Searching across hundreds of databases
Arthropods interact with humans at different levels with highly beneficial roles (e.g. as pollinators), as well as with a negative impact for example as vectors of human or animal diseases, or as agricultural pests. Several arthropod genomes are available at present and many others will be sequenced in the near future in the context of the i5K initiative, offering opportunities for reconstructing, modelling and comparing their metabolic networks. In-depth analysis of these genomic data through metabolism reconstruction is expected to contribute to a better understanding of the biology of arthropods, thereby allowing the development of new strategies to control harmful species. In this context, we present here ArthropodaCyc, a dedicated BioCyc collection of databases using the Cyc annotation database system (CycADS), allowing researchers to perform reliable metabolism comparisons of fully sequenced arthropods genomes. Since the annotation quality is a key factor when performing such global genome comparisons, all proteins from the genomes included in the ArthropodaCyc database were re-annotated using several annotation tools and orthology information. All functional/domain annotation results and their sources were integrated in the databases for user access. Currently, ArthropodaCyc offers a centralized repository of metabolic pathways, protein sequence domains, Gene Ontology annotations as well as evolutionary information for 28 arthropod species. Such database collection allows metabolism analysis both with integrated tools and through extraction of data in formats suitable for systems biology studies.Database URL: http://arthropodacyc.cycadsys.org/.

View all literature mentionsA centralized sequence database and community resource for Tribolium genetics, genomics and developmental biology containing genomic sequence scaffolds mapped to 10 linkage groups, genetic linkage maps, the official gene set, Reference Sequences from NCBI (RefSeq), predicted gene models, ESTs and whole-genome tiling array data representing several developmental stages. The current version of Beetlebase is built on the Tribolium castaneum 3.0 Assembly (Tcas 3.0) released by the Human Genome Sequencing Center at the Baylor College of Medicine. The database is constructed using the upgraded Generic Model Organism Database (GMOD) modules. The genomic data is stored in a PostgreSQL relational database using the Chado schema and visualized as tracks in GBrowse. The genetic map is visualized using the comparative genetic map viewer CMAP. To enhance search capabilities, the BLAST search tool has been integrated with the GMOD tools. Tribolium castaneum is a very sophisticated genetic model organism among higher eukaryotes. As the member of a primitive order of holometabolous insects, Coleoptera, Tribolium is in a key phylogenetic position to understand the genetic innovations that accompanied the evolution of higher forms with more complex development. Coleoptera is also the largest and most species diverse of all eukaryotic orders and Tribolium offers the only genetic model for the profusion of medically and economically important species therein. The genome sequences may be downloaded.

Users can browse by organism, and view genome maps and protein clusters. Links to other prokaryotic and archaeal genome projects, as well as BLAST tools and access to the rest of the NCBI online resources are available.
View all literature mentionswFleaBase provides gene and genomic information for species of the genus Daphnia - commonly known as the water flea. It contains the genome of Daphnia pulex and other species, including bulk data files, and all gene pages, plus genomics tools including microsatellites, cDNA, Cosmid and BAC libraries, GSS and ESTs, and microarrays. It also contains maps of the Daphnia genome, and genome annotation tools. The freshwater crustacean Daphnia is a model system for ecology, evolution and the environmental sciences. The rapidly growing genomic data for this organism is stimulating interdisciplinary research to understand the complex interplay between genome structure, gene expression, individual fitness, and population-level responses to chemical contaminants and environmental change.wFleaBase includes data from all species of the genus, yet the primary species are D. pulex and D. magna, because of the broad set of genomic tools that have already been developed for these animals. A complete sequence for Daphnia pulex is now available at this site. Please observe this Data release policy. The data is a first characterization of the crustacean genome, which was made possible by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Joint Genome Institute (JGI) in collaboration with the Daphnia Genomics Consortium (DGC) whose members were funded by the National Science Foundation.

View all literature mentionsDatabase storing and integrating genomic data of diamondback moth (DBM), Plutella xylostella (L.). It provides comprehensive search tools and downloadable datasets for scientists to study comparative genomics, biological interpretation and gene annotation of this insect pest. DBM-DB contains assembled transcriptome datasets from multiple DBM strains and developmental stages, and the annotated genome of P. xylostella (version 2). They have also integrated publically available ESTs from NCBI and a putative gene set from a second DBM genome (KONAGbase) to enable users to compare different gene models. DBM-DB was developed with the capacity to incorporate future data resources, and will serve as a long-term and open-access database that can be conveniently used for research on the biology, distribution and evolution of DBM. This resource aims to help reduce the impact DBM has on agriculture using genomic and molecular tools.

View all literature mentionsTHIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented May 10, 2017. A pilot effort that has developed a centralized, web-based biospecimen locator that presents biospecimens collected and stored at participating Arizona hospitals and biospecimen banks, which are available for acquisition and use by researchers. Researchers may use this site to browse, search and request biospecimens to use in qualified studies. The development of the ABL was guided by the Arizona Biospecimen Consortium (ABC), a consortium of hospitals and medical centers in the Phoenix area, and is now being piloted by this Consortium under the direction of ABRC. You may browse by type (cells, fluid, molecular, tissue) or disease. Common data elements decided by the ABC Standards Committee, based on data elements on the National Cancer Institute''s (NCI''s) Common Biorepository Model (CBM), are displayed. These describe the minimum set of data elements that the NCI determined were most important for a researcher to see about a biospecimen. The ABL currently does not display information on whether or not clinical data is available to accompany the biospecimens. However, a requester has the ability to solicit clinical data in the request. Once a request is approved, the biospecimen provider will contact the requester to discuss the request (and the requester''s questions) before finalizing the invoice and shipment. The ABL is available to the public to browse. In order to request biospecimens from the ABL, the researcher will be required to submit the requested required information. Upon submission of the information, shipment of the requested biospecimen(s) will be dependent on the scientific and institutional review approval. Account required. Registration is open to everyone.. Documented on August 20,2019.A database of integrated genome resources for the silkworm, Bombyx mori. This database provides access to not only genomic data including functional annotation of genes, gene products and chromosomal mapping, but also extensive biological information such as microarray expression data, ESTs and corresponding references. SilkDB will be useful for the silkworm research community as well as comparative genomics. Recently, an international collaboration has been launched to assemble a complete silkworm genome sequence, which is based on the 6� and 3� draft genome sequences created by Chinese group and Japanese group in 2004 (Mita et al., 2004; Xia et al., 2004), respectively. The genome assembly quality has been greatly improved. Base on a high density SNP genetic map, over 80% of genome sequence could be mapped on 28 chromosomes of the silkworm. The first version of SilkDB was released in 2004. Since that time, the silkworm has become a focus in insect research community and the study of silkworm has been greatly accelerated. Now, we are happy to announce the release of a new version of SilkDB, which updated all of the data, added new information of genome sequence and genes, and provides new tools to facilitate use of the genome database.
