The UAB Proteomics Database.
CONCLUSIONS
The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) Proteomics Database (UPD) (http://www.uab.edu/proteinmenu) was created to provide a repository for the storage and linkage of two-dimensional (2D) gel images and the associated information obtained through mass spectrometry analysis of the proteins excised from the 2D gels in a manner similar to the SWISS-2DPAGE database and the Stanford Microarray Database. This was accomplished through the development of a web interface, a relational database, image maps and hyperlinks stored in the database. In addition to the internally generated data, UPD provides links to the National Center for Biotechnology Information via accession number hyperlinks. UPD currently contains information on 44 individual proteins derived from four experiments conducted by four UAB faculty members. Images of the gels from which each of these proteins was isolated are accessed by hyperlinks embedded in the database.
