ElDorado

High quality genome annotation

About Numbers Access  
 

ElDorado is the Genomatix genome annotation. It is based on the publicly available reference genome assemblies of 18 different organisms. Information from a variety of different sources together with data generated by Genomatix' proprietary algorithms is used to set up a database of more than 500 gigabytes of quality checked data. The individual elements are highly linked to external data sources (e.g. NCBI, Ensembl, TIGR, ...).

Representing a common sequence basis it allows us to integrate literature based information about gene-gene interactions and pathway annotation from BiblioSphere PathwayEdition together with experimental gene expression data e.g. from ChipInspector.


ElDorado Contents

  • Transcripts with exon/intron structure, UTRs, CDS, and protein sequence
  • Promoters for each transcript analysed for transcription factor binding sites and regulatory modules
  • CAGE tags, providing additional experimental support for full length transcripts
  • PromoterInspector predictions
  • microRNAs
  • SNPs and their effects on transcription factor binding sites and protein sequences
  • genomic repeats
  • SMARs
  • genomic location for individual probes from Affymetrix chips

ElDorado Features

  • The gene name query of ElDorado supports extended lists of gene name synonyms and variants.
  • Very fast algorithm for exon mapping evaluating the cDNA for canonical splice sites
  • Detailed gene information, integrating information from different public sources (e.g. EntrezGene, GeneOntology) with manually curated gene-gene interactions by Genomatix.
  • Comparative Genomics (patent pending) allows you to compare the annotation available for a group of orthologous genes and to identify corresponding promoter regions for the analysis of phylogenetically conserved promoter elements.
  • Literature analysis gives you access to the genes cocited in the scientific literature providing direct links to BiblioSphere PathwayEdition for further in-depth analysis.

ElDorado Output

For each gene of interest, ElDorado lists information based on the gene sequence and information based on literature analysis.
