Protein Networks

Protein Networks

An organism can have thousands of different proteins, and these proteins must cooperate to ensure the health of an organism. Proteins bind to other proteins and form complexes to carry out their functions. Many proteins interact with multiple other proteins creating a complex network of protein interactions.
These interactions can be represented through maps depicting protein-protein interaction networks, represented as nodes and edges. Nodes are circles that are representative of a protein,...

Archival Research

Archival Research

Some researchers gain access to large amounts of data without interacting with a single research participant. Instead, they use existing records to answer various research questions. This type of research approach is known as archival research. Archival research relies on looking at past records or data sets to look for interesting patterns or relationships. For example, a researcher might access the academic records of all individuals who enrolled in college within the past ten years and...

Area of Science:

Bioinformatics
Genomics
Museum Studies
Biodiversity Informatics

Background:

GenBank submissions contain an increasing number of sequences derived from scientifically vouchered specimens.
These specimens are housed in diverse natural history collections, including living collections, herbaria, museums, and culture collections.
Accurate specimen identification and clear association with their originating institutions are crucial for the validity and reproducibility of genomic studies.

Purpose of the Study:

To establish a centralized database for linking sequence data to their source institutions.
To improve the traceability and accessibility of sequence records derived from natural history collections.
To facilitate cross-referencing between sequence data and institutional collection holdings.

Main Methods:

Development and implementation of the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) BioCollections Database.
Establishing a system to associate GenBank sequence submissions with their corresponding specimen vouchers and home institutions.
Enabling cross-linking functionalities for quick identification of records from specific collections.

Main Results:

The NCBI BioCollections Database successfully links specimen vouchers and associated sequence records to their home institutions.
This facilitates the identification of all records originating from each collection through cross-linking.
Provides a centralized resource for managing and accessing biodiversity-related sequence data.

Conclusions:

The NCBI BioCollections Database enhances the integrity and utility of sequence data derived from natural history collections.
It provides a critical infrastructure for biodiversity research, enabling better data provenance and discovery.
This initiative supports the integration of molecular data with traditional taxonomic and collection-based research.
