The dung beetle E. intermedius is a member of the highly diverse order, coleoptera that diverged before the break-up of Gondwanaland some 500 million years ago. These beetles inhabit microbe-rich environs and live on juice and microbes from the dung. They have important benefits in agriculture and the ecosystem. Therefore they have the potential of being useful models for the study of infectious agents and ecological damage. Despite these evolutionary attributes, biological and environmental potentials, these beetles have thus far not been studied at the molecular level. The E. intermedius database contains EST sequences of the adult transcriptome.
The biased EST database contains differentially expressed genes in response to specific perturbations on the cell. The EST information will be updated as new data are added.
