Yeast Phenome is a collaborative project dedicated to building and maintaining a comprehensive compendium of systematic loss-of-function phenotypes for the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
As part of this effort, we systematically track, collect, and annotate all published phenotypic screens utilizing the yeast knock-out collection. We extract the data, standardize their format and structure, and make them readily available for search, download, and analysis.
The project is run by Anastasia Baryshnikova (abaryshk@gmail.com) and her team (https://github.com/baryshnikova-lab).
Github hosts two repositories crucial to the success of the project:
- yp-data which contains the Python code used to ingest, clean, transform, and normalize public data.
- yeastphenome.org which contains the Python codebase for the Yeast Phenome website.
