A database of six eukaryotic hypothetical genes and proteins

Abstract

Assigning functions to proteins of unknown function is of considerable interest to the proteomic researchers as the genes encoding them are conserved over various species. Here, we describe HypoDB, a database of hypothetical genes and proteins in six eukaryotes. The database was collected and organized based on the number of entries in each chromosome with few annotations. Hypothetical protein database contains information related to gene and protein sequences, chromosome number and location, secondary and tertiary structure related data. AVAILABILITY: The database is available for free at http://www.trimslabs.com/database/hypodb/index.html.
