title: The EF-Handome: combining comparative genomic study using FamDBtool, a new bioinformatics tool, and the network of expertise of the European Calcium Society.
abstract: By combining a bioinformatics tool (FamDBTool) and the expertise of a network of calcium binding proteins specialists (European Calcium Society), we aim to accelerate and to rationalize the curation of the public general biological database such as Swissprot and Entrez Gene with respect to specific protein families. In this paper, we show the feasibility of such rationale in order to set and to curate the human, mouse and rat sets of EF-Hand genes, the EF-Handome.
