This Intronerator is under development 2003-04-15.
There is a newer Intronerator with data for
WormBase version 120, March 2004
Welcome to the Intronerator - a collection of tools for exploring the molecular biology and genomics of C. elegans with a special emphasis on alternative splicing. Please cite W. Jim Kent and Al M .Zahler, "The Intronerator: exploring introns and alternative splicing in C. elegans," Nucleic Acids Research Jan. 1, 2000; 28(1):91-93 and "Conservation, Regulation, Synteny, and Introns in a Large-scale C. briggsae-C. elegans Genomic Alignment" in Genome Research August, 2000; 10(8):1115-1125
Tracks Display- View splicing diagrams for any gene in the Sanger C. elegans database alongside cDNA and EST alignments. Retrieve DNA sequences with the exons in upper case. Search the literature.
Worm Align - Paste in a piece of cDNA and see where it aligns with the C. elegans genome.
Alt-Splicing Catalog - A catalog of genes for which the cDNA and EST evidence indicates alternative splicing. NOTICE: This listing has not been curated. It is an automated guess at this point.
Intron Database - Scan ends of introns and neighboring exons for patterns.
Algorithms - descriptions of the algorithms used to develop the Intronerator.
Nameless Clusters - cDNA and ESTs that align with the genomic data, but are not within 1000 bp of named genes or open reading frames.
Download Data - Download FA, GFF, etc files used in database.
Other tools:
- FuzzyFinder - align cDNA (or other) sequence with another sequence.
- DnaDuster - reformat DNA and strip non-sequence characters and words.
- ProteinDuster - reformat protein sequences and strip non-sequence characters.
- PrimeMate - (PrimeMate is down due to overloaded web server).
- GetDNA - retrieve DNA for ESTs, genes, ORFs, cosmids and ranges of a chromosome.
