  11. Find mRNA sequence for human “epidermal growth factor receptor”

  12. Specify human as an organism : Click Preview/Index Specify “human” by selecting “Organisms” from “All Fields” drop-down menu

  13. 2 1

  14. Limit your search Exclude all technology generated records Select mRNA in the “Molecule” list Select “Refseq” in the database list

  15. RefSeq • Database of reference sequences • Curated • Non-redundant; one record for each gene, or each splice variant, from each organism represented • Each record is intended to present an encapsulation of the current understanding of a gene or protein, similar to a review article RefSeq FAQ

  16. Molecular databases

  17. Find Gene Name by searching LocusLink : http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/LocusLink/ Select organism

  18. LocusLink

  19. Find mRNA sequence for epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR): Starts with gene name EGFR • Limit search to • Gene Name • exclude all technology generated records • Select mRNA as Molecule • Select “Refseq” as source database

  21. SRS – List of Public SRS Servers

  22. SRS – List of Public SRS Servers

  23. SRS Tutorial

  24. Permanent session List of public servers Temporary session Documentation http://srs.ebi.ac.uk Database Information -which are present -when indexed

  25. What is SRS? • Central resource for molecular biology data • Data retrieval system - more than 250 databanks have been indexed. More than 35 SRS servers over the WWW • Data analysis applications server - 11 protein applications - 6 nucleic acid applications • Uniform query interface on the web

  26. History of SRS • 1990 - Main author Dr. Thure Etzold • Development started in EMBL, Heidelberg • 1997 • Moved to EBI in Cambridge. Development work was supported by various grants amongst others from the EMBnet. • 1998 • Etzold and his group join LionBiosciences

  27. Why SRS? • Information retrieval • Easy way to retrieve information from sequence and sequence-related databases • Possibility to search for multiple words/other criteria • Linkage between different databases • E.g. Find all primary structures with known three-dimensional structure • ... and much more

  28. parsed Index file Data Retrieval Searchable links between database entries Philosophy of SRS Original database file -plain text, html, xml

  29. Workbenches QueryForms Library groups Libraries The Library Select Page

  30. SRS main toolbar tabs • Top Page: displays databases in different database groups • Query: displays either the standard or extended query form • Resultsor “the query manager”: maintains a history of all the results obtained during a session • Projects or “the project manager”: maintains a history of all queries and views used during a session • Views: allows a user to define a user specific view for one or more databases • Databanks: contains a list and some facts about the databases available in the system

  31. Search terms in SRS • SRS indexed fields can be searched using any of the following: • Single word search • Multiple word phrases • Numbers and dates • Regular expressions • Wildcards
