Did you know how useful BioMart is?
Perhaps you don't even know what BioMart is. Don't worry, we'll explain everything right here. First, do you need BioMart? Well, if you need information about more than a handful of genes or if you need to filter a large number of genes using some specific criterion, then the answer is yes. In fact, BioMart is exactly these two things (listing and filtering) and nothing else. VectorBase BioMart has just been updated for An. gambiae and Ae. aegypti so that you can list and filter most of the information shown in the genome browsers, such as genomic location, InterPro domains, signal peptides, Gene Ontology, microarray reporter IDs, orthologs etc. Come and try our BioMart – we’ve even written some examples of queries for you to try!
Updated on February 2014: VectorBase BioMart has all our released genomes, except for Anopheles stephensi Indian, however we have A. stephensi SDA-500, which is the reference genome for this species. If you would like to know more about how to use BioMart for your queries, follow this link for a tutorial with a sample exercise, additionally we also have for you a sample file and more practice exercises.
