An introduction to biological databases
Database or databank ? At the beginning, subtle distinctions were done between databases and databanks (in UK, but not in the USA), such as: « Database management programs for the gestion of databanks » From now on, the term « database » (db) is usually preferred
What is a database ? A collection of. . . structured searchable (index) updated periodically (release) cross-referenced (hyperlinks) -> table of contents -> new edition -> links with other db …data Includes also associated tools (software) necessary for db access, db updating, db information insertion, db information deletion…. Data storage management: flat files, relational databases…
Databases: a « flat-file » example « Introduction To Database » Teacher Database (ITDTdb) (flat file, 3 entries) Accession number: 1 First Name: Amos Last Name: Bairoch Course: DEA=oct-nov-dec 2000 http: //expasy 4. expasy. ch/people/amos. html // Accession number: 2 First Name: Laurent Last name: Falquet Course: EMBnet=sept 2000; DEA=oct-nov-dec 2000; // Accession number 3: First Name: Marie-Claude Last name: Blatter Garin Course: EMBnet=sept 2000; DEA=oct-nov-dec 2000; http: //expasy 4. expasy. ch/people/Marie-Claude. Blatter-Garin. html // Easy to manage: all the entries are visible at the same time !

Why biological databases ? Explosive growth in biological data Data (sequences, 3 D structures, 2 D gel analysis, MS analysis, Microarrays…. ) are no longer published in a conventional manner, but directly submitted to databases Essential tools for biological research, as classical publications used to be !
Some statistics More than 1000 different databases Variable size: <100 Kb to >10 Gb DNA: > 10 Gb Protein: 1 Gb 3 D structure: 5 Gb Other: smaller Update frequency: daily to annually Generally accessible through the web (free!? ) Amos’ links: www. expasy. org/alinks. html Google: http: //www. google. com

Human genome • The completion of the draft human genome sequence has been announced on 26 -June-2000. • Publication of the public Human Genome Sequence in Nature the 15 th february 2001. Approx. 30, 000 genes are analysed, 1. 4 million SNPs and much more. • The draft sequence data is available at EMBL/GENBANK/DDJB • Finished: The clone insert is contiguously sequenced with high quality standard of error rate of 0. 01%. There are usually no gaps in the sequence. • The general assumption is that about 50% of the bases are redundant. 2002
Finished: The clone insert is contiguously sequenced with high quality standard of error rate of 0. 01%. There are usually no gaps in the sequence.
Nucleotid databases and « associated » genomic projects/databases Problem: Redundancy = makes Blasts searches of the complete databases useless for detecting anything behond the closest homologs. Solutions: • assemblies of genomic sequence data (contigs) and corresponding RNA and protein sequences -> dataset of genomic contigs, RNAs and proteins • annotation of genes, RNAs, proteins, variation (SNPs), STS markers, gene prediction, nomenclature and chromosomal location. • compute connexions to other resources (cross-references) Examples: Ref. Seq/Locus link (drosophila, human, mouse, rat and zebrafish), TIGR (microbes and plants), Ens. EMBL (Eukaryota)…

Ref. Seq a SWISS-PROT clone? The NCBI Reference Sequence project (Ref. Seq) will provide reference sequence standards for the naturally occurring molecules of the central dogma, from chromosomes to m. RNAs to proteins. Ref. Seq standards provide a foundation for the functional annotation of the human genome. They provide a stable reference point for mutation analysis, gene expression studies, and polymorphism discovery.

