Our newest feature is EchoLOCATION, which aims to predict subcellular localisation for all E. coli proteins by integrating data over a wide range of literature and bioinformatics tools. Every individual gene has an EchoLOCATION prediction which can be viewed in each gene page, while the EchoLOCATION page presents summary information for the subcellular location of all E. coli proteins. If you use EchoLOCATION in your work then please cite Horler et al., (2009) EchoLOCATION: an in silico analysis of the subcellular locations of Escherichia coli proteins and comparison with experimentally derived locations. Bioinformatics 25:163-166.
NEW: EchoLOCATION data used to populate Adam Feist's new compartmentalised E. coli metabolic model in 2014.
EchoBase is a database that curates new experimental and bioinformatic information about the genes and gene products of the model bacterium Escherichia coli K-12 strain MG1655. See the Introduction Page for more information on our data sources, annotation and credits. If you are interested in comparing E. coli K-12 genomes to those of pathogenic E. coli, we suggest that you use our sister site coliBase and for general information then see the E. coli index. As of today, Saturday, December 21, 2024, there are 304 curated references in the database relating to the 4506 genes in this bacterium. This is version 2.0 of Echobase which was released on the 4th May 2006 & was last updated in January 2015. |
