Welcome to the DracoBase prototype. This prototype is intended to serve as a starting point for a discussion about bioinformatics tools in Geniverse.

Genes that produce heritable phenotypes are annotated with phenotype terms from a very small controlled vocabulary accessible through the Phenotype Term Search.

There are also Gene Models for all of the genes with heritable phenotypes, as well as Gene Models for many additional genes. Gene Models include the predicted transcript, the predicted protein product, and an alignment of the protein product to that of mouse. There is Molecular Function annotation imported from the mouse gene. If there is an associated human disease, there is a brief entry on the disease.

The gene models are from various non-mammalian vertebrates as indicated in the table below. As many as possible are from Anolis carolinensis, the remainder are from stickleback, zebrafish and chicken. I have added many additional gene models that are not currently posted on the writeboard Genes and Traits for Drakes 2.

Please see the Reports for access to all the Gene Models.

For a set of demonstrations on sequence data from mutant drakes, please see the demo page, adapted from the shared document Outline of DNA to Trait Projects, April 2011.
