ApiEST-DB --EST Data of the Apicomplexan Parasites
What you can do:
Access EST data from protozoan parasites in the phylum Apicomplexa.
Highlights:
- The database currently incorporates a total of nearly 100 000 ESTs (as of 2004) from several parasite species of clinical and/or veterinary interest, including Eimeria tenella, Neospora caninum, Plasmodium falciparum, Sarcocystis neurona and Toxoplasma gondii.
- It enables complex biologically based queries, facilitating validation of gene models, identification of alternative splicing, detection of single nucleotide polymorphisms, identification of stage-specific genes and recognition of phylogenetically conserved and phylogenetically restricted sequences.
