| Abstract: | Background wFleaBase is a database with the necessary infrastructure to curate, archive and share genetic, molecular and functional genomic
data and protocols for an emerging model organism, the microcrustacean Daphnia. Commonly known as the water-flea, Daphnia's ecological merit is unequaled among metazoans, largely because of its sentinel role within freshwater ecosystems and over
200 years of biological investigations. By consequence, the Daphnia Genomics Consortium (DGC) has launched an interdisciplinary research program to create the resources needed to study genes
that affect ecological and evolutionary success in natural environments. |
