Highlights:
|
- The Molecular Probe Data Base (MPDB) contains information on ca. 4300 synthetic oligonucleotides with a sequence of up to 100 nucleotides.
- The probes target 821 different genes, of which 691 human and 112 viral.
- The probes can be used for genetic polymorphisms study (1944), human inherited disease diagnosis (834), cancer diagnosis (517), infectious disease diagnosis (517), neurologic disease diagnosis (72), autoimmune disease diagnosis (40).
- Data are mainly taken from the literature and are encoded on the basis of controlled vocabularies.
- Oligonucleotides are described on the basis of: name, oligo type (primer, probe, antisense), nucleotide sequence, amino acid sequence (if part of a coding region), target gene and related infos (localization within the gene and recognized variants or specificities), applications, methods, technical notes, complementary primer (if used for PCR), primers for amplification (if probe), bibliographic references.
