GENIUS II: a high-throughput database system for linking ORFs in complete genomes to known protein three-dimensional structures

GENIUS II: A Database System Including Complete Genome ORFs that are Assigned to Protein Three-Dimensional Domains

Characteristics Determination of Rheb Gene and Protein in Raini Cashmere Goat

The aim of the present study was todeterminecharacteristics of Rheb gene and protein in Raini Cashmere goat. Comparative analyses of the nucleotide sequences were performed. Open reading frames (ORFs), theoretical molecular weights of deduced polypeptides, the protein isoelectric point, protein characteristics and three-dimensional structures was predicted using online standard softwares. The f...

AntiFam: a tool to help identify spurious ORFs in protein annotation

As the deluge of genomic DNA sequence grows the fraction of protein sequences that have been manually curated falls. In turn, as the number of laboratories with the ability to sequence genomes in a high-throughput manner grows, the informatics capability of those labs to accurately identify and annotate all genes within a genome may often be lacking. These issues have led to fears about transit...

ODB: a database for operon organizations, 2011 update

ODB (Operon DataBase) aims to collect data of all known and conserved operons in completely sequenced genomes. Three newly updated features of this database have been added as follows: (i) Data from included operons were updated. The genome-wide analysis of transcription and transcriptional units has become popular recently and ODB successfully integrates these high-throughput operon data, incl...

A novel medium-throughput biological assay system for HTLV-1 infectivity and drug discovery

Objective(s): Here, a reporter cell line containing two reporter vectors were developed, in order to monitor the Human T-Lymphotropic Virus type1(HTLV-1) infectivity and the cell viability simultaneously. Materials and Methods: The reporter cell line was constructed by stably transfected baby hamster's kidney cell line (BHK-21), with the genomes expressing two different reporters in separate pl...
