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 datasetsAdditional 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/

...other interesting things... 
The dog heartworm Dirofilaria immitis. Filarial nematodes are tissue and gut parasites of a wide range of vertebrates, including humans. This species is a canine parasite and gets its common name of "heartworm" because the adults reside in the heart. It is closely related tospecies, such as O. volvulus, that cause human diseases, affecting over 120 million people. See NEMBASE3 for analyses of ESTs from this parasite and many other nematodes. |
