Comparasite -- a database for comparative study of transcriptomes of parasites defined by full-length cDNAs
What you can do:
Conduct comparative studies of Apicomplexan transcriptomes.
Highlights:
- Comparasite is a database for comparative studies of transcriptomes of parasites in which each data is defined by the full-length cDNAs from various apicomplexan parasites.
- As an integrated database of the original full-length cDNA sequence data, it consists of seven sub-databases of apicomplexa protozoa, Plasmodium falciparum(12,484 cDNA sequences), Plasmodium yoelii (11,262 sequences), Plasmodium vivax (9,633 sequences), Plasmodium berghei (1,518 sequences), Toxoplasma gondii (7,400 sequences), Cryptosporidium parvum (5,921 sequences) and a tapeworm, Echinococcus multilocularis (10,966 sequences).
- Homologous gene groups are clustered and comparative analysis of any combination of these seven species is implemented, such as interspecies comparisons as to cellular localization, motifs or transmembrane regions and so on.
