Highlights:

The Silkworm Knowledgebase (SilkDB) is a web-based repository for the curation, integration and study of silkworm genetic and genomic data.
SilkDB provides an integrated representation of the large-scale, genome-wide sequence assembly, cDNAs, clusters of expressed sequence tags (ESTs), transposable elements (TEs), mutants, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and functional annotations of genes with assignments to InterPro domains and Gene Ontology (GO) terms.
SilkDB also hosts a set of ESTs from Bombyx mandarina, a wild progenitor of B. mori, and a collection of genes from other Lepidoptera.
New additions include the completion of a new high-quality assembly of the silkworm genome sequence as well as the construction of a genome-wide microarray to survey gene expression profiles.
The genomic data was updated, including genome assembly, gene annotation, chromosomal mapping, orthologous relationship and experiment data, such as microarray expression data, Expressed Sequence Tags (ESTs) and corresponding references.
Several new tools, including SilkMap, Silkworm Chromosome Browser (SCB) and BmArray, were developed to access silkworm genomic data conveniently.
