bullet1995

12/30 OB-R Clone Announcement: Mouse and human leptin receptors (OB-R) cloned.

12/22 Human BRCA2 Gene Announcement: Human BRCA2 gene cloned.

 
12/06 Taxonomy Web Browser Taxonomy Web browser available. NCBI has created a phylogenetic classification system for the approximately 16,000 organisms thus far represented in GenBank and other sequence databases. The taxonomic structure can be viewed through a Web browser by simply clicking on taxa names. At the same time, you can retrieve DNA or protein sequences for any node. Information is also available about the resources used to build and maintain the taxonomy: books, journals, databases, and a panel of taxonomic experts.

11/30 OMIM NCBI now provides WWW access to OMIM (Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man), an electronic version of Dr. Victor McKusick's catalog of human genes and genetic disorders.

11/24 UniGene UniGene (Unique Human Gene Sequence Collection) organizes human GenBank sequences into "clusters" that represent distinct genes. These clusters are being used to develop a transcription map of the genome.

11/06 SQL Access to dbEST SQL access to dbEST available.

 
10/04 BankIt 2.2 Released Version 2.2 of the BankIt submission tool, which clarifies the way submitter information is included in the record(s) and prompts the submitter for coding sequence intervals (CDS) that can be added if the submitter knows this information.

10/02 Molecular Modeling Database (MMDB) WWW Entrez now includes the Molecular Modeling Database (MMDB) of 3-dimensional protein structures. Using the RasMol or Kinemage structure-viewing programs (both available at no cost), you can view these structures directly from your Web browser. See the WWW Entrez homepage for details.

09/27 User Comments Form

New form for user comments.


09/22 XREFdb Expanded XREFdb, the research project devoted to cross-referencing the genetics of model organisms with mammalian phenotypes and accelerating the identification of genes mutated in human disease states, has recently been expanded. The database now accepts protein queries from any organism and automatically performs monthly protein and EST BLAST searches for your queries of interest. XREFdb tracks matches that have been previously reported to you and automatically flags new matches for your inspection. This research project is funded by The National Center for Human Genome Research (1 R01 HG00971).

07/28 Haemophilus influenzae Announcement: Haemophilus influenzae complete genome.

07/10 Full Text of NCBI Papers New section: Full text of selected NCBI staff papers.

06/23 Ataxia-Telangiectasia Gene

Announcement: Ataxia-Telangiectasia gene cloned.

05/09 BankIt with Update Feature New version of the BankIt submission tool was released that allows authors of GenBank records to make updates via BankIt.

05/05 XREFdb Available XREFdb is accessible. Saccharomyces cerevisiae proteins are searched monthly vs. dbEST, and the most significant ESTs matched are being systematically placed on the mouse and human chromosomal maps, potentially establishing connections between yeast genes and mapped mammalian phenotypes (e.g., human disease). If you establish an XREFdb account, new EST matches and relevant EST mapping and mammalian phenotype information will be reported to you each month for queried S. cerevisiae proteins of interest.

04/21 NCBI News March 1995 issue of the NCBI News now available. Back issues to be added.

02/28 HMG-1 Box Protein Research on the HMG-1 box protein family and homology model building of the HMG-1 box structural domain.

02/14 Histone Proteins Research

Research on histone proteins and the histone fold motif.

02/10 Merck-Funded Human Genome Announcement: GenBank releases first installment of Merck-funded human gene sequences.

02/06 BankIt Announced A new GenBank submissions tool, called BankIt, is now available. It allows direct submissions to GenBank using a Web browser.

01/12 NCBI Web Page Reorganized

New graphics and reorganization for NCBI Web page.

01/12 Table of Inherited Disease Genes A table of inherited disease genes identified by positional cloning providing links to GenBank records, OMIM entries, and information on sequence complexity.
