Resources
The Echinobase Resources serve to support the community by collecting data, protocols and other resources that are then shared using the EchinoWiki and FTP site.
- Protocols
- Reagents
- Genomes
- Gene Page Reports
Community
In order to support the Community and to enable interdisciplinary and collaborative studies, research, descriptions and contact information of community members and groups are available and searchable.
- Members
- Labs
- Organizations
- Job openings
Literature
Literature on Echinobase is collected by automatically searching published papers using echinoderm query terms.
Retrieved articles are then manually curated.
- Collected automatically
- Curated manually
Genomics
Echinobase is a resource for genomics research that is organized by Gene models and represented using Genepages. Each genepage has a tremendous amount of gene specific information that I will overview here.
Genomics - Search and BLAST tools are available directly or through the GENEPAGES.
GENEPAGES display gene model HGNC compliant names, orthology, GO terms and link to BLAST, the JBrowse genome browser, and a gene expression plotting tool.
Tabs beyond the summary provide gene specific literature, transcripts, expression data, protein sequences and interactants.
Genomic research tools are implemented to assist browsing, search and analysis and visualization of genomic sequence assemblies, annotations and features. Additionally, gene expression data collection, search and visualization is provided.
