ProTISA -- a comprehensive resource for translation initiation site annotation in prokaryotic genomes
What you can do:
Find confirmed translation initiation sites (TISs) for prokaryotic genomes.
Highlights:
- The database collects TIS confirmed through a variety of available evidences for prokaryotic genomes, including Swiss-Prot experiments record, literature, conserved domain hits and sequence alignment between orthologous genes.
- By combining the predictions from our recently developed TIS post-processor, ProTISA provides a refined annotation for the public database RefSeq.
- The database also annotates the potential regulatory signals associated with translation initiation at the TIS upstream region.
- As of July 2007, ProTISA includes 440 microbial genomes with more than 390 000 confirmed TISs.
