Anyone know of a decent public database that designates oxygen metabolism (aerobe vs. anaerobe vs. facultative. etc.)?

Enhanced Yellow Fluorescent Protein (Aequorea victoria) DNA sequence?

I am on the lookout for the Enhanced Yellow Fluorescent Protein (Aequorea victoria) DNA sequence. Does anyone know where I can find it? Thank you in advance

Is it possible for two human neuronal cell lines to have different gene sequence for the same protein?

I am looking at the ATP1A2 (Sodium/Potassium ATPase alpha subunit 2) in two human neuronal cell lines. Expression levels of this protein seems to be almost equal when detected by one antibody....

Where to find data on trees in tropical agroforestry?

Hi, I'm looking for data (mainly related to management: growth rate, canopy size, soil and climate preferences, etc.) about tropical trees used in tropical agroforestry. Have you ever heard about...

Runs of nucleotides in Sanger sequencing?

I performed site directed mutagenesis, transformation, and then I sent out plasmids for Sanger sequencing and found out that there is extension of DNA just before the stop codon. I am not sure...

The Shannon's index is inversely proportional to Simpson's index (1-D)?

I'm having a problem with my bloxplot with Shannon's and Simpson's indexs. The value of Shannon for my Community 1 indicating higher diversity (in relation of the Community 2), but have lower...

How do you mesh a thin solid in Fluent?

Hello, I have used the shell function on SpaceClaim to create thin solids for the model I am studying. These are contained within an enclosure for my study. I chose this approach as it avoids the...

Errors in DNA sequences?

I am trying to better understand the scope of DNA replication and sequencing errors, e.g. 1. I have seen similar error rates of 10e4 to 10e5 for cell & instrumental DNA replication,...

I can detect my protein but the encoding DNA sequence has stop codons within. Should I ignore the stop codons?

I constructed a synthetic DNA library (scFv, VH-VL orientation) with a 3' reporter and 8x histag. I cloned and expressed this gene following which I performed an ELISA. The ELISA results suggested...

Hi Stephen,

you could use BacDive for data mining (http://bacdive.dsmz.de/). For instance, if you looking for all strains (available from DSMZ) cultured under anaerobic conditions go to advanced search (http://bacdive.dsmz.de/?site=advsearch) and search for 'anaerobic' in the culture medium field. Alternatively, you can search for a 16S rRNA gene accession number and get some relevant data provided the strain is available from the DSMZ.
