cBARBEL is an online open-access database for genome biology of Ictalurus spp.. It is a comprehensive, integrative platform for all aspects of catfish genetics, genomics and related data resources. cBARBEL provides BLAST-based, fuzzy and specific search functions, visualization of catfish linkage, physical and integrated maps, a catfish EST contig viewer with SNP information overlay, and GBrowse-based organization of catfish genomic data based on sequence similarity with zebrafish chromosomes.
cBARBEL provides links to simple daily-use informatics tools that database users may need while accessing cBARBEL, including the external NCBI BLAST server, SMART domain search, ClustalW-based multiple sequence alignments and basic nucleotide to amino acid translation. These tools are provided in-frame so that the user does not need to leave the cBARBEL site for small-scale sequence analysis. Publications relevant to catfish genomics and genetics are also linked. Additionally, the recently created Teleost Alternative Splicing Database (TASD) with alternative splicing data for catfish ESTs is linked to cBARBEL.
