About BeetleBase
BeetleBase is being developed as an important community resource for Tribolium genetics, genomics and developmental biology.The database is built on the Chado generic data model, and is able to store various types of data, ranging from genome sequences to mutant phenotypes. Web interfaces are being designed to allow public access to the curated and integrated data in the database.
