Gene Ontology Consortium And GO Database Gene Ontology: tool for the unification of biology M Ashburner, C A Ball, J A Blake, D Botstein, H Butler, J M Cherry, A P Davis, K Dolinski, S S Dwight, J T Eppig, M A Harris, D P Hill, L Issel-Tarver, A Kasarskis, S Lewis, J C Matese, J E Richardson, M Ringwald, G M Rubin & G Sherlock Nature Genetics 25, 25 - 29 (2000). http://www.geneontology.org http://www.godatabase.org http://www.geneontology.org/GO.contents.doc.shtml The Open Biomedical Ontology (OBO)
The goal of the Gene Ontology Consortium is to produce a dynamic, controlled vocabulary (GO term) that can be applied to all eukaryotes even as knowledge of gene and protein roles in cells is accumulating and changing. Go Database: lists of the genes or gene products associated with their particular GO terms, their links to the gene-association files for each of the collaborating databases is available.
The GO collaborators are developing three structured, controlled vocabularies (ontologies) that describe gene products in a species-independent manner with three kinds of terms: • biological processes • cellular components • molecular functions
Data Component of GO Database http://www.geneontology.org/GO.current.annotations.shtml
How to Search Genes in GO? • Go Terms • Gene Symbol or Name • FASTA Search
What The Search Result Includes? • Go Terms And GO ID • Sequence And Basic Sequence Information • Original Database And Detailed Annotation(Evidence)
Main Resource in GO Website • Go Database • On Line Query • Tools (Consortium and Non-Consortium) • Documents and tutorial
Available Format of Go Database • TXT Format • XML Format • MySQL Format
What are the possible uses of GO? * integrating proteomic information from different organisms; * assigning functions to protein domains; * finding functional similarities in genes that are overexpressed or underexpressed in diseases and as we age; * predicting the likelihood that a particular gene is involved in diseases that haven't yet been mapped to specific genes; * analysing groups of genes that are co-expressed during development; * developing automated ways of deriving information about gene function from the literature; * verifying models of genetic, metabolic and product interaction networks.
KEGG(Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes 京都基因与基因组百科全书) KEGG(Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes)是系统分析基因功能、基因组信息数据库,它有助于研究者把基因及表达信息作为一个整体网络进行研究。基因组信息存储在GENES数据库里,包括完整和部分测序的基因组序列;更高级的功能信息存储在PATHWAY数据库里,包括图解的细胞生化过程如代谢、膜转运、信号传递、细胞周期,还包括同系保守的子通路等信息;KEGG的另一个数据库是LIGAND,包含关于化学物质、酶分子、酶反应等信息。可以免费获取。KEGG提供的整合代谢途径(pathway)查询十分出色,包括碳水化合物、核苷、氨基酸等的代谢及有机物的生物降解,不仅提供了所有可能的代谢途径,而且对催化各步反应的酶进行了全面的注解,包含有氨基酸序列、PDB库的链接等等。KEGG是进行生物体内代谢分析、代谢网络研究的强有力工具。
