EuphausiiDB: A TRANSCRIPTOMIC REFERENCE DATABASE FOR KRILL SPECIES

With 85 species, the Euphausiidae is the largest family in the order Euphausiacea (86 species). Euphausiids, commonly called "krill", are the main prey for many seabirds, fish, and marine mammals, and they represent both a direct link between the extreme levels of the food chain and its pillar. They are also a good model organism, given their geographical diversity and wide distribution within the ocean latitudes. to study the diversity of physiological adaptations to temperature.
The EuphausiiDB portal offers the possibility for users to explore the database by using “simple” and “advanced” search functions for a specific taxonomic level, a specific geographic location or project origin, and soon, a specific annotation. Statistical interactive charts, readsets location maps and tables, and the resulting list of datasets are associated with the search functions. For each selected dataset, the user can access readset and assembly short summary pages with cross-references to external databases (EBI SRA, NCBI taxID, WORMS), which allow better traceability and homogeneity across databases, as well as the possibility of downloading all resulting files...
