Abstract
Expressing genetic concepts in ways that allow computerization of detailed genetic information and connectivitity with molecular biology databases is discussed. Interconnections between and among organismal and molecular databases are illustrated with examples from E. Coli and maize databases on the World Wide Web connecting with GenBank, SwissProt, and other databases. Issues in development, maintenance, and widespread public use of such information are discussed.