Ref. Seq a SWISS-PROT clone? Ref. Seq records are created via a process consisting of: identifying sequences that represent distinct genes establishing the correct gene name-to-accession number association identifying the full extent of available sequence data creating a new Ref. Seq record with a status of: PREDICTED (some part of the record is predicted) PROVISIONAL (not yet reviewed by NCBI staff) REVIEWED (reviewed and extended by NCBI staff) Genome Annotation (contigs, m. RNA and proteins generated automatically) Provisional Ref. Seq records are non-redundant and reviewed by a biologist who confirms the initial name-to-sequence association, adds information including a summary of gene function, and, more importantly, corrects, re-annotates, or extends the sequence data using data available in other Gen. Bank records.
ESTs and Unigene is an ongoing effort at NCBI to cluster EST sequences with traditional gene sequences For each cluster, there is a lot of additional information included Unigene is regularly rebuilt. Therefore, cluster identifiers are not stable gene indices Species: Human, Mouse, Rat, Cow, Zebrafish, and recently also Frog, Cress, Rice, Barley, Maize, Wheat
Databases 2: genomics Contain information on genes, gene location (mapping), gene nomenclature and links to sequence databases; usually no sequence! Exist for most organisms important for life science research; species specific. Examples: MIM, GDB (human), MGD (mouse), Fly. Base (Drosophila), SGD (yeast), Maize. DB (maize), Subti. List (B. subtilis), etc. ; Format: generally relational (Oracle, Sy. Base or Ace. Db).
MIM OMIM™: Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man a catalog of human genes and genetic disorders contains a summary of literature, pictures, and reference information. It also contains numerous links to articles and sequence information.

SWISS-PROT Collaboration between the SIB (CH) and EMBL/EBI (UK) Annotated (manually), non-redundant, crossreferenced, documented protein sequence database. ~113 ’ 000 sequences from more than 6’ 800 different species; 70 ’ 000 references (publications); 550 ’ 000 cross-references (databases); ~200 Mb of annotations. Weekly releases; available from about 50 servers across the world, the main source being Ex. PASy
Tr. EMBL (Translation of EMBL) Computer-annotated supplement to SWISS-PROT, as it is impossible to cope with the flow of data… Well-structured SWISS-PROT-like resource Derived from automated EMBL CDS translation (maintained at the EBI (UK)) Tr. EMBL is automatically generated annotated using software tools (incompatible with the SWISS-PROT in terms of quality) Tr. EMBL contains all what is not yet in SWISSPROT Yerk!! But there is no choice and these software tools are becoming quite good !

Database 5: protein domain/family Contains biologically significant « pattern / profiles/ HMM » formulated in such a way that, with appropriate computional tools, it can rapidly and reliably determine to which known family of proteins (if any) a new sequence belongs to -> tools to identify what is the function of uncharacterized proteins translated from genomic or c. DNA sequences ( « functional diagnostic » )

DNA sequences ( « functional diagnostic » )
Protein domain/family Most proteins have « modular » structure Estimation: ~ 3 domains / protein Domains (conserved sequences or structures) are identified by multiple sequence alignments Domains can be defined by different methods: Pattern (regular expression); used for very conserved domains Profiles (weighted matrices): two-dimensional tables of position specific match-, gap-, and insertion-scores, derived from aligned sequence families; used for less conserved domains Hidden Markov Model (HMM); probabilistic models; an other method to generate profiles.
Protein domain/family db Secondary databases are the fruit of analyses of the sequences found in the primary sequence db Either manually curated (i. e. PROSITE, Pfam, etc. ) or automatically generated (i. e. Pro. Dom, DOMO) Some depend on the method used to detect if a protein belongs to a particular domain/family (patterns, profiles, HMM, PSI-BLAST)

