BeetleBase (http://www.beetlebase.org) has been updated to provide more comprehensive genomic information for the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum. The database contains genomic sequence scaffolds mapped to 10 linkage groups (genome assembly release Tcas_3.0), genetic linkage maps, the official gene set, Reference Sequences from NCBI (RefSeq), predicted gene models, ESTs and whole-genome tiling array data representing several developmental stages. The database was reconstructed using the upgraded Generic Model Organism Database (GMOD) modules. The genomic data is stored in a PostgreSQL relatational database using the Chado schema and visualized as tracks in GBrowse. The updated genetic map is visualized using the comparative genetic map viewer CMAP. To enhance the database search capabilities, the BLAST and BLAT search tools have been integrated with the GMOD tools. BeetleBase serves as a long-term repository for Tribolium genomic data, and is compatible with other model organism databases.
已更新 BeetleBase（http://www.beetlebase.org），以提供更全面的基因组信息给红粉甲虫 Tribolium castaneum。该数据库包含映射到 10 个连锁群的基因组序列支架（基因组组装版本 Tcas_3.0）、遗传连锁图谱、官方基因集、来自 NCBI 的参考序列（RefSeq）、预测的基因模型、ESTs 和代表多个发育阶段的全基因组平铺阵列数据。该数据库是使用升级后的通用模型生物数据库（GMOD）模块重建的。基因组数据使用 Chado 模式存储在 PostgreSQL 关系数据库中，并在 GBrowse 中显示为轨道。更新的遗传图谱使用比较遗传图谱查看器 CMAP 进行可视化。为了增强数据库搜索功能，BLAST 和 BLAT 搜索工具已与 GMOD 工具集成。BeetleBase 是 Tribolium 基因组数据的长期存储库，与其他模式生物数据库兼容。
