WildSilkbase -- an EST database of wild silkmoths

What you can do:
A BLAST searchable catalog of expressed sequence tags generated from several tissues of wild silkmoths at different developmental stages.
Highlights:
  • WildSilkbase is a catalogue of ESTs generated from several tissues at different developmental stages of 3 economically important saturniid silkmoths, an Indian golden silkmoth, Antheraea assama, an Indian tropical tasar silkmoth, A. mylitta and eri silkmoth, Samia cynthia ricini.
  • Currently the database is provided with 57,113 ESTs which are clustered and assembled into 4,019 contigs and 10,019 singletons.
  • Data can be browsed and downloaded using a standard web browser.
  • Users can search the database either by BLAST query, keywords or Gene Ontology query.
  • There are options to carry out searches for species, tissue and developmental stage specific ESTs in BLAST page.
  • Other features of the WildSilkbase include cSNP discovery, GO viewer, homologue finder, SSR finder and links to all other related databases.
