Received August 11, 2006. Revised September 27, 2006. Accepted September 29, 2006.
InSatDb presents an interactive interface to query information regarding microsatellite characteristics per se of five fully sequenced insect genomes (fruit-fly, honeybee, malarial mosquito, red-flour beetle and silkworm). InSatDb allows users to obtain microsatellites annotated with size (in base pairs and repeat units); genomic location (exon, intron, up-stream or transposon); nature (perfect or imperfect); and sequence composition (repeat motif and GC%). One can access microsatellite cluster (compound repeats) information and a list of microsatellites with conserved flanking sequences (microsatellite family or paralogs). InSatDb is complete with the insects information, web links to find details, methodology and a tutorial. A separate ‘Analysis’ section illustrates the comparative genomic analysis that can be carried out using the output. InSatDb is available at www.cdfd.org.in/insatdb.
The authors wish to be known that, in their opinion, the second and third authors should be regarded as joint Second Authors
