EuMicroSatdb -- Eukaryotic MicroSatellite database
What you can do:
A database for microsatellites in the sequenced genomes of eukaryotes.
Highlights:
- A user friendly web interface has been developed for microsatellite data retrieval using Active Server Pages (ASP).
- The backend database codes for data extraction and assembly have been written using Perl based scripts and C++. P
- recise need based microsatellites data retrieval is possible using different input parameters like microsatellite type (simple perfect or compound perfect), repeat unit length (mono- to hexa-nucleotide), repeat number, microsatellite length and chromosomal location in the genome.
- Furthermore, information about clustering of different microsatellites in the genome can also be retrieved.
- Finally, to facilitate primer designing for PCR amplification of any desired microsatellite locus, 200 bp upstream and downstream sequences are provided.
- The database allows easy systematic retrieval of comprehensive information about simple and compound microsatellites, microsatellite clusters and their locus coordinates in 31 sequenced eukaryotic genomes.
- The information content of the database is useful in different areas of research like gene tagging, genome mapping, population genetics, germplasm characterization and in understanding microsatellite dynamics in eukaryotic genomes.
