Protein Subcellular Localization Prediction

Poonam Mahapatra — Thu, 01 Mar 2018 06:20:47 -0600

Assigning subcellular localization to a protein is an important step towards elucidating its interaction partners, function, and potential role(s) in the cellular machinery. Computational tools offer an attractive complement to time-consuming and laborious experimental methods.

Tools for Protein-Protein Docking !

Poonam Mahapatra — Wed, 25 Apr 2018 05:15:53 -0500

Predicting the structure of protein–protein complexes using docking approaches is a difficult problem whose major challenges include identifying correct solutions, and properly dealing with molecular flexibility and conformational changes. Following are the tools to predict the structure of protein–protein complexes:

3D-Dock Suite

Global rigid search: FFTShape complementarity and electrostatics

Re-scoring and clustering. Refinement of interface side-chains

Point to note:

The proper treatment of flexibility in protein–protein docking is still an active field of research. You first should analyzed your proteins in order to define their conformational space and then choose the most suitable method for your docking problem.

XAMPP: Starting Apache fail Ubuntu

Ram Yash Pal — Sat, 07 Jun 2014 05:52:35 -0500

Once you install XAMMP on linux, the most common problem you face is Apache failure. To fix the issues please use following command to first stop and then again start it.

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop

sudo /etc/init.d/mysql stop

sudo /etc/init.d/proftpd stop

sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start

PhpMyAdmin “Wrong permissions on configuration file, should not be world writable!”

Once the Xammp is installed, it might be possible to set up the configuration file in writable mode. Try the following steps:

Just chmod 0755 the file

sudo chmod 0755 config.inc.php

4DGenome

Jitendra Narayan — Mon, 04 Jul 2016 00:44:55 -0500

Records in 4DGenome are compiled through comprehensive literature curation of experimentally-derived and computationally-predicted interactions. The current release contains 4,433,071 experimentally-derived and 3,605,176 computationally-predicted interactions in 5 organisms. Experimental data cover both high throughput datasets and individiual focused studies.

All interaction data are freely available in a standardized file format. Records can be queried by genomic regions, gene names, organism, and detection technology.

New BLAST Core Nucleotide Database (core_nt)

LEGE — Tue, 13 Aug 2024 07:12:53 -0500

The Core Nucleotide Database (core_nt) is now the default nucleotide BLAST database. Core_nt is also available on the command line. You get faster searches & more focused results.

Core_nt contains the same eukaryotic transcript and gene-related sequences as nt. The core_nt database is nt without most eukaryotic chromosome sequences. Most nucleotide BLAST searches with core_nt will be similar to the nt database. However, core_nt is better than nt for accomplishing your most common BLAST search goals, such as identifying gene-related sequences like transcript sequences and complete bacterial chromosomes. This is because, in recent years, nt has acquired more low-relevance, non-annotated, and non-gene content.

BLAST nr version 5 database, (nr_v5)

Jit — Fri, 23 Aug 2019 11:35:35 -0500

NCBI have made changes the nr version 5 database, (nr_v5), to facilitate better search results and improved performance by reducing the number of redundant titles in the nr_v5 database used by webBLAST, which is also available for BLAST+ users.

The changes in nr preserve the taxonomic diversity of the entries in the database while reducing the number of titles for identical sequences. GenPept accessions are still accessible via www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/protein/$GENBANK_ACCESSION or the IPG website https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ipg/.

The "Identical Proteins" link in the alignments section of the webBLAST results takes you to a full list of all accessions associated with a sequence.

For BLAST+ users downloading nr_v5: the database is now approximately 50% smaller, resulting in faster downloads and BLAST searches, and smaller disk space requirements. The database is downloadable at: ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/blast/db/v5/

For BLAST+ there is a cleanup script to help you manage the transition to this smaller database. The script removes unused database volumes: ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/blast/temp/cleanup-blastdb-volumes.py

Here are the new rules on how we keep titles in nr_v5:

1. We keep all refseq, swissprot, pir and PDB titles.

2. We keep any GenPept titles with a TAXID that has not already been seen in the record.

3. We keep at least five GenPept titles regardless of whether the TAXIDS have been seen before or not in this record.

DEG 5.0: a database of essential genes in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes

Rahul Nayak — Tue, 30 Mar 2021 11:47:28 -0500

Essential genes are those indispensable for the survival of an organism, and their functions are therefore considered a foundation of life. Determination of a minimal gene set needed to sustain a life form, a fundamental question in biology, plays a key role in the emerging field, synthetic biology.

DEG is freely available at the website http://tubic.tju.edu.cn/deg or http://www.essentialgene.org.
