GenoList -- an integrated environment for the analysis of microbial genomes
What you can do:
Query and analyze genome data from bacterial species.
Highlights:
- The multitude of bacterial genome sequences being determined has generated new requirements regarding the development of databases and graphical interfaces: these are needed to organize and retrieve biological information from the comparison of large sets of genomes.
- GenoList inherits from the SubtiList database and web server, the reference data resource for the Bacillus subtilis genome.
- The data model was extended to hold information about relationships between genomes (e.g. protein families).
- The web user interface was designed to primarily take into account biologists' needs and modes of operation.
- Along with standard query and browsing capabilities, comparative genomics facilities are available, including subtractive proteome analysis.
- One key feature is the integration of the many tools accessible in the environment. As an example, it is straightforward to identify the genes that are specific to a group of bacteria, export them as a tab-separated list, get their protein sequences and run a multiple alignment on a subset of these sequences.
