Useful Web Resources

Abstract

An increasing number of web resources are available for aiding in proteomics research. Databases contain repositories of proteins and associated information. A recent article by Chen et al. (Genomics Proteomics Bioinformatics 13(1):36-39, 2015) evaluates a number of MS-based proteomics repositories containing MS and expression data, including repositories devoted to cataloguing high confidence post-translational modifications. Many sites have tools developed by research labs that are shared with the community and online tutorials and videos for learning how to use the tools. This chapter contains a selection of web sites useful for proteomics analyses but is by no means comprehensive. Using a search engine such as Google is the easiest way to find the sites using the name given below.
