| Database cross-mapping |
Accession numbers (or other identifiers) for entities/records found in other databases are captured and mapped to records in this database. |
| Gene expression |
The analysis of levels and patterns of synthesis of gene products (proteins and functional RNA), including interpretation in functional terms of gene expression data. |
| Gene functional annotation |
Ontologies (e.g., Gene Ontology Biological Process) or other controlled vocabularies are used to annotate functions of genes. |
| Gene regulation |
The analysis of gene expression regulation. |
| Gene report |
A summary report for a particular locus or gene that might include the gene name, description, and function of a gene, such as its encoded protein, or functional classification of the gene sequence according to the encoded protein(s). |
| Genetic map |
A map showing the relative positions of genetic markers in a nucleic acid sequence, based on estimating non-physical distance such as recombination frequencies. |
| Genetic variation |
Stable mutations in a nucleotide sequence, including alleles, naturally occurring mutations such as single base nucleotide substitutions, deletions and insertions, RFLPs, and other polymorphisms. |
| Genome analysis |
Sequence feature, structure, variation, function, and evolution at a genomic scale. |
| Genome annotation |
Use of ontologies or controlled vocabularies to annotate genome sequence. |
| Genomics |
Whole genomes of one or more organisms, or genomes in general, such as meta-information on genomes, genome projects, gene names, etc. |
| Genotype data |
A human-readable collection of information about the set of genes (or allelic forms) present in an individual, organism, or cell and associated with a specific physical characteristic or a report concerning an organism's traits and phenotypes. |
| Geographic location |
A report about localization of the isolation of biological material, e.g., country or coordinates. |
| Homology-based gene prediction |
Use of homology analysis to predict a gene or gene component(s). |
| Image |
Data (typically biological or biomedical) that has been rendered into an image, typically for display on screen. |
| Image annotation |
Use of ontologies or controlled vocabularies to annotate image data. |
| Metabolic pathway prediction |
Predictions with influence on a metabolic pathway. |
| Metabolomics |
The systematic identification and quantitation of all the metabolic products of a cell, tissue, organ, or organism under varying conditions as well as metabolite patterns in biological samples and or in correlation with xenobiotic challenge and disease states. |
| Metadata for other analysis |
Structured data elements used to describe ancillary data. |
| Nucleic acid sites, features, and motifs |
The biology, archival, detection, prediction, and analysis of positional features, such as functional and other key sites, in nucleic acid sequences and the conserved patterns (motifs, profiles, etc.) that may be used to describe them. |
| Ontology and terminology |
The conceptualization, categorization, and nomenclature (naming) of entities or phenomena within biology or bioinformatics. This includes formal ontologies, controlled vocabularies, structured glossary, symbols and terminology, or other related resources. |
| Pathway annotations |
An informative report about a specific biological pathway or network, typically including a map (diagram) of the pathway. |
| Phenomics |
Phenomes, or the study of the change in phenotype (the physical and biochemical traits of organisms) in response to genetic and environmental factors. |
| Phenotype |
The outward appearance of the individual based on inherent genotype or interactions between genes and between the genotype and the environment. |
| Phylogenetic Data |
Data concerning phylogeny, typically of molecular sequences, including reports of information concerning or derived from a phylogenetic tree or from comparing two or more phylogenetic trees. |
| Protein interaction data |
Data concerning the interactions (predicted or known) within or between a protein, structural domain, or part of a protein. This includes intra- and inter-residue contacts and distances, as well as interactions with other proteins and non-protein entities such as nucleic acid, metal atoms, water, ions, etc. |
| Protein structure |
3D coordinate and associated data for a protein tertiary (3D) structure, or part of a structure, possibly in complex with other molecules. |
| Proteomics |
Data from any method (especially high-throughput) that separates, characterizes, and identifies expressed proteins. Such methods include mass spectrometry, two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, protein microarrays, in-silico methods that perform proteolytic or mass calculations on a protein sequence, and other analyses of protein production data, for example, in different cells or tissues. Includes metaproteomics: proteomics analysis of an environmental sample. |
| Protocol (i.e., experiment metadata in definition) |
A human-readable collection of information about how a scientific experiment or analysis was carried out that results in a specific set of data or results used for further analysis or to test a specific hypothesis. |
| QTL map |
A genetic map that shows the approximate location of quantitative trait loci (QTL) between two or more markers. |
| Molecular sequence annotation |
Descriptive information about the function or structure of its nucleic acid, molecular, and or protein sequence. |
| Sequence feature/Sequence annotation |
Ontologies (e.g., Gene Ontology Biological Process) or other controlled vocabularies used to annotate molecular sequence features. |
| Whole genome association study |
Genome-wide association study experiments. |
