Search comparisons PPTdb and several general purpose genomic databases

Items PPTdb Entrez Gene Uniprot EuPathDB
Search term nucleotide nucleotide AND transporter AND Acanthamoeba castellanii str. Neff. nucleotide transporter Acanthamoeba castellanii str. Neff. nucleotide
a Pre-search settings Click A. castellanii str. Neff
Set number of transmembrane domain: 1 Click AmoebaDB
One-click potential transporters: checked 1135 genes for keyword search
Number of searched items 12 GO terms 76 genes with 1 transmembrane domain
3 Prosite Patterns No number of transmembrane domain filter No number of transmembrane domain filter
5 Pfams c0 genes for annotation with “transporter” as keyword
Number of Genes after searching 105 b303 b290 c0/76

aThere are several search combinations of each database, it is reasonable that different search combinations may lead to different search results. This demo demonstrates one search strategy of each database

bNo transmembrane domain filter

cThere is no specific column for putative transporter genes of EuPathDB. Using “transporter” as keyword is the most possible search action used by most users
