  1. Bio tool frameworks David BernickBioMolecular EngineeringUC Santa Cruz

  2. Frameworks • Tool Integration • Tool description and links • File type conversion • File Storage • Computational services

  3. Examples • Biology Workbench • http://workbench.sdsc.edu • Next Generation Biology Workbench • http://www.ngbw.org • Expasy Tools (Expert Protein Analysis) • http://us.expasy.org • Protein Analysis • NCBI Genome Workbench • http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/projects/gbench/ • local -- not Web based • sequence analysis

  4. Biology Workbench • San Diego Supercomputer Center • Protein and Nucleic acid • search • alignment • analysis • visualization • common interface • file storage and conversion • tutorials

  5. Next Generation Biology Workbench (Swami) • San Diego Supercomputer Center • Replacement for Biology Workbench

  6. ExPasy tools • Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics • metasite - no file storage • proteins - sequence and structure • Life Science directory

  7. Nucleic acid analysisBiology Workbench • PfAgo - nucleic sequence • TACG - restriction site analysis • Blastn, Blastx • Primer3 • NA stats • SixFrame • RevComp

  8. Usage • 1U04 - pdb structure • Q8U3D2 - UniProt ascension • PF0537 - Systematic name • NP_578266.1 - NCBI protein ascension • We know of relatives in Aquifex aeolicus and Methanocaldococcus jannaschii • We also know that the Piwi domain is detectable. • Is the Methanopyrus kandleri version a 4-domain Argonaute?

  9. Analysis strategy • Protein or DNA sequence? • Data source • What should we look for ? • Search method • Alignment method • Visualization

  10. Piwi domain in Prokaryotes

  11. Argonaute Protein

  12. Analysis • Protein - select PF0537 from UCSC Archaeal Browser • Data source - Non-redundant Protein Database • What should we look for? • include a positive and a negative (4 domain and 3 domain) • Search method - Blastp • Alignment method - ClustalW • Visualization

  13. In class exercises • What is the closest bacterial example of a 4- domain Argonaute ? • (not counting Aquifex aeolicus) • What is the GC content of PF0537 ?
