Blaxter Lab Databases

The following databases are served from the Blaxter Lab. Most are based on analyses of ESTs or GSSs from "neglected taxa" using the PartiGene suite of programmes. Please contact us at nematodebioinf@ed.ac.uk if you experience problems or would like access to these databases other than through the www.
