Data in TAIR can be retrieved using simple and advanced searches, bulk query and download tools, and in collections of prepared text files.

TAIR collaborates with the Arabidopsis Biological Resource Consortium[3] (ABRC) to allow researchers to search, browse and order seed and DNA stocks.

The ABRC's mission is to acquire, preserve and distribute seed and DNA resources that are useful to the Arabidopsis research community.

TAIR’s community includes over 28,000 registered users[4] and the website draws about 60,000 unique visitors per month.

In response to the end of NSF funding, a core group of TAIR staff founded the non-profit organization, Phoenix Bioinformatics,[6] with the aim of finding creative solutions to database sustainability.
