Welcome to visit the camelid genomics database (CamelDB).

  Camelid is defined as any of a family (Camelidae) of even-toed, ruminant mammals having a 3-chambered stomach. The seven extant species of the Camelidae family is including domesticated bactrian camel (C. bactrianus), wild bactrian camel (C. ferus), dromedary camel (C. dromedarius), guanaco (L. guanacoe), llama (L. glama), alpaca (V. pacos), vicuñas(V. vicugna). Although they are characterized by almost identical karyotypes (2n = 74), they display quite distinct phenotype in metabolism due to local adaptations.

  CamelDB is designed to provide comprehensively resources for basic science and applied medicine research based on camelid genome, which may offer considerable value in various scientific and applied fields such as evolutionary exploration, extreme environment adaptation, agricultural breeding and antibody therapy. It provides genome assemblies, single nucleotide variants, antibody gene and protein information, as well as collinearity relationship between genomes for camelid species.
