Invertebrate Homologous Genes Database
What you can do:
Search for information on homologous invertebrate genes.
Highlights:
- INVertebrate HOmologous GENes (INVHOGEN) is a database combining the available invertebrate protein genes from UniProt (consisting of Swiss-Prot and TrEMBL) into gene families.
- For each family INVHOGEN provides a multiple protein alignment, a maximum likelihood based phylogenetic tree and taxonomic information about the sequences. It is possible to download the corresponding GenBank flat files, the alignment and the tree in Newick format.
- Sequences and related information have been structured in an ACNUC database under a client/server architecture. Thus, complex selections can be performed.
- An external graphical tool (FamFetch) allows access to the data to evaluate homology relationships between genes and distinguish orthologous from paralogous sequences.
