The integrated web service and genome database for agricultural plants with biotechnology information.
Journal Title: Bioinformation - Year 2011, Vol 6, Issue 6
Abstract
The National Agricultural Biotechnology Information Center (NABIC) constructed an agricultural biology-based infrastructure and developed a Web based relational database for agricultural plants with biotechnology information. The NABIC has concentrated on functional genomics of major agricultural plants, building an integrated biotechnology database for agro-biotech information that focuses on genomics of major agricultural resources. This genome database provides annotated genome information from 1,039,823 records mapped to rice, Arabidopsis, and Chinese cabbage.
HPLC Retention time prediction for metabolome analysi.
Liquid Chromatography Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry (LC-TOF-MS) is widely used for profiling metabolite compounds. LC-TOF-MS is a chemical analysis technique that combines the physical separation capabilities of high-...
Binding site prediction of galanin peptide using evolutionary trace method.
Galanin is a neuropeptide with aminoacid length ranging from 29 to 31 is widely distributed in central and peripheral nervous system. Galanin controls various psychological processes such as sensation of pain, learning,...
On sparse Fisher discriminant method for microarray data analysis.
One of the applications of the discriminant analysis on microarray data is to classify patient and normal samples based on gene expression values. The analysis is especially important in medical trials and diagnosis of c...
Identification of sequence mutations affecting hemagglutinin specificity to sialic acid receptor in influenza A virus subtypes.
The attachment of the hemagglutinin protein of the H1N1 subtype of the pandemic influenza A virus to the sialic acid receptor Sia(α2-6)Gal has contributed to the ability of the virus to replicate in the human body and tr...
Evolutionary trace analysis of plant haemoglobins: implications for site-directed mutagenesis.
Haemoglobins are found ubiquitously in eukaryotes and many bacteria. In plants, haemoglobins were first identified in species, which can fix nitrogen via symbiosis with bacteria. Recent findings suggest that another clas...
