The rise of transcriptome sequencing has provided aquaculture researchers with a wealth of genomic data, owing to its efficiency, applicability across species and quantification of gene expression. The resulting datasets are a rich source of information that can be mined for many years into the future, with each experiment exposing new insights into the animals’ biology. In order to support access to these data, we present our web platform “CrustyBase” which allows researchers to search for genetic sequences across a curated set of transcriptomic experiments. The service reports the sequence of the target gene in each of these experiments and, more importantly, the gene expression between samples. This provides the researcher with immediate biological insights into their genes of interest across a range of biological conditions. Here we present an overview of the application features, a case study explored through the database and our future plans for the service.
