##Using GOLD (the Genomes Online Database)  Go to: http://genomesonline.org/cgi-bin/GOLD/index.cgi  Click Under  the search button on Search tab click  the left side of the page "Quick Search" option  and you should be taken to a page that looks like the screen shot displayed in Figure \ref{fig:GOLD}. Fill out the blue Organism Information (Organism Name) section, with information about your microbe from BLAST and click submit search. We usually search for only the genus to get a sense for how well that genus is represented in the database and which species are present. Figure \ref{fig:GOLD\_results} shows an example screen shot of the results for "_Brachybacterium_." Clicking on a project ID will take you to a more detailed description of the project including its project status (complete, permanent draft, incomplete, targeted).
