As a model organism database, CGD stores data for\n                  <jats:italic>Candida albicans<\/jats:italic>\n                  , which serves as a model species both for other\n                  <jats:italic>Candida<\/jats:italic>\n                  spp. and for non-\n                  <jats:italic>Candida<\/jats:italic>\n                  fungi that form biofilms and undergo routine morphogenic switching. As a fungal pathogen database, CGD now hosts locus pages for six species of the best-studied pathogenic fungi in the\n                  <jats:italic>Candida<\/jats:italic>\n                  group. Pathogenic\n                  <jats:italic>Candida<\/jats:italic>\n                  species have become increasingly drug resistant and there is thus a pressing need for research into basic\n                  <jats:italic>Candida<\/jats:italic>\n                  biology, epidemiology, phylogeny, and potential new antifungals, as well as a single location where all of the available data are collected, curated, and made easily searchable. CGD curates the gene-based\n                  <jats:italic>Candida<\/jats:italic>\n                  experimental literature in real time, extracting, organizing and standardizing gene annotations. CGD also links clinical data on disease to relevant Literature Topics to improve searchability for clinical researchers. Because CGD curates the literature for multiple species and most research focuses on aspects related to pathogenicity, we focus our curation efforts on assigning Literature Topic tags, collecting detailed mutant phenotype data, and assigning controlled Gene Ontology terms with accompanying evidence codes. Our Summary pages for each locus include the primary name and all aliases for that locus, a description of the gene and\/or gene product, detailed ortholog information with links, a synteny view, a JBrowse window with a visual view of the gene on its chromosome, links to Phenotype, Gene Ontology, Interactions, and Expression pages, as well as sequence information, references cited on the summary page itself, and any locus notes. The database also serves as a community hub, where we link to various types of reference material of relevance to\n                  <jats:italic>Candida<\/jats:italic>\n                  researchers, including colleague information, news, and notice of upcoming meetings. We routinely survey the community to learn how the field is evolving and how needs may have changed. Here we describe CGD\u2019s new modern web interface and multiple new tools that have been added in the last 6 months, allowing, among other things, users to better understand the available expression data for a locus and seamlessly switch between species for a given locus.\n                <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.64898\/2026.07.28.741317","type":"posted-content","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,30]],"date-time":"2026-07-30T10:25:13Z","timestamp":1785407113000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["The\n                  <i>Candida<\/i>\n                  Genome Database"],"prefix":"10.64898","author":[{"given":"Jodi","family":"Lew-Smith","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Dept. of Genetics, Stanford University, Stanford CA 94305-5120"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shuai","family":"Weng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dept. of Genetics, Stanford University, Stanford CA 94305-5120"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1692-4983","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gavin","family":"Sherlock","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dept. of Genetics, Stanford University, Stanford CA 94305-5120"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"54368","reference":[{"key":"2026080111451088000_2026.07.28.741317v1.1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/cid\/cis021"},{"key":"2026080111451088000_2026.07.28.741317v1.2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejim.2016.06.029"},{"key":"2026080111451088000_2026.07.28.741317v1.3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/nar\/gki485"},{"key":"2026080111451088000_2026.07.28.741317v1.4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2147\/CLEP.S459600"},{"key":"2026080111451088000_2026.07.28.741317v1.5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1101\/gr.3672305"},{"key":"2026080111451088000_2026.07.28.741317v1.6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jinf.2016.07.008"},{"key":"2026080111451088000_2026.07.28.741317v1.7","unstructured":"CDC.
