1991: Colibri, non-redundant database on the E. coli genome
1994: SubtiList, non-redundant database on the B. subtilis genome, adapted for the genome sequencing project
Central concepts of the data structure:
- Contigs (non-redundant DNA sequences)
- Verified features
- Genes and proteins
- EMBL entries
- Bibliographic references
