Creating a specialist protein resource network: a meeting report for the protein bioinformatics and community resources retreat
نویسندگان
چکیده
During 11-12 August 2014, a Protein Bioinformatics and Community Resources Retreat was held at the Wellcome Trust Genome Campus in Hinxton, UK. This meeting brought together the principal investigators of several specialized protein resources (such as CAZy, TCDB and MEROPS) as well as those from protein databases from the large Bioinformatics centres (including UniProt and RefSeq). The retreat was divided into five sessions: (1) key challenges, (2) the databases represented, (3) best practices for maintenance and curation, (4) information flow to and from large data centers and (5) communication and funding. An important outcome of this meeting was the creation of a Specialist Protein Resource Network that we believe will improve coordination of the activities of its member resources. We invite further protein database resources to join the network and continue the dialogue.

Bioinformatics Analysis of Upstream Region and Protein Structure of Fungal Phytase Gene
Phytase increases the bioavailability of phytate phosphorus in seed-based animal feeds and reduces the phosphorus pollution of animal waste. Since most animal feeds for pellets are heated up to 65-80 °C, the production of a thermostable structure for phytase can be useful. In this study, we sought to perform bioinformatics analysis of the upstream region and protein structure of fungal phytase ...
متن کاملComparing various attributes of prolactin hormones in different species: application of bioinformatics tools
Prolactin is mainly secreted by the anterior pituitary and is able to stimulate mammary gland development and lactation in mammalians. Although prolactins share a common ancestral gene encoding, they show species specific characteristics and their efficiency may be different in various mammals. The importance of protein structures of all sequences of this hormone have been studied by various bi...
متن کاملConstructing ontology-driven protein family databases
MOTIVATION Protein family databases provide a central focus for scientific communities as well as providing useful resources to aide research. However, such resources require constant curation and often become outdated and discontinued. We have developed an ontology-driven system for capturing and managing protein family data that addresses the problems of maintenance and sustainability. RESU...
