Conclusion
Fourmidable currently houses EST data from two ant species and microarray gene expression data for one of these.
Supporting Evidence
- Fourmidable provides a central repository for ant genomic data.
- The database includes detailed assembly and annotation of nucleic acid sequences from ants.
- It houses gene expression data for the fire ant and the black garden ant.
Takeaway
Fourmidable is a website that helps scientists study ant genes and their functions by providing a lot of genetic information about ants.
Methodology
The database processes nucleotide sequences for two ant species, providing assembly and annotation of sequences, and includes a repository for microarray experiments.
