Abstract

We describe the construction of a simple application for the visualization of sphere packs, with applications to molecular graphics. Our development environment is IRIS Explorer, one of the new generation of so-called dataflow toolkits. We emphasize particularly the way in which working in such an environment facilitates the design and construction process, paying special attention to tools which aid the importing of data into the application, the design of the user interface, and the extension or modification of existing tools. Some examples of the use of the application in the field of molecular modeling are presented.

ProDom and ProDom-CG: tools for protein domain analysis and whole genome comparisons.

ProDom contains all protein domain families automatically generated from the SWISS-PROT and TrEMBL sequence databases (http://www. toulouse.inra.fr/prodom.html ). ProDom-CG results from a similar domain analysis as applied to completed genomes (http://www.toulouse. inra.fr/prodomCG.html ). Recent improvements to the ProDom database and its server include: scaling up to include sequences from TrEMBL, addition of Pfam-A entries to the set of expert validated families, assignment of stable accession numbers, consistency indicators for domain families, domain arrangements of sub-families and links to Pfam-A.

Keio Mutation Database (KMDB) for human disease gene mutations.

A database of mutations in human disease-causing genes has been constructed and named as Keio Mutation Database (KMDB). This KMDB utilizes a database software called MutationView which was designed to compile various mutation data and to provide graphical presentation of data analysis. Currently, the KMDB accommodates mutation data of 38 different genes for 35 different diseases which are involved in eye, heart, ear and brain. These KMDBs are accessible through http://mutview.dmb.med.keio.ac.jp with advanced internet browsers.

ProtoMap: automatic classification of protein sequences and hierarchy of protein families.

The ProtoMap site offers an exhaustive classification of all proteins in the SWISS-PROT database, into groups of related proteins. The classification is based on analysis of all pairwise similarities among protein sequences. The analysis makes essential use of transitivity to identify homologies among proteins. Within each group of the classification, every two members are either directly or transitively related. However, transitivity is applied restrictively in order to prevent unrelated proteins from clustering together. The classification is done at different levels of confidence, and yields a hierarchical organization of all proteins. The resulting classification splits the protein space into well-defined groups of proteins, which are closely correlated with natural biological families and superfamilies. Many clusters contain protein sequences that are not classified by other databases. The hierarchical organization suggested by our analysis may help in detecting finer subfamilies in families of known proteins. In addition it brings forth interesting relationships between protein families, upon which local maps for the neighborhood of protein families can be sketched. The ProtoMap web server can be accessed at http://www.protomap.cs.huji.ac.il
