A comprehensive overview of different types of biological databases, including primary, secondary, and derived databases. It covers the key features and characteristics of major databases such as genbank, ddbj, embl, swiss-prot, pir, and genepept. The document also discusses the differences between global sequence alignment and local sequence alignment, explaining the needleman-wunsch and smith-waterman algorithms. This information would be valuable for students and researchers studying bioinformatics, computational biology, and related fields. A range of topics, including database structures, sequence analysis, and alignment techniques, making it a useful resource for understanding the fundamental concepts and tools in the field of biological data management and analysis.

th
Que: Details describe the different types of Biological Databases? Ans: A collection of biological data, biological sequence, binding sites, metabolic interactions, molecular action, functional relationship, protein families, motifs, and homologous, arranged in computer readable form to enhance the speed of search and retrieval and convenient to use is called biological database. Biological databases are divided into three types:
I. GenBank: - ๏ It is joined part of NCBI. ๏ It has a tool called Entrez which helps to retrieve data. ๏ It is maintained by NCBI, Bethesda USA. ๏ It is a one of the fastest growing database storage of known nucleotide sequences. ๏ Gen Bank has a flat file structure. ๏ This database is in the form of text form of ASCII file that is simple to analyse. ๏ Gen Bank files contains information of phylogenetic classification, accession number and gene names ๏ The nucleotide database was divided into three data base at NCBI: ๏ง Core nucleotide Databases ๏ง Expressed Sequence Tag ๏ง Genome Survey Sequence II. DDBJ: - ๏ DDBJ full form is โDNA Data Bank of Japanโ. ๏ It is storage of collection of DNA Sequences. ๏ Situated at National Institute of Genetics (NIG), Japan. ๏ It is technologically created by NIG in 1986. ๏ DDBJ is a single database in Asia. III. EMBL: - ๏ It is begun in 1980 and preserved by EBI. ๏ EMBL full form is European Molecular Biology laboratory. ๏ It is presented at EBI (European Bioinformatics Institute). ๏ SRS (sequence retrieval system) is a tool that is used to retrieve data of as we want the sequence of DNA, protein or gene. IV. Swiss-prot: - ๏ EMBL keep this database as owner. ๏ It is begun in 1986 and preserved by SIB(Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics), ๏ It is organized sequence of Database offers a high level integration with other Database.
SHARING
๏ X-Ray, Crystallography and Nuclear Medical Resonance are techniques to determine these biologically large molecules. ๏ Text file contain the PDB data in information of lines. II. MMDB: - ๏ MMDB full form is "Molecular Modelling Database" ๏ Analysis of Individual structures and relationships among them are: III. EBI-MSD: - ๏ European Bioinformatics Institute - Macromolecular Structure Database ๏ MSD Consist of two separate databases! IV. Prosite: - ๏ Prosite is firstly evolved secondary database. ๏ Protein structure, sites that describes functions and their families are components of PROSITE. ๏ PROSITE are programmed as a regular expression (called pattern) of protein functions. V. Blocks: - ๏ Block is clears the disadvantages of PROSITE and PRINT Databases. ๏ Block databases fully automated. ๏ Two important features are: o Keyword searching o Sequence searching
๏ท The initial data are taken from the primary database, cond then they are merged based on certain conditions. ๏ท It helps in searching sequence rapidly. ๏ท Composite Databases contain non-redundant data.