Databases 6: proteomics Contain informations obtained by 2 D-PAGE: master images of the gels and description of identified proteins Examples: SWISS-2 DPAGE, ECO 2 DBASE, Maize 2 DPAGE, Sub 2 D, Cyano 2 DBase, etc. Format: composed of image and text files Most 2 D-PAGE databases are “federated” and use SWISS-PROT as a master index There is currently no protein Mass Spectrometry (MS) database (not for long…)
This protein does not exist in the current release of SWISS-2 DPAGE. EPO_HUMAN (human plasma) Should be here…
Databases 7: 3 D structure Contain the spatial coordinates of macromolecules whose 3 D structure has been obtained by X-ray or NMR studies Proteins represent more than 90% of available structures (others are DNA, RNA, sugars, virus, complex protein/DNA…) RCSB or PDB (Protein Data Bank), CATH and SCOP (structural classification of proteins (according to the secondary structures)), BMRB (Bio. Mag. Res. Bank; NMR results) DSSP: Database of Secondary Structure Assignments. HSSP: Homology-derived secondary structure of proteins. FSSP: Fold Classification based on Structure-Structure Assignments. SWISS-MODEL: Homology-derived 3 D structure db
RCSB or PDB: Protein Data Bank Managed by Research Collaboratory for Structural Bioinformatics (RCSB) (USA). Contains macromolecular structure data on proteins, nucleic acids, protein-nucleic acid complexes, and viruses. Specialized programs allow the vizualisation of the corresponding 3 D structure. (e. g. , Swiss. PDBviewer, Cn 3 D) Currently there are ~18’ 000 structure data for 6’ 000 different molecules, but far less protein family (highly redundant) ! EPO_HUMAN

Databases 8: metabolic Contain informations that describe enzymes, biochemical reactions and metabolic pathways; ENZYME and BRENDA: nomenclature databases that store informations on enzyme names and reactions; Metabolic databases: Eco. Cyc (specialized on Escherichia coli), KEGG, EMP/WIT; Usualy these databases are tightly coupled with query software that allows the user to visualise reaction schemes.
Databases 9: bibliographic Bibliographic reference databases contain citations and abstract informations of published life science articles; Example: Medline Other more specialized databases also exist (example: Agricola).
Medline MEDLINE covers the fields of medicine, nursing, dentistry, veterinary medicine, the health care system, and the preclinical sciences more than 4, 600 biomedical journals published in the United States and 70 other countries Contains over 11 million citations since 1966 until now Contains links to biological db and to some journals New records are added to Pre. MEDLINE daily! Many papers not dealing with human are not in Medline ! Before 1970, keeps only the first 10 authors ! Not all journals have citations since 1966 !
Medline/Pubmed Pub. Med is developed by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) Pub. Med provides access to bibliographic information such as MEDLINE, Pre. MEDLINE, Health. STAR, and to integrated molecular biology databases (composite db) PMID: 10923642 (Pub. Med ID) UI: 20378145 (Medline ID)
Databases 10: others There are many databases that cannot be classified in the categories listed previously; Examples: Re. Base (restriction enzymes), TRANSFAC (transcription factors), Carb. Bank, Glyco. Suite. DB (linked sugars), Protein-protein interactions db (DIP, Pro. Net, BIND, MINT), Protease db (MEROPS), biotechnology patents db, etc. ; As well as many other resources concerning any aspects of macromolecules and molecular biology.
Proliferation of databases What is the best db for sequence analysis ? Which does contain the highest quality data ? Which is the more comprehensive ? Which is the more up-to-date ? Which is the less redundant ? Which is the more indexed (allows complex queries) ? Which Web server does respond most quickly ? ……. ? ? ?
Some important practical remarks Databases: many errors (automated annotation) ! Not all db are available on all servers The update frequency is not the same for all servers; creation of db_new between releases (exemple: EMBLnew; Tr. EMBLnew…. ) Some servers add automatically useful crossreferences to an entry (implicit links) in addition to already existing links (explicit links)
Database retrieval tools Sequence Retrieval System (SRS, Europe) allows any flatfile db to be indexed to any other; allows to formulate queries across a wide range of different db types via a single interface, without any worry about data structure, query languages… Entrez (USA): less flexible than SRS but exploits the concept of « neighbouring » , which allows related articles in different db to be linked together, whether or not they are cross-referenced directly ATLAS: specific for macromolecular sequences db (i. e. NRL 3 D) ….
