Daphnia Water Flea
Genome Database


This web service provides gene and genomic information for species of Daphnia (the water flea).

The freshwater crustacean Daphnia is a model system for evolutionary / ecological genetics and genomics. This database includes data from all species of the genus, yet the primary species are D. pulex and D. magna because of the broad set of genomic tools that have already been developed for these taxa.

A complete sequence of the Daphnia pulex genome should be made available in the year 2004 by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Joint Genome Institute (JGI) in collaboration with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Daphnia Genomics Consortium (DGC).
