MIPS: a database for genomes and protein sequences.

The Munich Information Center for Protein Sequences (MIPS-GSF), Martinsried, near Munich, Germany, continues its longstanding tradition to develop and maintain high quality curated genome databases. In addition, efforts have been intensified to cover the wealth of complete genome sequences in a systematic, comprehensive form. Bioinformatics, supporting national as well as European sequencing and functional analysis projects, has resulted in several up-to-date genome-oriented databases. This report describes growing databases reflecting the progress of sequencing the Arabidopsis thaliana (MATDB) and Neurospora crassa genomes (MNCDB), the yeast genome database (MYGD) extended by functional analysis data, the database of annotated human EST-clusters (HIB) and the database of the complete cDNA sequences from the DHGP (German Human Genome Project). It also contains information on the up-to-date database of complete genomes (PEDANT), the classification of protein sequences (ProtFam) and the collection of protein sequence data within the framework of the PIR-International Protein Sequence Database. These databases can be accessed through the MIPS WWW server (http://www. mips.biochem.mpg.de).

GOBASE: the organelle genome database.

GOBASE (http://megasun.bch.umontreal.ca/gobase/) is a network-accessible biological database, which is unique in bringing together diverse biological data on organelles with taxonomically broad coverage, and in furnishing data that have been exhaustively verified and completed by experts. So far, we have focused on mitochondrial data: GOBASE contains all published nucleotide and protein sequences encoded by mitochondrial genomes, selected RNA secondary structures of mitochondria-encoded molecules, genetic maps of completely sequenced genomes, taxonomic information for all species whose sequences are present in the database and organismal descriptions of key protistan eukaryotes. All of these data have been integrated and organized in a formal database structure to allow sophisticated biological queries using terms that are inherent in biological concepts. Most importantly, data have been validated, completed, corrected and standardized, a prerequisite of meaningful analysis. In addition, where critical data are lacking, such as genetic maps and RNA secondary structures, they are generated by the GOBASE team and collaborators, and added to the database. The database is implemented in a relational database management system, but features an object-oriented view of the biological data through a Web/Genera-generated World Wide Web interface. Finally, we have developed software for database curation (i.e. data updates, validation and correction), which will be described in some detail in this paper.

Mining genomic databases to identify novel hydrogen producers.

The realization that fossil fuel reserves are limited and their adverse effect on the environment has forced us to look into alternative sources of energy. Hydrogen is a strong contender as a future fuel. Biological hydrogen production ranges from 0.37 to 3.3 moles H(2) per mole of glucose and, considering the high theoretical values of production (4.0 moles H(2) per mole of glucose), it is worth exploring approaches to increase hydrogen yields. Screening the untapped microbial population is a promising possibility. Sequence analysis and pathway alignment of hydrogen metabolism in complete and incomplete genomes has led to the identification of potential hydrogen producers.

Corruption of genomic databases with anomalous sequence.

We describe evidence that DNA sequences from vectors used for cloning and sequencing have been incorporated accidentally into eukaryotic entries in the GenBank database. These incorporations were not restricted to one type of vector or to a single mechanism. Many minor instances may have been the result of simple editing errors, but some entries contained large blocks of vector sequence that had been incorporated by contamination or other accidents during cloning. Some cases involved unusual rearrangements and areas of vector distant from the normal insertion sites. Matches to vector were found in 0.23% of 20,000 sequences analyzed in GenBank Release 63. Although the possibility of anomalous sequence incorporation has been recognized since the inception of GenBank and should be easy to avoid, recent evidence suggests that this problem is increasing more quickly than the database itself. The presence of anomalous sequence may have serious consequences for the interpretation and use of database entries, and will have an impact on issues of database management. The incorporated vector fragments described here may also be useful for a crude estimate of the fidelity of sequence information in the database. In alignments with well-defined ends, the matching sequences showed 96.8% identity to vector; when poorer matches with arbitrary limits were included, the aggregate identity to vector sequence was 94.8%.

A conceptual database model for genomic research.

