The NEMATODA PartiGene Databases

As part of our effort in PhyloGenomics, we have developed the PartiGene NEMBASE3 Database.

In NEMBASE3 you will find all the production-level nematode EST datasets we have analysed.

Here we provide access to

• small datasets that have not been published
• pilot experiments not yet incoproprated into NEMBASE3
• genome survey sequence datasets

Additional sources of nematode genome information are WORMBASE (C. elegans, C. briggsae, and other caenorhabditids) and NEMATODE.NET (the GSC Nematode EST programme). You might also care to look at the lovely Bursaphelenchus database at http://forestgen.ffpri.affrc.go.jp/

Website Highlight
Pratylenchus penetrans

The plant-parasitic nematode Pratylenchus penetrans .
Plant parasitic nematodes cause major economic losses worldwide. Pratylenchus penetrans is a migratory endoparasite of the roots of many crop species . See NEMBASE4 for analyses of ESTs from this parasite and many other nematodes.
