In the era of high-throughput technologies there is an imperative need to integrate large-scale data sets from high-throughput experimental techniques using computational methods and database resources to provide comprehensive information about the whole cellular system of a single organism.Results – In the framework of the German Systems Biology initiative GoFORSYS a pathway/genome database and web-portal for Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (ChlamyCyc) was established, which currently features about 270 metabolic pathways with related genes, enzymes, and compound information. ChlamyCyc was assembled using an integrative approach combining the recently published genome sequence, bioinformatics methods, and experimental data from metabolomics and proteomics experiments. We analyzed and integrated a combination of primary and secondary database resources, such as existing genome annotations from JGI, EST collections, orthology information, and MapMan classification.Conclusion – Chlamycyc provides a curated and integrated systems biology repository that will enable and assist in systematic studies of fundamental cellular processes in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. The ChlamyCyc database and web-portal is freely available under http://chlamycyc.mpimp-golm.mpg.de. http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/npre.2009.3108.1 Tue, 21 Apr 2009 17:08:33 UTC ChlamyCyc – a comprehensive database and web-portal centered on Chlamydomonas reinhardtii doi:10.1038/npre.2009.3108.1 2009-04-21 Jan-Ole Christian Nature Precedings 2009-04-21T17:08:33Z Poster Genetics & Genomics Bioinformatics Plant Biology http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/npre.2007.670.1 The new version of DNALinux (VDE) is presented. DNALinux VDE is a departure from traditional distributions since it uses a virtual machine to bundle together the operating system and bioinformatics applications. The main advantage of this approach is that a virtualized environment doesn’t affect a installed system. With a virtual machine a Linux system can be run under a Windows system, provided that the virtual machine player is installed. The included programs are listed and specifications to add more programs are explained. We believe that DNALinux could be used as a standardized virtual machine for learning, using, developing and testing bioinformatics applications. http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/npre.2007.670.1 Mon, 13 Aug 2007 05:14:24 UTC DNALinux Virtual Desktop Edition doi:10.1038/npre.2007.670.1 2007-08-13 Sebastian Bassi Nature Precedings 2007-08-13T05:14:24Z Manuscript Biotechnology Bioinformatics http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5/
