Molecular Biology Database Searches

-------

[Construction Sign] This page is under construction . . .

Literature Citation Search Programs

o The Entrez Browser is a way to search a molecular biology subset of Medline, as well as protein and nucleotide databases. (updated every 2 months) (NCBI)
o Sequence Retrieval System (SRS) Network Browser for Databanks in Molecular Biology. Searches 35 or more databases. (EBI)
o Text-based search of Genbank, SWISS-PROT, and PIR. (updated daily)(NCBI)
o DBGET Integrated Database Retrieval System searches GeneBank, EMBL, SWISS-PROT, PIR, PRF, LITDB, PDB, PDB STR, EDP, PROSITE, LIGAND, PMD, AA-Index, OMIM. (GenomeNet)
o OWL-protein sequence search is a non-redundant protein sequence database produced from the following source databases: SWISSPROT, PIR(1-3), Genebank translations, and NRL-3D. (Johns Hopkins)

Sequence Homology Search Programs

o BLAST:Basic Local Alignment Search Tool is for searching for homology between your nucleotide of protein query sequence and sequences in PDB, GenBank(R) and translations and updates, EMBL and updates, SWISS-PROT, and PIR(R). (NCBI)
o Sequence Similarity Searches includes choice of: FASTA, BLITZ, PROSITE, BLAST, and BCM Search Methods (EBI).
o Clustalw allows you to perform multiple sequence homology searches via a web interface.
o MOTIF: Searching Protein Sequences Motives against PROSITE (by Univ of Geneva) Dictionary or MotivDict Dictionary (by ICR, Kyoto Univ.)(GenomeNet)

Protein Structure Prediction/Modeling Programs

o PredictProtein predicts secondary structure/accessibility based on protein sequence information.(EMBL)
o PROPSEARCH uses the amino acid composition instead of typical alignment methods to determine the putative protein family.(EMBL)
o DALI provides a comparison of protein structures in 3D. (EMBL)
o K2D predicts protein secondary structure from CD spectra.(FTP site only) (EMBL)

PCR Primer Analysis

o Net Primer is a java applet which you can download and analyse your primers quickly.
o Primer 3 is the oldest primer analysis tool in an updated version. Created by the Whitehead Institute, its a great tool to use. Now with a cgi version.
o PrimerDesign is a dos tool you can download. Look for a new version soon (2.1).

On-line Submissions to Databases

o BankIt allows you to use the World Wide Web (WWW) to submit sequences to GenBank. (NCBI)
o The EBI Sequence Data Submission System walks you through sequence subimssions through a series of forms which divide this highly complex task into smaller, more managable tasks. (EBI)

UMKC Molecular Biology Database Index

o The UMKC Molecular Biology Database Index is a growing list of nucleotide, protein and genomic databases located throughout the world. Each database is provided with a description, and a hot-link to a site from where it can be searched.
