AppaDB: an AcedB database for the nematode satellite organism Pristionchus pacificus.
Pristionchus pacificus is a free-living nematode of the Diplogastridae family and was recently developed as a satellite system in evolutionary developmental biology. AppaDB, a P.pacificus database, was created (http://appadb.eb.tuebingen. mpg.de) to integrate the genomic data of P.pacificus, comprising the physical map, genetic linkage map, EST and BAC end sequence and hybridization data. This developing database serves as a repository to search and find any information regarding physical contigs or genetic markers required for mapping of mutants. Additionally, it provides a platform for the Caenorhabditis elegans community to compare nematode genetic data in an evolutionary perspective.
