Useful databases for nematologists<br />

WormBase (http://www.wormbase.org) is the central data<br />

repository for information about Caenorhabditis elegans and related<br />

nematodes. As a model organism database, WormBase extends<br />

beyond the genomic sequence, integrating experimental results<br />

with extensively annotated view <strong>of</strong> genome. WormBase also<br />

provides large array <strong>of</strong> research and analysis tools.<br />

NemaGene (http://www.nematode.net) is a web-accessible<br />

resource for investigating gene sequences from nematode<br />

genomes. The database is an outgrowth <strong>of</strong> the parasitic nematode<br />

EST project. ESTs (Expressed Sequence Tag) are usually shorter<br />

than the full-length mRNAs from which they are derived and are<br />

prone to sequencing errors. The database provides EST cluster<br />

consensus sequence, enhanced online BLAST search tools and<br />

functional classification <strong>of</strong> cluster sequences.
