cDNA sequence databank will safeguard research access

The GenBank genetic sequence databank

The GenBank Genetic Sequence Data Bank contains nearly 15,000 entries for DNA and RNA sequences that have been reported since 1967. This paper briefly describes the contents of the database, the forms in which the data are distributed, and the services available to scientists using the GenBank database.

ESTprep: Preprocessing CDNA Sequence Reads

MOTIVATION High accuracy of data always governs the large-scale gene discovery projects. The data should not only be trustworthy but should be correctly annotated for various features it contains. Sequence errors are inherent in single-pass sequences such as ESTs obtained from automated sequencing. These errors further complicate the automated identification of EST-related sequencing. A tool is...

Nucleotide sequence of cDNA encoding for preprochymosin in native goat (Capra hircus) from Iran

Prochymosin is one of the most important aspartic proteinases used as a milk-clotting enzyme in cheese production. In the present investigation we report sequence of cDNA encoding goat ( Capra hircus ) preprochymosin and compare its nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences with sequences of other ruminants preprochymosin. As bovine prochymosin, the caprine prochymosin cDNA encodes 365 amino ...

Privacy transformations for databank

The term databank implies a centralized collection of dara-to wnic1f a number -of users have access. A computerized databank system consists of the data files, the associated computer facility, a management structure, and a user community. Several classes of databank systems can be defined on the basis of the nature of the organization supported by the databank, and its activity; the nature of ...
