What you can do: A searchable knowledge base of biomarker to protein links.
Highlights:
  • EPO-KB is based on an OWL ontology that represents current knowledge linking mass-to-charge (m/z) ratios to proteins on multiple platforms including Matrix Assisted Laser/Desorption Ionization (MALDI) and Surface Enhanced Laser/Desorption Ionization (SELDI)--Time of Flight (TOF).
  • It contains information on m/z ratio to protein links that were extracted from 120 published research papers.
  • It has a web interface that allows researchers to query and retrieve putative proteins that correspond to a user-specified m/z ratio.
  • EPO-KB also allows automated entry of additional m/z ratio to protein links and is expandable to the addition of gene to protein and protein to disease links.
Keywords:
  • Biological Markers
  • Biomarker
