OrthoMaM -- orthologous mammalian markers

What you can do:

A database of orthologous genomic markers for placental mammal phylogenetics.

Highlights:

The EnsEMBL database was used to determine a set of orthologous genes from 12 available complete mammalian genomes.
As targets for possible amplification and sequencing in additional taxa, more than 3,000 exons of length > 400 bp have been selected, among which 118, 368, 608, and 674 are respectively retrieved for 12, 11, 10, and 9 species.
A bioinformatic pipeline has been developed to provide evolutionary descriptors for these candidate markers in order to assess their potential phylogenetic utility.
Our database centered on complete genome information now makes possible to select promising markers to a given phylogenetic question or a systematic framework by querying a number of evolutionary descriptors.
