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.

NEMBASE4 The key nematode transcriptome analysis database, including over 60 species and 250000 different putative genes.
in preparation (05/2010)
 
This version (NemBase3) has been superceded by NEMBASE4, but we leave the database available as we have published analyses using it..
published
A series of single-species PartiGene databases for nematode EST and GSS datasets that have not yet been incorporated into NEMBASE

A database of clustered ESTs from sixty species of arthropods, including CHELICERATA, HEXAPODA, MYRIAPODA and CRUSTACEA. Developed by Mark Blaxter as part of a collaboration with Benjamin Gantenbein (scorpion ESTs), Tom Little (comparative Daphnia immunogenomics) and Alfried Vogler (hexapod systematics).

The evolution of Wolbachia

By sequencing ~8% of the genome of the Wolbachia endosymbiont of Onchocerca volvulus we have estimated the phylogentic history of this important group of symbionts.
