OGRe Database On The Fly

Organellar Genome Retrieval(OGRe) database was originally designed based on a collection of complete metazoan mitochondrial genomes by Dr. Higgs group in Bioinformatics at the University of Manchester. Since its first release in 2003, it has been updated several times. First, the host of OGRe database has been relocated to McMaster University and the World Wide Web address of OGRe has been set up permanently as http://ogre.mcmaster.ca. Second, the amount of stored data has increased significantly from 261 to 473 metazoan organisms and all related information has been updated. Third, new graphic tools that allow the manipulation of base frequencies, codon frequencies and amino acid frequencies for any set of selected species from OGRe have been developed. Lastly, several improvements that provide a better layout and make OGRe easy to navigate have taken place. For detail, check it out here. BTW, I was the major designer of the second version of OGRe.
