GPSDB

GPSDB aggregates gene and protein names and synonyms from 14 primary biological resources to provide a species-organized reference for genomics and proteomics research.

Key Features:

• Species-Specific Organization: The database organizes gene and protein names and synonyms by species.
• Synonym Retrieval: Retrieves all known synonyms associated with a given gene or protein name.
• Medline Query Capability: Enables querying Medline using selected terms to retrieve relevant biomedical literature linking names to publications.
• Data Aggregation: Aggregates nomenclature data from 14 primary biological resources to ensure broad coverage.

Scientific Applications:

• Data Integration: Enhances integration of genetic and proteomic data across diverse biological databases by harmonizing nomenclature.
• Annotation and Interpretation: Supports accurate annotation and interpretation of genomic and proteomic datasets by providing synonym mappings.
• Literature Linking: Facilitates literature reviews and retrieval by connecting gene and protein names and synonyms to Medline articles.

Methodology:

Gene and protein names were systematically extracted from 14 major biological resources to construct the database.
