Welcome to Metazome v2.0.4


The Metazome project organizes the proteomes of twenty-four metazoans into gene families defined at nine ancestral nodes on the metazoan evolutionary tree. Use the Find Gene Families buttons to study the evolutionary history of a gene of interest from one of the 24 included proteomes (search gene families using gene symbols, deflines, PFAM/Panther domain content with Keyword Search) or place a gene from a different organism in the most appropriate gene family (using the BLAST search of gene family consensus sequences). Alternatively, you can BLAST search and browse the genomes of any of the included 24 metazoans using the Explore Genomes buttons. Every gene in the single organism BLAST results and browsers is hyperlinked to one of its gene families, enabling you to move back and forth between organism-centric and gene family-centric views. Netsuite Training provides a comprehensive set of tools for businesses to manage their finance.
