Introduction to SRS Part 0. Introduction
SRS Introduction • SRS system started out as aSequence Retrieval Systemthat employed sophisticatedparsing and indexingof database text files
SRS Introduction • Fast access to diverse life science data - genetic, protein, cellular, molecular, and clinical - for researchers and bioinformaticians • Integration of public and proprietary data through one interface • Unique ability to perform cross-database queries • Rapid string search of large volumes of data • Seemless integration of data and analysis tools
Starting SRS • Browse the BIOSUPPORT Hompage: http://bioinfo.hku.hk/ • Select “Tools” Option
Starting SRS • At the “Tools” page, find and click on the Sequence Retrieval System (SRS) system
SRS Main Page • After successful login, the default page is a “Temporary Project”.
SRS Main Page • For a “Temporary Project”, the result of your work would not be stored after you close SRS.
SRS Main Page • Starting a “Permanent Project”, the result of your work would be stored even after you close SRS.
Permanent Project • After selecting a “Permanent Project”, your account name and project name will be displayed. (Since no password protection under current policy, this approach is not recommended.)
Permanent Project • All the query and job result will be saved in your “Permanent Project”.
Permanent Project Option • “Save to desktop” : download & save your project info to your local machine
Permanent Project Option • “Rename project” : change the name of your project
Permanent Project Option • “Delete project” : delete all the related information of your current project
“Quick Searches” page : • Quick access with default databank selection
“Quick Text Search” • Quick sequence query with default databank selection • Enter your search string and click “Search” to start searching
“Quick Text Search” • Default Databank Setting:
Introduction to SRS Part 1. Simple Query
Simple query • Go back to “Select Databank”, click on “PIR” to select “PIR” databank
Simple query • Then click the “Query” button to fill in the query form
Simple query • Click the first “AllText” pull down menu to change it to “Description” • Enter “cytochrome” at the blank besides
Simple query • Click the second “AllText” pull down menu to change it to “Organism” • Enter “pig” at the blank besides
Simple query • Click the “Search” button to start searching any sequence in PIR databanks satisfy your query form
Simple query • After searching for awhile, there would be some result listing entries. • Try to click the PIR:S26019 entry
Gene Sequence • SRS would display the PIR:S26019 description: including ID, accession number, description, keywords, etc
Gene Sequence • Scroll down to see the reference related to this sequence, there is also a Medline reference hyperlink available
Gene Sequence • Scroll down to see the gene function and the gene sequence
Gene Sequence • Save the gene sequence information to your local machine • Click the “Save” button at the leftmost panel
Gene Sequence • Click the “Output to” button to choose the text/html format
Gene Sequence • Click the “Use View” button to choose the “Complete entries” format
Gene Sequence • Then click “save” to save again the PIR:S26019 to your local machine
