SchistoDB

SchistoDB (http://SchistoDB.net) is a genomic database for the parasitic organism Schistosoma mansoni, one of the major causative agents of schistosomiasis worldwide (1,2). It currently incorporates sequences and annotation for S. mansoni in a single user-friendly database. Several genomic scale analyses are available as well as ESTs, oligonucleotides, ORFs, metabolic pathways and drugs. The computational analysis we provide has helped genome annotation. The construction of a relational database containing the parasite genomic data enables us to perform and combine approximately 30 different queries and also provided access to several tools for analyzing, retrieving or viewing the data such as BLAST, PathwayTools (3) and GMOD Genome Browser (4).One highlight of the database is its integration to the metabolic pathway prediction generated using the SRI PathwayTools software (3). Pathway analysis allowed us to select putative drug target candidates. The database also contains all drugs available on the Kegg drug database (5), thus enabling us to indicate enzymes known to be targeted in other organisms.
