English abstract We have created a database system named CIPEMAB (Citogenética dos Pequenos Mamíferos Brasileiros) to as - semble images of the chromosomes of Brazilian small mammals (Rodents and Marsupials). It includes karyotype in - formation, such as diploid number, karyotype features, idiograms, and sexual chromosomes characteristics. CIPEMAB facilitates quick sharing of information on chromosome research among cytogeneticists as well as re - searchers in other fields. The database contains more than 300 microscopic images, including karyotypic images ob - tained from 182 species of small mammals from the literature. Researchers can browse the contents of the database online (http://www.citogenetica.ufes.br). The system enables users to locate images of interest by taxa, and to dis - play the document with detailed information on species names, authors, year of the species publication, and karyo- types pictures in different colorations. CIPEMAB has a wide range of applications, such as comparing various karyotypes of Brazilian species and identifying manuscripts of interest
