The ARTHROPODA PartiGene Databases
As part of our effort in PhyloGenomics, we have developed the PartiGene ARTHROPODA Database. In these databases, we have analysed the EST datasets for sixty different arthropod species. For current data on the database contents, please see the summary page.
To aid searching we have split the interface between four class-based views:
Chelicerata
Hexapoda
Crustacea
Myriapoda
Amongst other analyses, we have included Alfried Vogler's lab's PartiGene analysis of ~30 different arthropod species ESTs. A separate access point for that dataset is also available.
The sources of the sequence data and images used are available here. (Please note: this list is currently incomplete)
The database is curated by Mark Blaxter

Website Highlight
The dog parasitic nematode Toxocara canis.
T. canis is an ascarid nematode. Ascarids are gut and tissue parasites of a wide range of vertebrates, including humans. This species infects dogs (and is the main reason why puppies should be "wormed"). It is important medically as its larvae can infect humans and cause blindness. See NEMBASE4 for analyses of ESTs from this parasite and many other nematodes.
