Graphical overview of the user-web interface for ZoophyteBase during a typical search. The home page allows several search functions (A). Text queries using an intelligent Google-like search engine is illustrated by using the query “phagocytosis” (B). This finds 42 hits to KEGG orthologue profiles. One of the hits corresponds to amphiphysin with annotation of two protein homologues encoded in the coral genome. On the data page there is a brief description of the function of amphiphysin together with a PUBMED literature reference. The sequences of the predicted coral proteins can be retrieved (C).