We describe a conceptual model for genome databases that facilitates the process of building, maintaining, and disseminating physically anchored genetic linkage maps. The model has been implemented as a relational database at the Roman L. Hruska U.S. Meat Animal Research Center (MARC). Development of consensus maps using disparate data from different reference pedigrees or laboratories is supported. The model is of use to quantitative and population geneticists interested in loci that affect phenotypes and marker-assisted selection, and it is sufficiently flexible for centralized, species genome databases facilitating comparative mapping. The MARC genome database is used to assemble, maintain, and disseminate physically anchored genetic linkage maps for cattle, swine, and sheep currently based on more than 100,000 genotypes from 1,000 markers. Integrated with linkage analysis software, this database permits frequent updates of physically anchored genetic linkage maps.

The genome sequence DataBase.

The Genome Sequence DataBase (GSDB) is a database of publicly available nucleotide sequences and their associated biological and bibliographic information. Several notable changes have occurred in the past year: GSDB stopped accepting data submissions from researchers; ownership of data submitted to GSDB was transferred to GenBank; sequence analysis capabilities were expanded to include Smith-Waterman and Frame Search; and Sequence Viewer became available to Mac users. The content of GSDB remains up-to-date because publicly available data is acquired from the International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration databases (IC) on a nightly basis. This allows GSDB to continue providing researchers with the ability to analyze, query and retrieve nucleotide sequences in the database. GSDB and its related tools are freely accessible from the URL: http://www.ncgr.org

The SARS-CoV-2 Integrated Genomic Epidemiology Database (IGED): Linking viral genomes with patient-level metadata to advance statewide genomic surveillance in California.

In July 2021, the California Code of Regulations Title 17 required all laboratories performing SARS‑CoV‑2 whole genome sequencing (WGS) to report their sequencing results to the California Department of Public Health (CDPH). These viral genomic data and patient metadata were compiled into the Integrated Genomic Epidemiology Database (IGED). Linking anonymized viral sequences with patient‑level information enabled monitoring of infectiousness, pathogenicity, transmission dynamics, evolution, and vaccine evasion among emerging SARS‑CoV‑2 lineages. Laboratories performing SARS-CoV-2 WGS transmitted sequencing results to CDPH through Electronic Laboratory Reporting (ELR) and non-ELR pathways. CDPH applied uniform reporting requirements but allowed flexibility in specific data formats to accommodate diverse data systems. To preserve data quality and interoperability across heterogeneous sources, CDPH implemented standardization, validation, and deduplication protocols. Snowflake, a cloud‑based data storage and analytics platform, and Posit Connect, a cloud deployment and automation platform, supported the management, processing, and integration of data within the IGED. The IGED established links between SARS‑CoV‑2 WGS data and epidemiologic metadata for 801,418 sequences, representing 81.7% of all sequences reported in California. Lineages reported to the IGED showed strong concordance with lineage proportions in GISAID. Sequences reported to the IGED had average turnaround times longer than one month, and the majority of sequencing was performed in Southern California and Los Angeles. The IGED enhanced genomic surveillance through predictive modeling and monitoring concerning evolutionary trends such as recombination and saltations in persistent infections. Development of the IGED highlighted the need for standardized data requirements, sustained funding for sequencing, incentives for data submission, and interdisciplinary collaboration to build an effective genomic surveillance system. This framework for linking genomic and epidemiologic data has not only generated critical insights for SARS‑CoV‑2 but also provided the foundation for CDPH and other public health organizations to develop similar IGED‑like systems for other priority pathogens as genomic surveillance expands.

Chance favors the prepared genome.

Most descriptions of mutation have emphasized its negative consequences, and randomness with respect to biological function. This book seeks to balance the discussion by emphasizing mechanisms that both diversify the genome and increase the probability that a genome's descendants will survive. This chapter provides a framework for, and overview of, the diverse contributions to this book; these contributions will be stimulating companions, well into the 21st Century, as we work to comprehend the information contained in genomic databases. Genomes that encode "better" amino acid sequences are at a selective advantage. Genomes that generate diversity also are at an advantage to the extent that they can navigate efficiently through the space of possible sequence changes. Biochemical systems that tend to increase the ratio of useful to destructive genetic change may harness preexisting information (horizontal gene transfer, DNA translocation and/or DNA duplication), focus the location, timing, and extent of genetic change, adjust the dynamic range of a gene's activity, and/or sample regulatory connections between sites distributed across the genome. Rejecting entirely random genetic variation as the substrate of genome evolution is not a refutation, but rather provides a deeper understanding, of the theory of natural selection of Darwin and Wallace. The fittest molecular strategies survive, along with descendants of the genomes that encode them.

