Data Type

Abstract

Data giving characteristics of each ORF (potential gene) in the E. coli genome. Sequence, homology (similarity to other genes) and structural information, and function (if known) are provided.

Data Characteristics

The data was collected from several sources, including GenProtEC and SWISSPROT. Structure prediction was made by PROF. Homology search was provided by PSI-BLAST.

The data is in Datalog format. Missing values are not explicit, but some genes have more relationships than others.

Dependencies

E. coli genes (ORFs) are related to each other by the predicate ecoli_to_ecoli(EcoliNumber,E-value,Psi-blast_iteration). They are related to other (SWISSPROT) proteins by the predicate e_val(AccNo,E-value). All the data for a single gene (ORF) is enclosed between delimiters of the form:

   begin(model(EcoliNumber)).
   end(model(EcoliNumber)). 

Other Relevant Information

Data Format

ecoli_functions.pl

Lists classes and ORF functions. Lines are of the following form:

   class(5,1,1,'Colicin-related functions').
   class(5,1,'Laterally acquirred elements').
   class(5,'Extrachromosomal'). 

Arguments are up to 3 numbers (describing class at up to 3 different levels), followed by a string class description. For example:

   function(ecoli210,7,0,0,'b0217','putative aminopeptidase').

Arguments are ORF number, exactly 3 class numbers, gene name (or blattner number if no gene name), ORF description.

   end(model(ecoliX)).
