MimoDB 2.0: a mimotope database and beyond

Mimotopes are peptides with affinities to given targets. They are readily obtained through biopanning against combinatorial peptide libraries constructed by phage display and other display technologies such as mRNA display, ribosome display, bacterial display and yeast display. Mimotopes have been used to infer the protein interaction sites and networks; they are also ideal candidates for devel...

MimoDB: a new repository for mimotope data derived from phage display technology.

Peptides selected from phage-displayed random peptide libraries are valuable in two aspects. On one hand, these peptides are candidates for new diagnostics, therapeutics and vaccines. On the other hand, they can be used to predict the networks or sites of protein-protein interactions. MimoDB, a new repository for these peptides, was developed, in which 10,716 peptides collected from 571 publica...

Iranian Brain Imaging Database: A Neuropsychiatric Database of Healthy Brain

Introduction: The Iranian Brain Imaging Database (IBID) was initiated in 2017, with 5 major goals: provide researchers easy access to a neuroimaging database, provide normative quantitative measures of the brain for clinical research purposes, study the aging profile of the brain, examine the association of brain structure and function, and join the ENIGMA consortium. Many prestigious databases...

Beyond the Relational Database Model

W hile revising the 10th edition of my book, Database Processing: Fundamentals , Design, and Implementation (Prentice Hall, 2005), I proposed in one chapter that XML data storage will eventually eliminate relational databases. The horrified reviewers strongly recommended softer language. " XML for data trans-port—OK, " they said. " But eliminating relational databases? No way. " But why not? Wh...
