Welcome to the Non-Model Insect Sequence Database, a specialized resource for researchers studying the vast and diverse world of insects beyond the standard laboratory models.
The goal of this project is to provide a centralized, curated, and easy-to-use platform for accessing protein and nucleotide sequence data for non-model insect species. While model organisms like Drosophila melanogaster have extensive, well-annotated databases, researchers working on other species often face the challenge of fragmented and difficult-to-access data. This tool aims to bridge that gap.
Our database includes sequences gathered from public repositories such as NCBI, focusing on species from under-represented insect orders.
