Term
HGNC
Definition
  • HUGO Nomenclature Comittie
  • provides unique human gene names and symbols
Term
BioMart
Definition
  • federated database system that provides unified access to disparate, geographically distributed data souces
  • data agnostic and platform independent
Term
ontology
Definition
formal representation of a set of concepts within a domain and the relationships between those concepts
Term
gene ontology
Definition
  • built for purpose of annotation of genes and protein databases applicable to all species
  • 3 structured,controled vocabularies that describe gene products in a species-independent matter
Term
biological processes
Definition
commonly recoginized series of events,like cel division
Term
cellular components
Definition
where in the cell does the protein act
Term
molecular functions
Definition
protein activities
Term
directed acyclic graph(DAG)
Definition
  • 1:n parent
  • 0:n childern
  • relations are is-a or part-of
Term
UniProt Knowledgebase
Definition
  • UniProtKBtocollection of functional info on proteins with annotions
  • two sections
  • curated(swiss-prot) and aumatic(TrEMBL)
  • 95% of proteins are translated from ORFs
Term
Model Organisms
Definition
  • findings in one is often relevant to many
  • easy large scale systematic experimentation 
  • most experiments are cellular models or organoid models 
Term
Reason of model organism databases
Definition
  • conventions on naming
  • platform to retrieve information from publications and share data about an organism
  • datasets from publications
  • annotations of the genome
  • tools
Term
Phenotype ontology
Definition
establishes a large dataset of gene to phenotype relations based on genetic research
