Databases
 Databases used for the analysis of biological
molecules.
 Databases contain information organized in a way
that allows users/researchers to retrieve and exploit
it.
 Why bother?
 Store information.
 Organize data.
 Predict features (genes, functions ...).
 Predict the functional role of a feature (annotation).
 Understand relationships (metabolic reconstruction).

Errors in databases
There are a lot of errors in the primary
sequence databases:
 In
the sequences themselves:
Sequencing errors.
Cloning vectors sequences.
 For
the annotations, the free submission of
entries results to:
Inaccuracies, omissions, and even mistakes.
Inconsistencies between some fields.

Sequencing the World of Possibilities for Energy & Environment
Redundancy
 Redundancy is a major
problem.
 Entries are partially or
entirely duplicated:

e.g. 20% of vertebrate
sequences in GenBank.

Classification databases
Groups (families/clusters) of proteins based on…
Overall sequence similarity.
Local sequence similarity.
Presence / absence of specific features (active site, signal peptides…
).
Structural similarity.
...
These groups contain proteins with similar properties.
Specific function, enzymatic activity.
General function.

Clusters of orthologous groups (COGs)
 COGs were delineated by comparing protein sequences
encoded in 43 complete genomes representing 30 major
phylogenetic lineages.
 Each Cluster has representatives of at least 3 lineages
 A function (specific or broad) has been assigned to each COG.

Profiles & Pfam
 A method for classifying proteins into groups
exploits region similarities, which contain
valuable information (domains/profiles).
 These domains/profiles can be used to detect
distant relationships, where only few residues
are conserved.

Concluding remarks
 We have main archives (Genbank), and
currated databases (Refseq, SwissProt), and
protein classification database (COG, Pfam),
and many, many more…
 They help predict the function, or the network
of functions.
 Systems that integrate the information from
several databases, visualize and allow handling
of data in an intuitive way are required
