WildSilkbase -- an EST database of wild silkmoths
What you can do:
A BLAST searchable catalog of expressed sequence tags generated from several tissues of wild silkmoths at different developmental stages.
Highlights:
- WildSilkbase is a catalogue of ESTs generated from several tissues at different developmental stages of 3 economically important saturniid silkmoths, an Indian golden silkmoth, Antheraea assama, an Indian tropical tasar silkmoth, A. mylitta and eri silkmoth, Samia cynthia ricini.
- Currently the database is provided with 57,113 ESTs which are clustered and assembled into 4,019 contigs and 10,019 singletons.
- Data can be browsed and downloaded using a standard web browser.
- Users can search the database either by BLAST query, keywords or Gene Ontology query.
- There are options to carry out searches for species, tissue and developmental stage specific ESTs in BLAST page.
- Other features of the WildSilkbase include cSNP discovery, GO viewer, homologue finder, SSR finder and links to all other related databases.
