Ariadne Genomics, Inc., announced the availability of its new free web service - Protein ID
Mapping, enabling
biology researchers from academia and pharmaceutical
industry to map protein IDs from one database source or microarray
platform to another. The new service is available at
www.ariadnegenomics.com.
gene expression data from microarray experiments is now in abundance.
However, it comes in the format of protein ID lists from various
database sources or microarray platforms. To plan further experiments,
scientists often need to find a list of ortholog IDs for a different
organism, or re-map Probe IDs from one microarray chip to another.
The new Service from Ariadne Genomics finds a specified set of database
identification strings (IDs) for a list of protein names or IDs from a
different source. The Protein ID Mapping Service works for the following
databases:
GenBank (including EST IDs)
Microarray Probe ID (
Affymetrix, Agilent)
Unigene
LocusLink
Mouse Genome
informatics (MGI)
human genome Organization (HUGO)
Rat Genome Database (RGD).
"The development of Protein ID Mapping Service was inspired by multiple
requests from our PathwayAssistTM customers", said Anton Yuryev,
Director of Application Science of Ariadne Genomics. "It allows
scientists to obtain LocusLink or Probe IDs corresponding to their EST
IDs-for further experiment planning, or for import into PathwayAssistTM
software for visualization and analysis."
