Malvaceae is a family of flowering plants containing many economically important plant species including cotton, cacao and durian. Recently, the genomes of several Malvaceae species have been decoded, and many omics data were generated for individual species. However, no integrative database of multiple species, enabling users to jointly compare and analyse relevant data, is available for Malvaceae. Thus, we developed a user-friendly database named MaGenDB (http://magen.whu.edu.cn) as a functional genomics hub for the plant community. We collected the genomes of 13 Malvaceae species, and comprehensively annotated genes from different perspectives including functional RNA/protein element, gene ontology, KEGG orthology, and gene family. We processed 374 sets of diverse omics data with the ENCODE pipelines and integrated them into a customised genome browser, and designed multiple dynamic charts to present gene/RNA/protein-level knowledge such as dynamic expression profiles and functional elements. We also implemented a smart search system for efficiently mining genes. In addition, we constructed a functional comparison system to help comparative analysis between genes on multiple features in one species or across closely related species. This database and associated tools will allow users to quickly retrieve large-scale functional information for biological discovery.

Pfam (tool)

RRID:SCR_004726

A database of protein families, each represented by multiple sequence alignments and hidden Markov models (HMMs). Users can analyze protein sequences for Pfam matches, view Pfam family annotation and alignments, see groups of related families, look at the domain organization of a protein sequence, find the domains on a PDB structure, and query Pfam by keywords. There are two components to Pfam: Pfam-A and Pfam-B. Pfam-A entries are high quality, manually curated families that may automatically generate a supplement using the ADDA database. These automatically generated entries are called Pfam-B. Although of lower quality, Pfam-B families can be useful for identifying functionally conserved regions when no Pfam-A entries are found. Pfam also generates higher-level groupings of related families, known as clans (collections of Pfam-A entries which are related by similarity of sequence, structure or profile-HMM).

Rfam (tool)

RRID:SCR_007891

The Rfam database is a collection of RNA families, each represented by multiple sequence alignments, consensus secondary structures and covariance models (CMs). The families in Rfam break down into three broad functional classes: Non-coding RNA genes, structured cis-regulatory elements and self-splicing RNAs. Typically these functional RNAs often have a conserved secondary structure which may be better preserved than the RNA sequence. The CMs used to describe each family are a slightly more complicated relative of the profile hidden Markov models (HMMs) used by Pfam. CMs can simultaneously model RNA sequence and the structure in an elegant and accurate fashion. Rfam is also available via FTP. You can find data in Rfam in various ways... * Analyze your RNA sequence for Rfam matches * View Rfam family annotation and alignments * View Rfam clan details * Query Rfam by keywords * Fetch families or sequences by NCBI taxonomy * Enter any type of accession or ID to jump to the page for a Rfam family, sequence or genome

Gene Wiki (tool)

RRID:SCR_005317

The Gene Wiki is a project that facilitates transferring information on human genes to Wikipedia article stubs with the goal of promoting collaboration and expansion of the articles. Number of gene articles The human genome contains an estimated 20,00025,000 protein-coding genes. The goal of the Gene Wiki project is to create seed articles for every notable human gene, that is, every gene whose function has been assigned in the peer-reviewed scientific literature. Approximately half of human genes have assigned function, therefore the total number of articles seeded by the Gene Wiki project would be expected to be in the range of 10,000 - 15,000. To date, approximately 10,271 articles have been created or augmented to include Gene Wiki project content. Expansion Once seed articles have been established, the hope and expectation is that these will be annotated and expanded by editors ranging in experience from the lay audience to students to professionals and academics. Proteins encoded by genes The majority of genes encode proteins hence understanding the function of a gene generally requires understanding of the function of the corresponding protein. In addition to including basic information about the gene, the project therefore also includes information about the protein encoded by the gene. Stubs for the Gene Wiki project are created by a bot and contain links to the following primary gene/protein databases * HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee official gene name * Entrez Gene database * OMIM (Mendelian Inheritance in Man) database that catalogues all the known diseases with a genetic component * Amigo Gene Ontology * HomoloGene gene homologs in other species * SymAtlasRNA gene expression pattern in tissues * Protein Data Bank 3D structure of protein encoded by the gene * Uniprot (universal protein resource) a central repository of protein data
