mtocDB
mtocDB is a community resource for cell biologists interested in the the evolution of centrioles and centriole related structures. We aim to bridge the gap between structural morphology and molecular function by examining naturally occurring structural variation in a phylogenomic context. Our database currently contains over 300 Electron Microscopy (EM) images of centrioles and centriole related structures from almost 60 species, described by a controlled vocabulary allowing detailed description of the observed structures. This knowledge is supplemented by a manually curated list of proteins known to be involved in centriole assembly, their (putative) orthologs, and localization information.
