Abstract

Abstract Background RNA sequencing takes advantage of the Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technologies for analyzing RNA transcript counts with an excellent accuracy. Trying to interpret this huge amount of data in biological information is still a key issue, reason for which the creation of web-resources useful for their analysis is highly desiderable. Results Starting from a previous work, Transcriptator, we present theAtlas ofHydra's vulgaris, an extensible web tool in which its complete transcriptome is annotated. In order to provide to the users an advantageous resource that include the whole functional annotated transcriptome ofHydra vulgaris water polyp, we implemented theAtlas web-tool contains 31.988 accesible and downloadable transcripts of this non-reference model organism. Conclusion Atlas, as a freely available resource, can be considered a valuable tool to rapidly retrieve functional annotation for transcripts differentially expressed inHydra vulgaris exposed to the distinct experimental treatments.
