InSatDb -- a microsatellite database of fully sequenced insect genomes
What you can do:
Search for information on microsatellite characteristics of five fully sequenced insect genomes (fruit-fly, honeybee, malarial mosquito, red-flour beetle and silkworm).
Highlights:
- InSatDb allows users to obtain microsatellites annotated with size (in base pairs and repeat units); genomic location (exon, intron, up-stream or transposon); nature (perfect or imperfect); and sequence composition (repeat motif and GC%).
- Microsatellite cluster (compound repeats) information and a list of microsatellites with conserved flanking sequences (microsatellite family or paralogs) can also be accessed.
- nSatDb is complete with the insects information, web links to find details, methodology and a tutorial.
- A separate Analysis section illustrates the comparative genomic analysis that can be carried out using the InSatDb output.
