Abstract

The second release of Thermodynamic Database for Nucleic Acids, NTDB 2.0, includes more than 4600 entries (250% increase over release 1.0). It contains sequence types and details of several thermodynamic parameters (enthalpy, DeltaH; entropy, DeltaS; Gibbs free energy, DeltaG; melting temperature, T(m)), experimental models and methods for extracting thermodynamic parameters, buffer conditions as well as all relevant literature information. In addition, the database statistics and references related to NTDB are included. Information on normal and modified nucleobases and nucleosides are collected in a new section 'Nucleoside' whereby data collected thus far will be release in NTDB 2.0. The NTDB is freely available at http://ntdb.chem.cuhk.edu.hk.

The INSDC specifications-foundations for a FAIR and global INSDC.

Members of the International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration (INSDC; https://www.insdc.org/) collect, exchange, and preserve comprehensive open nucleotide sequence information and provide tools for its access. The INSDC has stated its commitment to welcoming new members into the collaboration to be more representative of the global community of data and users. To reach this goal, a comprehensive definition of the INSDC data model and minimum requirements for data acceptance have been established. Here we describe the processes used to arrive upon these INSDC Specifications and lay out strategies for their continued upkeep to remain current and relevant. Database URL:  https://www.insdc.org/.

In polymorphic genomic regions indels cluster with nucleotide polymorphism: Quantum Genomics.

Previously, we have described polymorphic frozen blocks (PFBs) within the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) as regions of several hundred kilobases characterised by high nucleotide diversity, little or no recombination, duplicated segments, disease susceptibility, and human endogenous retroviruses. The nucleotide diversity profile within these PFBs shows peaks and troughs outside of the Class I genes, reflecting other important genes (or sequences) in the region. Here we show that indel density is also clustered with similar peaks and troughs. In fact, SNPs and indels are co-located within PFBs.

Biological SOAP servers and web services provided by the public sequence data bank.

A number of biological data resources (i.e. databases and data analytical tools) are searchable and usable on-line thanks to the internet and the World Wide Web (WWW) servers. The output from the web server is easy for us to browse. However, it is laborious and sometimes impossible for us to write a computer program that finds a useful data resource, sends a proper query and processes the output. It is a serious obstacle to the integration of distributed heterogeneous data resources. To solve the issue, we have implemented a SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) server and web services that provide a program-friendly interface. The web services are accessible at http://www.xml.nig.ac.jp/.
