Abstract
Summary: MamMiBase, the mammalian mitochondrial genome database, is a relational database of complete mitochondrial genome sequences of mammalian species. The database is useful for phylogenetic analysis, since it allows a ready retrieval of nucleotide and aminoacid individual alignments, in three different formats (NEXUS for PAUP program, for MEGA program and for PHYLIP program) of the 13 protein coding mitochondrial genes. The user may download the sequences that are useful for him/her based on their parameters values, such as sequence length, p-distances, base content, transition transversion ratio, gamma, which are also given by MamMiBase. A simple phylogenetic tree (neighbor-joining tree with Jukes Cantor distance) is also available for download, useful for parameter calculations and other simple tasks.
