The Seaurchin genome Database will be available after scientific publication
 

The Sea Urchin Genome is sequenced by the Baylor college of Medicine. Before using our Seaurchin genome Database please read the conditions for use: Conditions for use of Baylor College Sequences

Following the link Seaurchin Genome Database you have the opportunity to search the Strongylocentrotus purpuratus sea urchin genome sequence by keyword and retrieve blast search results and the corresponding  contig sequence. Blast searches were done locally against nrprot using  the  assembly of the seaurchin genome as of 14th April 2005, which were annotated using GO (click on the GO-tree link). We have also blasted our EST contigs to the gene preditctions made from the genome sequence and these results are searchable via the Seaurchin EST database link. Following the link Blast your sequence you can also blast your own sequence against the S.purpuratus MPI-ESTs (Sp-MPI-est) and all S.purpuratus ESTs (Sp-ALL_ESTs_CAP3_Assembly_14_2_06) available and the complete Genome sequence as of the assemblies 2005 and 2006.  Around 30.000 Gene models, representing about 20.000 genes  have been made using Genscan and GLEAN from the 2005 assembly (The sea urchin Genome consortium, unpublished). You can blast against them by selecting the database  Spurp-all-genes2005-Nuc to do nucleotide searches and Spurp-all-genes2005-Prot or Glean3 to do protein-protein searches.  Note also the new EST databases for the european sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus (Pliv*), see also http://goblet.molgen.mpg.de/cgi-bin/webapps/paracentrotus.cgi
