Cichlid Genomics
Resources:
Cichlid
Functional Genomics Database (temporarily unavailable)
A comprehensive searchable database for the Astatotilapia
burtoni cDNA microarray platform, constructed by the Hofmann
Lab with support from NIGMS. The database connects all ESTs and
contigs to pertinent information such as physical location, array
coordinates, annotations (BLAST scores and names) and GO categories.
In addition to providing standard queries, it can also be queried
using SQL code.
Cichlid
BLAST Server
This
BLAST server allows the user to enter any sequence in FASTA format
and find similar sequences among all publicly available cichlid
ESTs and genomic sequences (~60,000 as of June 2006). This resource
uses the well-known NCBI interface and blastn algorithm.
Cichlid
Genome Consortium
This site, maintained by Tom Kocher, has the latest
news about an international consortium of cichlid researchers working
to obtain whole-genome sequence of one or more cichlid species and
other tools for cichlid genomics.
Comparative
Mapping Tools
This system was built by the Kocher lab mostly for
comparative mapping among cichlids, and between cichlids and the
relatively complete sequences of model fishes such as zebrafish,
pufferfish, and medaka..

(beta version)
A searchable database that contains information on
the biology and natural history of Lake Tanganyikan cichlids. This
is a pilot project that was made possible in part by NSF grant 0217915.
We plan to include more information, including phylogenetic relationships,
as well as species from other lakes and river systems in the future.
