Databases updated to include 10 more invertebrate species

With one week delay, I have updated all the databases for searches at aLeaves. This reflects inclusion of new species at EnsemblMetazoa release 31 listed below.

• Belgica antarctica (Antarctic midge)
• Bombus impatiens (common bumblebee)
• Lepeophtheirus salmonis (salmon louse)
• Lingula anatina (a brachiopod)
• Lucilia cuprina (Australian sheep blowfly)
• Octopus bimaculoides (California two-spot octopus)
• Sarcoptes scabiei (itch mite): gene set SscaA1.1 from VectorBase
• Stegodyphus mimosarum (African social velvet spider)
• Strongyloides ratti (parasitic nematode): from WormBase WS250
• Thelohanellus kitauei (a myxosporean)

To see where these individual species are categorized, please refer to the Species page (marked with '*') at the server.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any question, bug report, or request of adding more species.

aLeaves Databases Update Scheduled

Let me announce to you that I plan to update the aLeaves databases next Monday on the 27th - it has been more than a year since the last update.

This time, ten invertebrate species new to Ensembl Metazoa will be added to the aLeaves species list. In addition, as usual, gene sets for some species will be revised, thanks to new Ensembl gene build, and new sequences in NCBI GenPept will be included in the database 7 and 13.
