What you can do: Search for gene sequence, RNA secondary structure and biochemical and taxonomic information about organelles.
Highlights:
  • GOBASE is a taxonomically broad organelle genome database that organizes and integrates diverse data related to mitochondria and chloroplasts.
  • GOBASE contains 429 complete organelle genomes as of 2004.
  • The ability to examine a large number of genomes of the same type permits investigation of genome evolution and identification of complex gene rearrangements and their roles in evolutionary divergence and speciation.
