KATANA: A web-based guide to public databases for Arabidopsis genomic information
نویسندگان
چکیده
Genomic information of Arabidopsis thaliana can be obtained from various public databases. Given that naming conventions often vary between databases and that the same genes can be annotated differently, we developed a web-based tool, KATANA (Kazusa Arabidopsis thaliana Annotation Abstract; http://www.kazusa.or.jp/katana/), to guide users searching for Arabidopsis genomic information to the relevant public databases from a single site. The tool contains information and annotations of genes and proteins, gene families, gene ontology (GO) terms, metabolic pathways and gene expression data from the Massively Parallel Signature Sequencing (MPSS) experiments. Given that entries in the tool are hyper-linked to those of the databases, detailed information can be accessed at the original sites. Advanced searches for metabolic pathways and GO terms can also be performed.

Conceptualization of the Libraries’ Brand Based on a Systematic Literature Review
Purpose: Today, challenges and opportunities have emerged for libraries as a result of the changes in the world of information and extensive access to the Internet and Web 2, durability of the stereotypical and old image of libraries, coinciding with the change of their roles, and changes in technology and the publishing industry. Therefore, branding for libraries is crucial to their sustainabi...

AtDB, the Arabidopsis thaliana Database, has a primary role to provide public access to the collected genomic information for A. thaliana via the World Wide Web (URL: http://genome-www.stanford. edu/ ). AtDB presents interactive physical and genetics maps that are hyperlinked with detailed information about the clones and markers placed on these maps. A large literature collection on Arabidopsi...
متن کاملBioQ: tracing experimental origins in public genomic databases using a novel data provenance model
UNLABELLED Public genomic databases, which are often used to guide genetic studies of human disease, are now being applied to genomic medicine through in silico integrative genomics. These databases, however, often lack tools for systematically determining the experimental origins of the data. RESULTS We introduce a new data provenance model that we have implemented in a public web applicatio...
متن کاملProtein Databases
Proteins are sources of many peptides with diverse biological activity. Some of them are considered as valuable components of foods and drug targets with desired and designed biological activity. We are now entering an era rich in biological data in which the field of bioinformatics is poised to exploit this information in increasingly powerful ways. There are currently many databases all over ...
متن کاملThe plant-specific database. Classification of Arabidopsis proteins based on their phylogenetic profile.
One of the main goals of the plant community is to determine the function of every Arabidopsis gene by the end of the year 2010 (Chory et al., 2000). Because many are not yet characterized and because they will not be studied in other model organisms, we believe Arabidopsis proteins that are unique to the plant lineage should be a priority for future studies. Furthermore, functional characteriz...
