 The
UCSC Proteome Browser |
| The UCSC Proteome Browser presents a rich set of useful protein properties, and
it links to other valuable protein and genomic data sources available on the
Web. For the first time, a user can access both the genome world and proteome
world at the same time. Integrated into the UCSC Genome Browser, the proteome browser can be accessed through the “known genes track” on genomes that include it (such as human, mouse, and rat). Clicking on a gene that has records associated with it makes the proteome browser available (under “Quick Links to Tools and Databases”). For each protein, the browser displays its corresponding genomic exon structure (showing the coding portion of the genome) along with its amino acid sequence. A click on a particular exon will bring up the genome browser, which displays the genomic region of this exon together with other relevant data. The protein browser contains various data tracks that help visualize regions that may be of interest. It also contains three-dimensional structures and histograms showing a variety of properties, such as molecular weight, hydrophobicity, and frequencies of particular amino acids.  More ...
