MDS_IES_DB -- a database of macronuclear and micronuclear genes in spirotrichous ciliates

URL:
http://oxytricha.princeton.edu/dimorphism/database.htm
What you can do:
Search for information on all spirotrich genes for which both Macronuclei (MAC) and Micronuclei (MIC)versions are sequenced.
Highlights:
  • This a database that contains all spirotrich genes for which both MAC and MIC versions are sequenced, with consistent annotation and easy access to all the features.
  • In some ciliate classes, such as spirotrichs, most genes undergo several layers of DNA rearrangement during macronuclear development. Because of such processes, these organisms provide ideal systems for studying mechanisms of recombination and gene rearrangement.
Keywords:
