The Adaptive Evolution Database (TAED) -- a phylogeny based tool for comparative genomics
What you can do:
Search for information on adaptive evolution in gene families of higher plants and chordate.
Highlights:
- TAED consists of 4,294 higher plant and 15,452 chordate gene families.
- For each of these families, multiple sequence alignments, phylogenetic trees, ratios of nonsynonymous to synonymous nucleotide substitution rates (Ka/Ks), mappings from gene trees to the NCBI taxonomy (mapped only to the most recent branch possible), and structural links to solved three dimensional protein structures in PDB with Grantham-weighted mutational factors were all calculated.
- The gene families themselves can be accessed through the links below. A taxonomic link-in is also available to view all families with Ka/Ks>>1 occurring along the same lineage together with a tie to the appropriate gene families.
