Today’s Tip of the Week is a quick intro on how to get enzyme names and data from an ID using Brenda. Brenda is a comprehensive database of enzyme information. I was reacquainted with Brenda from a question asked on Biostar, a site to ask bioinformatics questions. There was not a simple answer to the [...]
Welcome to our Friday feature link dump: SNPpets. During the week we come across a lot of links and reads that we think are interesting, but don’t make it to a blog post. Here they are for your enjoyment… Go play fold.it and fold some proteins as a game! [Trey] In a counterpoint (though actually I [...]
We recently announced a free tutorial (sponsored by PSI) on the Structural Genomics Knowledgebase (SGKB). I thought it might be of interest to our readers. You can access the free tutorial (approx. a 1hr movie, slides, handouts and exercises) here. We will also soon announce a free tutorial on the Protein Database (PDB), but you [...]
Out at a recent training I was talking to a scientist about resources for protein modifications–specifically glycans. There are special challenges and complexities about studying these residues and I was trying to direct him to resources that might offer some information. And then just last week I got notice that GlycoSuite is back online. So [...]
I wish I had more time to go into this paper in more detail–but I wanted to let you know that the paper is out there now. It came in my recent Nature Methods in paper version, and if I wasn’t crazy busy on a very cool project that we hope to launch this week [...]
Comprehensive tutorials on the publicly available PROSITE, InterPro, IntAct and UniProt databases enable researchers to quickly and effectively use these invaluable resources. Seattle January 14, 2009 — OpenHelix today announced the availability of new tutorial suites on PROSITE, InterPro and IntAct, in addition to a newly updated tutorial on UniProt. PROSITE is a database that [...]
I’m not a protein person (DNA, arthropods, SNPs, RNA, that’s me), so as I was doing some research using the protein databases, I came across this tidbit of information. UniProt is a central repository of protein sequences from Swiss-Prot, TrEMBL, and PIR. Check, I knew that. What I just learned was (yes, slow on the [...]
Seattle, WA (PRWEB) October 29, 2008 – OpenHelix today announced the availability of newly updated tutorial suites on the DataBase of Transcriptional Start Sites (DBTSS), Pfam and the Protein Databank (PDB). DBTSS is a public resource for the analysis of promoter regions. Pfam is a comprehensive database of protein families manually created from multiple sequence [...]
Comprehensive tutorials on the ASTD, Entrez Protein, and MMDB databases enable researchers to quickly and effectively use these invaluable variation resources. Seattle, WA September 24, 2008 — OpenHelix today announced the availability of new tutorial suites on the Alternative Splicing and Transcript Diversity (ASTD) database, Entrez Protein and the Molecular Modeling Database (MMDB). ASTD is [...]
OpenHelix today announced the availability of a new tutorial suite on MINT, a highly used database of protein-protein interactions, and an update to the Reactome tutorial. MINT is a collection of molecular interaction databases that can be used to search for, analyze and graphically display molecular interaction networks from a wide variety of species. Reactome [...]
