[bionet.molbio.bio-matrix] Mendelian Genetic Database Sought

moberg@cis.ohio-state.edu (Dale Moberg) (04/23/91)

We need to locate a machine-readable, ftp-able database
containing Mendelian genetic breeding data for some organism
exhibiting the following combinations:

1. At least two genes (4 alleles), heterozygous, both incompletely
dominant, linked.


2. At least two genes (4 alleles), heterozygous, both incompletely
dominant, independent (in different linkage groups).


Ideally the data would be raw numbers for the phenotypic
characteristics and genes. We want data that has not been "cleaned up"
into ratios, but is very close to lab notebook observations. (This is
not usually found in textbooks or publications.)  References to books
or articles will also be appreciated, but a database would be ideal.


The data is to be used by an AI theory generating program that
starts with a simple Mendelian view of inheritance and
progresses to Morgan's chromosomal theory. 


Thanks for any pointers.
