ODB -- a database of operons accumulating known operons across multiple genomes
What you can do:
Search for information on operons in prokaryotic genomes.
Highlights:
- ODB (Operon DataBase)provides a data retrieval system of known operons among the many complete genomes.
- Additionally, putative operons that are conserved in terms of known operons are also provided.
- The current version (2006) contains about 2000 known operon information in more than 50 genomes and about 13 000 putative operons in more than 200 genomes.
- This system integrates four types of associations: genome context, gene co-expression obtained from microarray data, functional links in biological pathways and the conservation of gene order across the genomes.
- Furthermore, the system validates these predictions using known operon information obtained from the literature. This database integrates known literature-based information and genomic data.
- In addition, it provides an operon prediction tool, which make the system useful for both bioinformatics researchers and experimental biologists.
