Nematode Genome Resources

NCBI Web Resources:
Global Query. Query all
NCBI Entrez databases in
one step.
Site Search. Search NCBI's web sites and FTP sites.
BLAST. Blast your sequence against nematode-specific genomic sequence.
e-PCR. Check your sequence for STSs and view in genomic context.
Entrez Gene. Focal point for genes and associated information.
Genome Project. Complete and in-progress large-scale sequencing, assembly, annotation and mapping projects.
GEO DataSets. Experimental sets of GEO data.
Map Viewer. Interactive viewer for genome maps, sequence, and genes.
Taxonomy. The Taxonomy Browser hosts summaries of sequence resources and external links through NCBI's LinkOut.
Trace Archive. Collection of raw sequence traces from various sequencing projects for Caenorhabditis briggsae.

Welcome to the Nematode Genome Resources page. The nematode genomes are an important resource for gene discovery, impacting health, biology, and the growing field of comparative genomics. This page offers a gateway to nematode genome resources at NCBI and beyond.
We encourage your suggestions.
