The Holometabola Insects Phylogenetic Database (HIP-DB) is a
molecular phylogenetics resource for DNA-taxonomy of this group. Users
can access a database of nucleotide sequences for all commonly used
markers available at Genbank in a format that can be utilised
immediately in molecular systematics and DNA taxonomy. Unaligned
sequences or pre-built concatenated data matrices for all commonly
sequenced phylogenetic markers, as well as the trees built from them,
can be downloaded and users are also able to upload their own sequences
and conduct sequence similarity searches against the database.
Finally the site will offer access to bespoke PERL scripts and tools
specifically designed to aid construction and analysis of large
phylogenetic datasets and will also act as a focal point for
DNA-taxonomy research in the Insecta.
