MonarchBase - Geneset
http://monarchbase.umassmed.edu/geneset.html
The latest official geneset OGS2.0, which is based on the v3 assembly, consists of 15,130 genes. Query details for monarch genes. The complete information for each monarch OGS2.0 gene can be tracked here. For a specific search, input the monarch gene ID in the correct format. MonarchBase can also list all candidates with related annotation, which includes input key words. If you are interested in the old version, we also provide access for all OGS1.0 genes.

MonarchBase - Migratory profiles
http://monarchbase.umassmed.edu/profile.html
Microarray analysis of unique cDNA sequences in a monarch brain EST library has been performed ( Zhu et al., 2009. By treating migrants with a juvenile hormone (JH) analog, it was possible to isolate genes involved in sun compass-oriented flight (not affected by JH status) from those involved in other, JH-dependent aspects of the migration, like reproductive function and longevity. MonarchBase has integrated these migratory profiles to the OGS2.0 geneset. Query details for monarch ESTs. P 0001 * *.

MonarchBase - MicroRNAs
http://monarchbase.umassmed.edu/miRNA.html
Because summer and migratory butterflies share the same genome, changes in gene regulatory factors may help define the migratory states. We therefore used deep sequencing to identify and profile monarch microRNAs ( Zhan et al., 2011. MonarchBase provides the access to the normalized expression values. [HELP]. Show miRNAs up-regulated in migrants. Show miRNAs down-regulated in migrants.

MonarchBase - Migratory profiles
http://monarchbase.umassmed.edu/variation.html
Approximately 100 monarch butterflies ( D. plexippus. From around the world, as well as nine relatives (other Danaus. Species), were sequenced with 10-20x coverage. Raw reads were mapped to the v3 assembly for SNP calling. A series of population genomic analyses were then performed to decipher the history of the monarch's evolutionary origin and global dispersal, and characterize the genes and pathways associated with migratory behavior ( Zhan et al., 2014. Check polymorphism for a designated site.
