BPH genome databases and resources

BPH genome databases and resources are essential tools in application of genome research in insect pest management. The UNKA (BPH) EST Database representing various cDNA libraries from different tissues and developmental stages has been constructed. The EST data are accessible by key words, clone names and Gene Ontology terms. The entries are also deposited in the public databases. We have also constructed a genetic linkage map for brown planthopper by integrating linkage data from two backcross populations derived from three inbred BPH strains. The consensus map consists of 474 simple sequence repeats, 43 single-nucleotide polymorphisms, and 1 sequence-tagged site, for a total of 518 markers at 472 unique positions in 17 linkage groups. Details on the genetic map and markers can be accessed via the BPH Maps and Markers Database.
