Update to InsectBase 3.0
the most comprehensive gene resource for insects in world
InsectBase 3.0, covering 2,820 insect species, includes 16 various types of insect omics data, with newly introduced resources such as protein structure data, 3D imaging data, and genome resequencing-based variant data. The user interface and online analysis tools have also been comprehensively upgraded.
The database now spans 2,221 species from 22 insect orders and includes newly integrated omics datasets
418 new species' genome assemblies and annotations were added to the Genome module, together with micro-CT data of 5 pests.
With totally web framework upgrade, InsectBase 2.0, covering 815 insect genomes, 25 805 transcriptomes and >16 million genes, including 15 045 111 coding sequences, 112 162 miRNAs and 1 293 430 lncRNAs.
InsectBase was established to fill the gap in insect genomic resources by systematically organizing and standardizing nearly all available data at the time, including 138 insect genomes, 116 transcriptomes, and other genomic datasets.
