Abstract

RPG (http://ribosome.miyazaki-med.ac.jp/) is a new database that provides detailed information about ribosomal protein (RP) genes. It contains data from humans and other organisms, including Drosophila melanogaster, Caenorhabditis elegans, Saccharo myces cerevisiae, Methanococcus jannaschii and Escherichia coli. Users can search the database by gene name and organism. Each record includes sequences (genomic, cDNA and amino acid sequences), intron/exon structures, genomic locations and information about orthologs. In addition, users can view and compare the gene structures of the above organisms and make multiple amino acid sequence alignments. RPG also provides information on small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) that are encoded in the introns of RP genes.

Examples of RPG data views. The top window (A) provides a search engine which users can use to search the database by gene name or organism and is linked to the human RP gene table (Homo sapiens) and to the orthologous gene table (Other organisms). The gene entry window (B) gives links to various sequences [genomic (C), cDNA and amino acid sequences], to the intron/exon sequence viewer (E), to GenBank entries, to orthologous gene entries (F), to Clustal W output (G) and to snoRNA gene entries (D).
