PomBase is a comprehensive database for the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, providing structural and functional annotation, literature curation and access to large-scale data sets.
Alert: Please note that the GeneDB (S. pombe) site will no longer be available after May 14, 2013. Active development of PomBase will continue, so please let us know if PomBase lacks any features or tools that you used in GeneDB, or if you notice any missing data or performance issues.

We have extended the Gene Expression section of each gene page to support the display of quantitative expression data, and are now showing data from two publications:
- Marguerat S, Schmidt A, Codlin S, Chen W, Aebersold R, BählerJ. 2012. "Quantitative analysis of fission yeast transcriptomes and proteomes in proliferating and quiescent cells." Cell 151:671-683.
- Wu JQ, Pollard TD. 2005. "Counting cytokinesis proteins globally and locally in fission yeast." Science 310:310-314.
We will also soon refine the display of the new expression data, and can add more datasets upon request. We thank Sam Marguerat for preparing the data from both papers for inclusion in PomBase.

Carl Singer, who was an integral part of the yeast research community for many years, passed away on February 8, 2013. Throughout his career, Carl supported yeast research both with his engineering expertise and with his good cheer. In tribute to Carl, the Singer family has now set up The Carl Singer Foundation, a charitable foundation dedicated to supporting scientific education in the field of yeast genetics. Questions about the foundation may be directed to Harry Singer at harry [at] thecarlsingerfoundation.org.
Carl’s family would be happy to receive memories of Carl’s life at regards [at] singerinstruments.com.
