Blaxter Lab Databases
The following databases are served from the Blaxter Lab. Most are based on analyses of ESTs or GSSs from "neglected taxa" using the PartiGene suite of programmes. Please contact us at nematodebioinf@ed.ac.uk if you experience problems or would like access to these databases other than through the www.

The key nematode transcriptome analysis database, including over 60 species and 250000 different putative genes. |

This version (NemBase3) has been superceded by NEMBASE4, but we leave the database available as we have published analyses using it.. |

Website Highlight
The plant-parasitic nematode
Xiphinema index
.
Plant parasitic nematodes cause major economic losses worldwide.
Xiphinema index
is a migratory endoparasite of the roots of
many crop species, and transmits dangerous plant viruses
. See NEMBASE4 for analyses of ESTs from this parasite and many other nematodes.
