MiGenes Unique Features
The MiGenes database has four unique features in comparison with other databases of mitochondrial proteins.
- MiGenes was created to organize information on mitochondrial proteins in humans and several model organisms including mouse, rat, frog, fruit fly, worm, baker's yeast and fission yeast.
- MiGenes permits a user to retrieve information on a protein using a variety of aliases and alternative accession numbers by which the protein may be known.
- MiGenes supports batchwise searches that enable a researcher to input several accession numbers at a time to identify the proteins they represent.
MiGenes will provide an advanced interface with the standardized nomenclature of the Gene Ontology consortium to permit searching for all proteins identified with a specific GO term. Thus, it will be possible to search for all human proteins involved in mtDNA replication or all mouse proteins involved in lipid metabolism, etc.
