EchoBASE -- an integrated post-genomic database for Escherichia coli
What you can do:
Search for comprehensive genetic information and experimental results of Escherichia coli K-12.
Highlights:
- EchoBASE is a relational database designed to contain and manipulate information from post-genomic experiments using the model bacterium Escherichia coli K-12.
- Its aim is to collate information from a wide range of sources to provide clues to the functions of the approximately 1500 gene products that have no confirmed cellular function.
- The database is built on an enhanced annotation of the updated genome sequence of strain MG1655 and the association of experimental data with the E. coli genes and their products.
- Experiments that can be held within EchoBASE include proteomics studies, microarray data, protein-protein interaction data, structural data and bioinformatics studies.
- EchoBASE also contains annotated information on 'orphan' enzyme activities from this microbe to aid characterization of the proteins that catalyze these elusive biochemical reactions.
- As of Monday, January 10, 2005, there are 195 curated reference in the database relating to the 4400 genes in this bacterium.
