SGDB -- a database of synthetic genes re-designed for optimizing protein over-expression
What you can do:
Search for sequences and associated experimental information on synthetic (artificially engineered) genes from all peer-reviewed studies.
Highlights:
- This resource not only provides reference material to guide experimentalists in designing new genes that improve protein expression, but also offers a dataset for analysis by bioinformaticians who seek to test ideas regarding the underlying factors that influence gene expression.
- As of 2006, the database comprises information from more than 200 published experiments.
- Moreover, users may visually compare the coding sequences of a synthetic gene and its natural counterpart with an integrated web tool at http://www.evolvingcode.net/codon/sgdb/aligner.php.
Keywords:
- gene expression
- protein expression
- synthetic genes
- artificially engined genes
