Searching across hundreds of databases
Lignocellulose is one of the most abundant forms of fixed carbon in the biosphere. Current industrial approaches to the degradation of lignocellulose employ enzyme mixtures, usually from a single fungal species, which are only effective in hydrolyzing polysaccharides following biomass pre-treatments. While the enzymatic mechanisms of lignocellulose degradation have been characterized in detail in individual microbial species, the microbial communities that efficiently breakdown plant materials in nature are species rich and secrete a myriad of enzymes to perform "community-level" metabolism of lignocellulose. Single-species approaches are, therefore, likely to miss important aspects of lignocellulose degradation that will be central to optimizing commercial processes.

Web application to search protein databases using a translated nucleotide query. Translated BLAST services are useful when trying to find homologous proteins to a nucleotide coding region. Blastx compares translational products of the nucleotide query sequence to a protein database. Because blastx translates the query sequence in all six reading frames and provides combined significance statistics for hits to different frames, it is particularly useful when the reading frame of the query sequence is unknown or it contains errors that may lead to frame shifts or other coding errors. Thus blastx is often the first analysis performed with a newly determined nucleotide sequence and is used extensively in analyzing EST sequences. This search is more sensitive than nucleotide blast since the comparison is performed at the protein level.

View all literature mentionsSTOP is a multi-ontology enrichment analysis tool. It is intended to be used to help from hypothesis about large sets of genes or proteins. The annoations used for enrichment analysis are obtained automatically applying text descriptions of genes and proteins to the NCBO annotator. Text for genes is found using NCBI entrez gene, and text for proteins is found using UniProt. The text is then run though NCBO annotator with all the available ontologies. For more information about the NCBO annotator please visit: http://bioportal.bioontology.org/ The goal of National Center for Biomedical Ontology (NCBO) is to support biomedical researchers in their knowledge-intensive work, by providing online tools and a Web portal enabling them to access, review, and integrate disparate ontological resources in all aspects of biomedical investigation and clinical practice. A major focus of our work involves the use of biomedical ontologies to aid in the management and analysis of data derived from complex experiments. This work is an expansion of the work of Rob Tirrell and others on RANSUM This probject would not be possible without the contributions of Emily Howe, Uday Evani, Corey Powell, Mathew Fleisch, Tobias Wittkop, Ari Berman, Nigam Shah and Sean Mooney An account is required.
