NATsDB -- Natural Antisense Transcripts DataBase
What you can do:
Search for natural antisense transcripts (NATs) in human, mouse, fly and other eukaryotic genomes.
Highlights:
- This comprehensive database contains information on cis-encoded exon-overlapping sense-antisense (SA) gene pairs in human (7356), mouse (6806), fly (1554), and eight other eukaryotic species (total 6534).
- NATsDB also includes non-exon-overlapping bidirectional (NOB) genes and non-bidirectional (NBD) genes.
- It provides extensive information about gene structures, poly(A) signals and tails, phastCons conservation, homologues in other species, repeat elements, expressed sequence tag (EST) expression profiles and OMIM disease association.
- NATsDB supports interactive graphical display of the alignment of all supporting EST and mRNA transcripts of the SA and NOB genes to the genomic loci.
- Users can search using species, gene name, sequence accession number, chromosome location, coding potential, OMIM association and sequence similarity.
