ExtremoDex — The Extremophile Rolodex

Alba Tull

A rolodex-style index of every extremophile organism and metagenome across 18 categories. Each organism is a "dex card" with type tags, sequencing evidence, environment data, and cross-links. Hover any card to flip it for evidence & accession IDs.

The Extremophile Rolodex

ExtremoDex organizes extremophile genomic data as organism-level dex cards rather than raw sequencing runs. Each card aggregates all runs for a given species or metagenome type, tagged across multiple extremophile categories. Hover any card to flip it and see the evidence: BioProject accessions, sequencing platforms, geographic data, and links to NCBI/ENA. For deep dives, visit our specialized databases: Tardibase (tardigrade genomics) and GlaciaBase (psychrophile/cryophile focus).
