This document discusses different biological database file formats for storing sequence and molecular data. It describes several common formats including FASTA, Multi-FASTA, GeneBank flat-file format, GCG, EMBL, Clustal, and SWISS PROT. It provides details on the header, feature, and sequence sections of each format and how they represent genetic and protein information.

1. 1

2.  Data is stored in a biological database in
the form of sequences or molecular form
 Unique file format
 Representation of data in biological
database
 Categories of file formats
 Sequence database
 Molecular database

3.  Gene bank flat-file Format
 FASTA Format
 Multi-FASTA Format
 GCG Format
 GCG-MSF Format
 EMBL Format
 Clustal Format
 SWIS PROT format

4.  Used by NCBI
 It is divided into three parts
 Header just a direct and very precise or
brief introductory part
 Features
all genes in seq., location of genes in genome,
protein product and coding genes etc.
 Sequence : ORIGIN atcgatcgatgcgctat //

5.  HEADRES
 Locus
 Definition
 Accession
 Version
 Dbsource: dates for creation and modifications
 Keywords
 Source
 Organism
 References
 Authors
 Title
 Journal
 Medline ID: all published sources
 Comment

9.  One line header
 Stats with > followed by name of gene
 Sequence of gene or protein
 Blank spaces
 Paragraph marks
 Numerals

12.  Just like an aggregation of FASTA file as listed
above
 Multiple sequences follow one after the other
 Single file
 Accepted by several databases
 Clustal W
 Multalin

15.  GCG: genetics computer group
 First line says it all ….
 !!N.A_SEQUENCE 1.0
 !!AA_SEQUENCE 1.0
 Just a simple format in which we just get
to now the sequence for the genes or
proteins
15

16. 16

17.  Multiple sequences
 Sequence name
 Sequences
 Alignment
 Word pileup indicates that It is a multiple
sequence containing file
 Mandatory MSF word indicated in the file that
tells that it is an MSF GCG file and is not just
GCG
 Comments terminated with //
 2 consecutive blank lines
 Multiple sequences 17

18. 18

19.  Sequence format of European molecular
biology laboratory database
 Starts with ID identification number
 Ends with // as terminator
 Different lines with own format
 Used to record various forms of data
 i.e DNA, RNA, GENE, PROTEIN etc etc
19

20. 20

21.  Most widely used sequence alignment tool
 CLUSTAL W
 CLUSTAL X
 Aligned protein or gene sequences
21

22. 22

23.  Protein sequence database
 ID : identification number
 AC: accession number
 DE: description
 GN: gene name
 OS: organism specie
 OG: organelle
 OC: organism classification
 OX: organism taxonomy cross reference
 RN: reference number
 RP: reference position 23

24.  RC: reference comment
 RX: reference cross reference
 RA: reference author
 RT: reference title
 RL: reference location
 CC: blank
 DR: database cross reference
 KW: key word
 FT: feature table
 SQ: sequence 24

26.  Several software's have been designed by … ?
 The aim of these software's is to make a
detailed conversion of one sequence format
into another
 Some of the software used widely for sequence
inter-conversion are :
 ReadSeq
 GCG
 SeqVerter
 Seqret 26

27.  Developed by Dr. D.G Gilbert
 Automated conversion
 18 supported file formats are there which
can be interconverted into one another
