BioIDMapper

BioIDMapper maps biological identifiers across multiple databases to integrate gene, mRNA, protein, and functional annotations for downstream biological analysis.


Key Features:

  • Cross-referencing: Maps identifiers between Entrez Gene, UniProt, Gene Ontology, EMBL, OMIM, PubMed, and KEGG to consolidate annotations at gene, mRNA, and protein levels.
  • ID system integration: Integrates disparate identifier systems to enable management and analysis of specific ID lists and consolidation of information from multiple sources.
  • Leverages external resources: Uses resources from NCBI and UniProt to provide comprehensive cross-references and functional annotations.

Scientific Applications:

  • Annotation consolidation: Consolidates gene, protein, mRNA, and functional annotations across Entrez Gene, UniProt, Gene Ontology, EMBL, OMIM, PubMed, and KEGG.
  • ID list analysis: Supports management and analysis of user-specified ID lists for comparative and integrative studies.
  • Knowledge integration: Facilitates integration of disparate database records to assemble unified biological knowledge for downstream analyses.

Methodology:

Implemented as an R package that leverages NCBI and UniProt resources to map identifiers across Entrez Gene, UniProt, Gene Ontology, EMBL, OMIM, PubMed, and KEGG.
