    | Model Eukaryotic Organism Workshop (MEOW) Genes database
    |<pre> 
    |A goal of MEOW Genes data is to establish a common
    |summary for the major model eukaryotic organism databases. 
    |
    |              This summary should include
    |*Valid terms:
    |        -Gene symbol
    |        -Gene full name
    |        -Gene identifier number
    |*Synonyms:
    |        -Symbol synonyms
    |        -Full name synonyms
    |        -Secondary gene identifier numbers
    |*Map location information:
    |        -Chromosome and genetic map position
    |        -Molecular map information (simple graphic of DNA length,
    |          encoded transcript(s) and CDS(s) if available)
    |*Gene product information:
    |        -Functional information (from function ontology if available)
    |        -Structural information (from InterProt)
    |        -Homology information with other "MEOW" organisms 
    |*Links to extended gene information in the specialty model organism DBs.
    |*Brief free text gene summary (a few lines at most).
    |
    |                     Sources of data
    |       MEOW data is automatically updated from sources.
