Chameleabase the Chamelea gallina transcriptome database

Chameleabase reports results the first transcriptome sequencing and annotation of the bivalve mollusc Chamelea gallina. Chameleabase entries are centred on contig sequence and annotation. The database is searchable by contig ID, key words and BLAST.

Database entry description. For each contig, a gene-like entry reports the following data sections:

• Contig information (ID, description and FASTA sequence)
• Assembly (reads and ACE multiple alignment)
• Functional annotation (GO terms)
• BLAST results (BLASTX against nr and BLASTN against nt)): Description and Alignments

Example contig: http://compgen.bio.unipd.it/chameleabase/contig/Chamelea_rep_c41198/

The database is searchable by keywords or BLAST against contig sequences; massive and customized data retrival is allowed by the query system.

ChameleaBase is an open project developed by the Computational Genomics Laboratory and the Molecular Ecology Group of the University of Padova.
