STRING 11.0 – Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting Genes/Proteins

STRING 11.0

:: DESCRIPTION

STRING (search tool for recurring instances of neighbouring genes) is a database and web resource dedicated to protein-protein interactions, including both physical and functional interactions. It weights and integrates information from numerous sources, including experimental repositories, computational prediction methods and public text collections, thus acting as a meta-database that maps all interaction evidence onto a common set of genomes and proteins.

ORFer 1.3.2.2 – Retrieval of Protein Sequences and Open Reading Frames from GenBank

ORFer 1.3.2.2

:: DESCRIPTION

ORFer (Open Reading Frame Retrieval) reads the NCBI GenBank XML sequence format and extracts open reading frames for proteins. Sequences can be requested by GI or accession number.The open reading frame corresponding to the protein sequences is extracted from the XML and displayed. ORFer has a database interface that allows for storing the retrieved sequences in a local SQL database.
