How to Cite SGD
When citing information obtained in a search of SGD, it should be remembered that while SGD strives to contain the most current and accurate data, reference should always be made to the primary sources of the data contained in SGD when possible.
SGD citations
To use an SGD publication:
Cherry JM, Hong EL, Amundsen C, Balakrishnan R, Binkley G, Chan ET, Christie KR, Costanzo MC, Dwight SS, Engel SR, Fisk DG, Hirschman JE, Hitz BC, Karra K, Krieger CJ, Miyasato SR, Nash RS, Park J, Skrzypek MS, Simison M, Weng S, Wong ED (2012) Saccharomyces Genome Database: the genomics resource of budding yeast. Nucleic Acids Res. Jan;40(Database issue):D700-5. [PMID: 22110037]
To cite SGD files obtained via the World Wide Web:
SGD project. "Saccharomyces Genome Database" / (date ofmessage or visit).
To cite SGD files available for download:
SGD project. "Saccharomyces Genome Database" http://downloads.yeastgenome.org/ (date of access).
To cite whole chromosomes
There is no single citation available for the entire Saccharomyces cerevisiae systematic sequencing project. The reference information for each chromosome can be obtained from the links found on the Systematic Sequencing Table.
The citation for the genetic and physical maps of Saccharomyces cerevisiae as of May 1997 is:
Cherry JM, Ball C, Weng S, Juvik G, Schmidt R, Adler C, Dunn B, Dwight S, Riles L, Mortimer RK, Botstein D Nature 1997 387(6632 Suppl):67-73 Genetic and physical maps of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. [PMID: 9169866]
To cite GenBank sequences
If GenBank sequence entries are to be cited, the citation should include the sequence name and GenBank accession number. For example:
The GenBank accession number for the sequence of the left arm of Chromosome I reported in this paper is U12980.
