2. INTRODUCTION
• GENE- Functional unit regulated by transcription
and encodes an RNA product which is most
commonly, but not always, translated in to a
protein that exerts activity within or outside cell.
• GENOME- Complete set of genes or genetic
material present in a cell or organism.
• GENOMIC- An organism's entire genetic
information, the genome and the function and
interaction of DNA within the genome .
3. Cont..
• PHARMACOGENOMICS-The study of the role
of the genome in drug response.
• BIOLOGICAL DATABASES- Libraries of life
sciences information, collected from scientific
experiments, published literature, high-
throughput experiment technology, and
computational analysis.

5. BIOLOGICAL DATA BASE CATEGORIES
• Databases of nucleic acid sequences(RNA,DNA)
• Databases of protein sequences
• Databases of protein motifs and protein
domains
• Databases of structures
• Databases of genome
• Databases of genes
• Databases of SNPs & mutations etc.
6. GENOMIC DATABASES
• GENOMIC DATABASES- The official central repository
for genomic mapping data resulting from the Human
Genome.
• HUMAN GENOME PROJECT was initiated in the mid-
1980s.
• BIOINFORMATICS led to completion of a draft human
sequence in 2000 and completion of DNA sequence
for last of the human chromosomes in May 2006.
• HUMAN DNA consists of 3 billion base pairs of DNA
per haploid genome, which is nearly 1000 fold >
Escherichia coli genome.
9. Cont..
• Genome databases contain genomic
information collected from many sources.
Genome assembly
Gene predictions
Known genes, mRNA, proteins
Genetic maps, markers and polymorphisms
Gene expression and phenotypes
Annotations
Interspecies homologues

18. TYPES OF GENOMIC DATABASES
• Databases which collect data of all sequenced
genomes (Entrez_Genomes; EBI_genomes)
• Databases which collect data of a category of
organisms with sequenced genomes
(Microbial Genomes at TIGR)
• Databases specific for one organism with
sequenced genomes (Flybase, MGD, Ensembl)
31. GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
• Organism specific Databases can be more up-
to- date than General Databases.
• Genomic Databases are not a one stop shop
for all informations,other Databases like
Uniport are still needed.
