The Diatom EST Database

URL:

http://avesthagen.sznbowler.com/

What you can do:

Search for expressed sequence tag (EST) data from two eukaryotic microalgae of the class Bacillariophyceae, Phaeodactylum tricornutum and Thalassiosira pseudonana.

Highlights:

The Diatom Expressed Sequence Tag (EST) Database was constructed to provide integral access to ESTs from these ecologically and evolutionarily interesting microalgae.
It has now been updated with 130,000 Phaeodactylum tricornutum ESTs from 16 cDNA libraries and 77,000 Thalassiosira pseudonana ESTs from seven libraries, derived from cells grown in different nutrient and stress regimes.
The updated relational database incorporates results from statistical analyses such as log-likelihood ratios and hierarchical clustering, which help to identify differentially expressed genes under different conditions, and allow similarities in gene expression in different libraries to be investigated in a functional context.
The database also incorporates links to the recently sequenced genomes of P. tricornutum and T. pseudonana, enabling an easy cross-talk between the expression pattern of diatom orthologs and the genome browsers.
