Abstract

The challenge for the next decade will be to harness the wealth of protein sequence, structural and functional information being generated by the international genome initiatives, in order to reveal the molecular mechanisms of protein evolution, and the regulatory processes which control the observed phenotypes. Exploiting this genomic data will depend on building robust interfaces between the plethora of specialised databases being set up by experts in complementary areas of genome analysis. The structural data is essential for providing detailed insights into a protein's function, catalytic mechanism and interactions with other proteins. The project will develop data warehousing technology to enable an integrated view of primary structural data at the European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI) and derived data at UCL in order to provide extensive structural and functional data for the genomes. (Joint with grants 27/BIO14463 and 31/BIO14453).
