EPGD -- Eukaryotic Paralog Group Database

URL:

http://epgd.biosino.org/EPGD/

What you can do:

Find eukaryotic paralog/paralogon information.

Highlights:

Here we describe a sophisticated procedure to extract duplicated genes (paralogs) from 26 available eukaryotic genomes, to pre-calculate several evolutionary indexes (evolutionary rate, synonymous distance/clock, transition redundant exchange clock, etc.) based on the paralog family, and to identify block or segmental duplications (paralogons).
The database is gene-centered and organized by paralog family. It focuses on paralogs and evolutionary duplication events.
The paralog families and paralogons can be searched by text or sequence, and are downloadable from the website as plain text files.
The database will be very useful for both experimentalists and bioinformaticians interested in the study of duplication events or paralog families.
