HGD -- Hymenoptera Genome Database
What you can do:
Find information about insects in the Hymenoptera order.
Highlights:
- HGD is a comprehensive model organism database that caters to the needs of scientists working on insect species of the order Hymenoptera.
- This system implements open-source software and relational databases providing access to curated data contributed by an extensive, active research community.
- It contains data from 9 different species across ∼200 million years in the phylogeny of Hymenoptera, allowing researchers to leverage genetic, genome sequence and gene expression data, as well as the biological knowledge of related model organisms.
- The availability of resources across an order greatly facilitates comparative genomics and enhances our understanding of the biology of agriculturally important Hymenoptera species through genomics.
- Curated data at HGD includes predicted and annotated gene sets supported with evidence tracks such as ESTs/cDNAs, small RNA sequences and GC composition domains. Data at HGD can be queried using genome browsers and/or BLAST/PSI-BLAST servers, and it may also be downloaded to perform local searches.
