Aim of IxoriDB
The main objective of IxoriDB is to provide the scientific community with an useful and accessible tool for the user that allows obtaining information on one or more Ixodes ricinus sequences quickly and easily. To do so, the database counts with a transcriptome assembled from 88 Ixodes ricinus samples as well as expression and function data of the sequences of this transcriptome.
In this way, IxoriDB allows you to search its local database in order to obtain information for one or more proteins or sequences. The information obtainable varies from expression data in different tissues and feeding stages of the tick, to functional annotation and different features of the proteins encoded by the different transcripts in our transcriptome.
Get started!Browse IxoriDB
Browse the different transcripts and proteins encoded by them using either the Transcript ID or the protein ID from Uniprot or TickSialoFam. You can also browse our database using different features as the family of the encoded protein, whether it is putatively secreted or not or if it has an specific GO term associated, among others.
This way, you can access to all the features and expression information of the proteins/transcripts of interests.
Blast Sequences
Blast your sequences with our database and find which of our transcripts are the ones with the best homology to them.
You can then access to all the expression and features information of the transcripts of interests by clicking on them.
Get Annotation
Use a comma-separated list of IDs to get the annotation of your desired set set of transcripts from IxoriDB.
You will get a table with information about the annotation of the transcripts (protein that encode, GO terms, Interpro domains, SignalP, etc.).
