eHOMD

The goal of creating the Human Oral Microbiome Database (HOMD) is to provide the scientific community with comprehensive information on the approximately 700 prokaryote species that are present in the human oral cavity. Approximately 49% are officially named, 17% unnamed (but cultivated) and 34% are known only as uncultivated phylotypes. The HOMD presents a provisional naming scheme for the currently unnamed species so that strain, clone, and probe data from any laboratory can be directly linked to a stably named reference scheme. The HOMD links sequence data with phenotypic, phylogenetic, clinical, and bibliographic information. Genome sequences for oral bacteria determined as part of this project, the Human Microbiome Project, and other sequencing projects are being added to the HOMD as they become available. Genomes for 315 oral taxa (46% of taxa on HOMD) are currently available on HOMD. The HOMD site offers easy to use tools for viewing all publically available oral bacterial genomes.

创建人类口腔微生物组数据库（HOMD）的宗旨在于为科学界提供关于人类口腔中大约700种原核生物物种的全面信息。其中，大约49%已正式命名，17%尚未命名（但已培养），而34%仅以未培养的类群形态存在。HOMD提出了一种临时命名方案，以供当前未命名的物种使用，从而确保任何实验室的菌株、克隆和探针数据能够直接与一个稳定的命名体系相连接。HOMD将序列数据与表型、系统发育、临床和文献信息相链接。本项目、人类微生物组项目以及其他测序项目所确定的口腔细菌基因组序列正在被陆续添加至HOMD中。目前，HOMD上已有315种口腔类群（占HOMD类群总数的46%）的基因组数据可供查询。HOMD网站提供便捷的工具，以供用户查看所有公开发布的口腔细菌基因组。
