The chicken genome was sequenced because of its phylogenetic position as a non-mammalian vertebrate, its use as a biomedical model especially to study embryology and development, its role as a source of human disease organisms and its importance as the major source of animal derived food protein. However, genomic sequence data is, in itself, of limited value; generally it is not equivalent to understanding biological function. The benefit of having a genome sequence is that it provides a basis for functional genomics. However, the sequence data currently available is poorly structurally and functionally annotated and many genes do not have standard nomenclature assigned.

View all literature mentionsDatabase for genomes that have been completely sequenced, have active research community to contribute gene-specific information, or that are scheduled for intense sequence analysis. Includes nomenclature, map location, gene products and their attributes, markers, phenotypes, and links to citations, sequences, variation details, maps, expression, homologs, protein domains and external databases. All entries follow NCBI's format for data collections. Content of Entrez Gene represents result of curation and automated integration of data from NCBI's Reference Sequence project (RefSeq), from collaborating model organism databases, and from many other databases available from NCBI. Records are assigned unique, stable and tracked integers as identifiers. Content is updated as new information becomes available.
View all literature mentionsSoftware R package. Methods for Cluster analysis. Performs variety of types of cluster analysis and other types of processing on large microarray datasets.
View all literature mentionsA a configurable software package for peptide and protein mass spectrometry analyses. It includes the SEQUEST search algorithm to identify separate proteins in complex mixtures, interactive navigation tools to filter and sort protein summaries, customized spectral plots, and chromatograms using the PEPMATCH and PEPMAP tools. This software also has batch processing capabilities to improve throughput by queuing up several files, and custom-build proprietary databases, index databases, and retrieve databases through a public server.
