ChickVD -- a sequence variation database for the chicken genome

What you can do:
Search for information on non-redundant DNA sequence variants in different chicken genomes.
Highlights:
  • The database is the result of mapping extensive DNA sequence variation throughout the chicken genome by sampling DNA from domestic breeds.
  • A graphical MapView shows variants mapped onto the chicken genome in the context of gene annotations and other features, including genetic markers, trait loci, cDNAs, chicken orthologs of human disease genes and raw sequence traces.
  • ChickVD also stores information on quantitative trait loci using data from collaborating institutions and public resources.
  • The data can be queried by search engine and homology-based BLAST searches.
