There is A LOT OF
biomolecular
databases/sources
A LOT OF overlap of
information/redundancy
A LOT OF TOOLS
Personal
picks/preferences
• User-friendliness

Magnitudes and Scales
Human genome
3,200,000,000 bp
• Single basepair  full
genome is 9 orders of
magnitude
Genome = Football field:
~3 billion leaves of grass
Single base A T G C (or
SNP) = 1 leaf of grass
Genome browsing
• Zooming from whole
stadium to single leaf
How we got the sequence
Center for Biologisk Sekvensanalyse
Sanger chain termination method
Center for Biologisk Sekvensanalyse
Primary DNA sources
Trace files repositories
Single read: 500-1000 bp (~golf ball size / jig saw puzzle)
Variable quality
• WashU-Merck Human EST Project / Trace files
• ”Base-calling” non-trivial
Center for Biologisk Sekvensanalyse
Assembly is Non-trivial!

Sequence repositories - GenBank
et al.
GenBank / EMBL / DDBJ
• Highly redundant (many versions of same gene)
• Cross-updated daily
• Version history is recorded
• Previous sequence records can be retrieved
• Contigs/HTGS (100-200 kb) finishing at
different stages
• Draft  Finished
• Includes genomic DNA, cDNA, ESTs, translated
peptides
Center for Biologisk Sekvensanalyse
Non-redundant and Curated
databases
Non-redundant
• Manual or automatic curation
• DNA
• RefSeq (NCBI; semi-automated)
• Ensembl gene index (automated)
• Protein
• RefSeq (NCBI; semi-automated)
• TrEMBL (EMBL; automated)
Center for Biologisk Sekvensanalyse
Curated database: UniProt/SwissProt
SIB - Swiss Institute of
Bioinformatics
Protein Knowledgebase /
Sequence Database
• Highly curated
• Experimental evidence
evaluated (e.g. modifications)
• All 80,000 entries checked by
Amos Bairoch himself ;-)
ExPASy - Expert Protein
Analysis System
• Proteomics tools: links + local
servers

Functional Categorization
Gene Ontology
(GO)
• Hierarchical
• Controlled
vocabulary
Center for Biologisk Sekvensanalyse
Functional Categorization
Gene Ontology (GO)
http://www.geneontology.org/
• Molecular Function - the tasks performed by
individual gene products; examples are
transcription factor and DNA helicase
• Biological Process - broad biological goals, such
as mitosis or purine metabolism, that are
accomplished by ordered assemblies of
molecular functions
• Cellular Component - subcellular structures,
locations, and macromolecular complexes;
examples include nucleus, telomere, and origin
recognition complex

Integration of databases - Webs of websites
Links, links,
links...
SRS = Sequence
Retrieval
System
• Powerful,
complex query
language
BioDAS –
Distributed
Annotation
System

Center for Biologisk Sekvensanalyse
For ’my gene’, how do I:
Get an overview of the sequence
information known? (GeneCards)
Examine the ’Genome Neighbourhood’?
(Genome Browsers)
Predict protein post-translational
modifications (PTMs)? (Prediction servers)
• (Evaluate the value of predicted features)

Genetic/Medical Information
OMIM, Online Mendelian Inheritance in
Man (NCBI)
• The OMIM database is a catalog of human genes
and genetic disorders
• >13,000 entries (April, 2002)
• Examples: cystic fibrosis, prions, amyloid
precursor protein
• Condensed, highly curated descriptions of
genetics/disease/animal models/references

Genome Browsing
Three public
• Open access
• Use same genome build/assembly
• NCBI (U.S.)
• UCSC (Santa Cruz, U.S.)
• EnsEmbl (EBI, EU)
One private
• Restricted, commercial
• Academic, free usage: 1 Mbase/week
• Proprietary assembly
• Celera Genomics (U.S.)

Dynamic Resources
Pros
• Includes most recent developments
• Updated regularly
• User interface improves(usually)
Cons
• Difficult to keep pace
• Tutorials and lectures hard to recycle ;-(
• Difficult to use at irregular intervals
Center for Biologisk Sekvensanalyse
Genome Browsers
- Portals to the Genomic World
Three main entry points:
• NCBI, UCSC, EnsEmbl
• Essentially contain same information
• High degree of linking to secondary databases
• Advisable to become familiar with only one genome
browser
• Learn to navigate and make queries
GeneCards and OMIM
• well suited for getting a quick overview of a
gene of interest
Center for Biologisk Sekvensanalyse
Prediction Servers
Evaluate scientific ’soundness’
• Look for indications of quality (citations, etc.)
Remember that prediction servers
provide...well, predictions!
