NCBI Biological Databases

Central Dogma-o-centric

• Genomic DNA sequence

• mRNA/cDNA sequence

• Protein sequence

• Protein 3D structure

• Literature (Function)

Page 3: Biological Databases

Biological Data• Genomic DNA sequence (complete)• mRNA/cDNA sequence • Gene expression data (NEW)

– Microarrays, SAGE– Expression catalogs

• Protein sequence– Protein interaction/complex data (NEW)

• Protein 3D structure• Literature (Function)

– Organism databases (NEW)– Annotation and classification projects (NEW)

Page 4: Biological Databases

What is a Biological Database?An organized body of persistent data and

associated computer software for updating, querying, and retrieving data records.

• Collection of records and files• Organized for a particular purpose

• The database is separate from the interface and can have several interfaces.– NCBI Protein can be searched by protein name or

using BLAST (Basic Local Alignment Search Tool).

Page 5: Biological Databases

Common database features

• Relational Databases

– Tables

– Relationships between tables

• Version Control

• Consistency enforcement

• Multiauthor/multiuser with security

Genbank DNA Sequence Database

• Genbank/EMBL/DDBJ mirror & exchange sequence records.

• Primary vs. Secondary Databases– nr (non-redundant database)

• Primary vs. secondary records– Sequence vs. inferred property (coding

region)

Page 10: Biological Databases

Primary vs. Derivative Databases

• Primary Databases– Original submissions by experimentalists– Content controlled by the submitter

• Examples: GenBank, SNP, GEO

• Derivative Databases– Built from primary data– Content controlled by third party (NCBI)

• Examples: Refseq, TPA, RefSNP, UniGene, NCBI Protein, Structure, Conserved Domain

Genbank entries• Combination of required (LOCUS,

SOURCE) and optional fields.– The entry is hierarchical, some fields

contain subfields. • REFERENCE->AUTHORS

• Some fields can appear multiple times (REFERENCE, /gene)

• Some fields are numerical, other are text. Some fields contain free text, others use a controlled vocabulary or an database ID.

Page 19: Biological Databases

Other Genbank output formats

• FASTA– Simple, little annotation information– Easy to use– Common denominator format

• ASN1– Computer friendly, human unfriendly

• XML, INSDSeqXML, TinySeqXML• Graph (graphical map of seq features)…and more

• Genbank (used by VectorNTI)

• FASTA

• GCG– Accelrys GCG (Genetics Computer

Group) package– formerly GCG Wisconsin Package

Sequence Statistics

• Nucleotide frequencies (di, tri…)

• UV Absorbance

• MW

• Tm

Page 33: Biological Databases

Restriction Map• Linear vs Circular• Enzyme sets

– Which enzymes, where they cut.

• Gel simulation– Gel-to-map MUCH harder!!

• Useful for:– Cloning– Southern blots– Specialized mol bio techniques

Page 34: Biological Databases

Translation/ORFs

• Translation table– Standard vs non-standard

• Frame (1,2,3,4,5,6)

• Segmental translation (exon-intron)

• Primary translation vs mature polypeptide
