26th Anniversary of SGD Website

May 13, 2020

Happy Birthday to Us!  May 8, 2020 marked the 26th anniversary of the day the SGD website first went live, bringing yeast genome information to all!  In May 1994, the “World Wide Web” had only been in existence for about 22 months, but starting way back then, anyone (especially yeast researchers!) could easily access the “SacchDB” database from our old server “genome-www.stanford.edu” to find information on our favorite model organism, the budding yeast.  We’ve grown a lot since then, and have even migrated to the cloud!  But as always, we’d like to express our gratitude to all of our users, collaborators, advisors, staff, and anyone else who has supported SGD over the last 26 years.  Without such a great community behind us, SGD would not be the fantastic resource it is today.

The SGD Team zoomed in to celebrate the anniversary with cupcakes and fuzzy budders:

“26 years and still your best bud!” #APOYG!
