📄️ Why maintaining a gene list is important?
By maintaining a gene list, researchers can quickly access and organize important genetic information, which can aid in the drug discovery process. The gene list can be used to prioritize potential drug targets, identify new pathways or targets, and help researchers keep track of relevant literature and studies related to the genes of interest. Additionally, the gene list can be used to share information across teams or departments, which can facilitate collaboration and accelerate the research process.
📄️ View genes and interact with structures
Genes must be imported to DAIKON before using them. Genes can be sourced directly from websites such as Mycobrowser or by uploading a CSV/JSON file. The available methods for importing genes are described in detail in the Admin Guide.
📄️ Public Data and Structures
The Gene Detail view provides a wealth of information about individual genes, including public data that is available for each gene. Public data is sourced from UniProt, MycoBrowser, and PDB. UniProt and PDB data are retrieved in real time, while MycoBrowser data was obtained a a year ago. This information can be essential for drug discovery researchers to gain a better understanding of potential drug targets. The Gene Detail view displays various pieces of data related to a particular gene, including a Protein Summary, Orthologs, Coordinates,GO Annotations, Genomic Sequence, and Protein Sequence.
