed for the C.elegans genome project , from which its name was derived (A C. elegans DataBase). However, the tools in it have been generalized to be much more flexible and the same software is now used for many different genomic databases from bacteria to fungi to plants to man. It is also increasingly used for databases with non-biological content. The ACeDB training course, run by the HGMP, is on the 19-22 June 2001 and is divided into blocks of 1 day and 3 days. The first day will be dedicated entirely to new users and the following three days for database curators and administators.
