ZooGene
TM database
The ZooGeneTM
database is designed as a searchable,
web-based database integrated with the NCBI GenBank
molecular database and with other OBIS databases
Uses for
and research applications of the ZooGeneTM
database
include:
-
uniform
standards of species' identification
-
evaluation of the taxonomic significance of geographic variation
-
identification of cryptic species
-
accurate estimation of species' diversity
-
reconstruction of evolutionary relationships
-
design of
rapid molecularly-based species identification protocols
