Abstract

FANTOM DB, the database of Functional Annotation of RIKEN Mouse cDNA Clones, is designed to store sequence information of RIKEN full-length enriched mouse cDNA clones, graphical views of sequence analysis results, curated functional annotation information and additional descriptions, including Gene Ontology terms. RIKEN's Mouse Gene Encyclopedia Project aims to collect full-length enriched cDNA clones from various mouse tissues, determine the full-length nucleotide sequences, infer their chromosomal locations by computer and characterize gene expression patterns. FANTOM DB has been developed to facilitate this work and to facilitate functional genomic studies such as positional candidate cloning, cDNA microarrays and protein interaction analyses. FANTOM DB contains 21 076 full-length cDNA sequences with rich functional annotations and is publicly available. FANTOM DB thus provides curated functional annotation to RIKEN full-length enriched mouse clones, and has links to other public resources. FANTOM DB can be accessed at http://fantom.gsc.riken.go.jp/db/.

A search result page containing three frames is shown. The top frame is the summary field, with links to DNA and amino acid sequences. The middle frame is the annotation field, where functional annotation of a cDNA is described. The lower frame is the reference field, which shows sequence analysis results and source information. The right windows show alignments with SPTR-nrdb (upper) and Pfam (lower). The alignment windows appear when the ‘align’ buttons in the reference frame are selected. Links in the reference and annotation frames take users to MGD, InterPro, LocusLink, GenPept, EGAD_HT, TIGR-MGI (TIGR-Mouse Gene Index), DDBJ, GenBank, EMBL, NCBI-nr, PIR (Protein Information Resource), UniGene and UTRdb (Untranslated Region database, http://bighost.area.ba.cnr.it/BIG/UTRHome/). The reference field also has links to Mapping (http://www.gsc.riken.go.jp/e/FANTOM/map/) and Superfamily (http://stash.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/SUPERFAMILY/).
