## Description

**Echinobase: The Echinoderm Knowledgebase**

Echinobase is an essential online resource designed to support the international research community focused on echinoderms, a diverse group of marine species including sea urchins and starfish. This platform serves as a centralized hub for functional genomics data, offering in-depth gene information, genome sequences, and unique insights into echinoderm anatomy and development through the Echinoderm Anatomy and Development Ontology (ECAO).

Echinobase facilitates the exploration of genetic and anatomical data with features like the GENEPAGE, which links genes, orthologs, and related research papers. The platform is equipped with a genome browser, JBrowse, that allows users to access temporal developmental gene expression data and visualize associated cell type information. 

Additionally, Echinobase enhances the visibility of echinoderm research by providing critical data sharing infrastructure, creating a bridge between specialized researchers and the broader biomedical community. As it continues to expand, Echinobase is committed to supporting both fully and partially supported species in their scientific endeavors.