Progress in in silico functional genomics: the malaria Metabolic Pathways database.

Genomic, transcriptomic and proteomic data can be turned into biologically meaningful information if they are synthesized into processes. Such amalgamation has been done for the most virulent malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum in the Metabolic Pathways database. The dialectics of construction of metabolic pathways and other biological processes using this database is presented here. Additional features, such as links to other databases and the incorporation of transcriptomic clocks, are elucidated. Comparison of Metabolic Pathways to other similar databases is analyzed.

The Giardia genome project database.

The Giardia genome project database provides an online resource for Giardia lamblia (WB strain, clone C6) genome sequence information. The database includes edited single-pass reads, the results of BLASTX searches, and details of progress towards sequencing the entire 12 million-bp Giardia genome. Pre-sorted BLASTX results can be retrieved based on keyword searches and BLAST searches of the high throughput Giardia data can be initiated from the web site or through NCBI. Descriptions of the genomic DNA libraries, project protocols and summary statistics are also available. Although the Giardia genome project is ongoing, new sequences are made available on a bi-monthly basis to ensure that researchers have access to information that may assist them in the search for genes and their biological function. The current URL of the Giardia genome project database is www.mbl.edu/Giardia.

EucaMOD: a comprehensive multi-omics database for functional genomics research and molecular breeding of fast-growing eucalyptus trees.

Eucalyptus, one of the most widely planted plantation tree species globally, is primarily found in tropical and subtropical regions and contributes significantly to economic and social benefits. With advances in sequencing technologies, there is an increasing demand for the systematic analysis of multi-omics data among Eucalyptus species to enhance genetic breeding efforts. Although several early genomic databases have been established for eucalyptus, they have not been updated in a timely manner and lack recent multi-omics data, rendering them insufficient for current research needs. To address this gap, we developed the eucalyptus multi-omics database (EucaMOD, http://eucalyptusggd.net/eucamod), a comprehensive resource for cross-omics studies. In this study, we functionally annotated 45 eucalyptus genomes and structurally annotated 15, conducting comparative genomics and pan-proteomics analyses across all genomes. Additionally, we analyzed eucalyptus transcriptome, epigenome, and variome data through standardized workflows, enabling the in-depth mining and reanalysis of multi-omics datasets. EucaMOD is the most comprehensive multi-omics database for eucalyptus to date and includes data from 45 genomes (39 species), 870 mRNA-seq samples, 17 miRNA-seq samples, 52 epigenomic datasets (histone modifications and transcription factor binding), and genetic variation data from 1219 samples. To support functional genomics and molecular breeding research, the database is organized into the following 11 modules: Home, Species, Genomics, Comparative genomics, Pan-proteomics, Transcriptomics, Epigenetics, Variomics, Tools, Download, and Help. EucaMOD also offers online analysis tools for data mining, providing free public services to aid eucalyptus gene function and genetic engineering studies.

MIPS: a database for genomes and protein sequences.

The Munich Information Center for Protein Sequences (MIPS-GSF), Martinsried near Munich, Germany, develops and maintains genome oriented databases. It is commonplace that the amount of sequence data available increases rapidly, but not the capacity of qualified manual annotation at the sequence databases. Therefore, our strategy aims to cope with the data stream by the comprehensive application of analysis tools to sequences of complete genomes, the systematic classification of protein sequences and the active support of sequence analysis and functional genomics projects. This report describes the systematic and up-to-date analysis of genomes (PEDANT), a comprehensive database of the yeast genome (MYGD), a database reflecting the progress in sequencing the Arabidopsis thaliana genome (MATD), the database of assembled, annotated human EST clusters (MEST), and the collection of protein sequence data within the framework of the PIR-International Protein Sequence Database (described elsewhere in this volume). MIPS provides access through its WWW server (http://www.mips.biochem.mpg.de) to a spectrum of generic databases, including the above mentioned as well as a database of protein families (PROTFAM), the MITOP database, and the all-against-all FASTA database.
