NEMBASE4

NEMBASE is a comprehensive Nematode Transcriptome Database.
NEMBASE4 includes robust protein predictions (NemPep4), and protein families for 63 nematode species, over 600,000 ESTs and over 250,000 proteins. NEMBASE4 was built by Ben Elsworth with assistance from James Wasmuth and Mark Blaxter
