Neglected Genomes Databases
To promote genetic, genomic and developmental resaerch on organisms for which complete genome sequences are not yet available, and to provide comparative analyses for those with completed genomes, we and others are sequencing large numbers of expresswed sequence tags (ESTs) drom a wide range of species.
Here we provide access to our "Neglected Genomes" PartiGene databases, representing analyses of EST data generated both here in Edinburgh, in collaboration with other colleagues worldwide, and data accessed via GenBank.
our databases for species from phylum ARTHROPODA (over 60 taxa) our Hypsibius dujardini (a tardigrade or water bear) EST and GSS database our database of ESTs from the earthworm Lumbricus rubellus and other annelids, part of the ECOWORM Environmental Genomics Programme ESTs from nine species of mollusc, including Lymnea stagnalis, the pond snail LophDB A database of EST data from platyhelminths and other Lophotrochozoa (work in progress) Axolotl A database of analysed ESTs and mRNAs from Ambystoma species (axolotls or salamanders) The website is currently "under reconstruction" - please email mark.blaxter-at-ed.ac.uk if you find a significant broken link.
