Entrez Gene
is NCBI's gene-centered collection of information from databases maintained by it
and other sources. Entrez Gene records are comprehensively annotated and connected
to provide you with easy access to numerous types of related information, including
literature, taxonomy, conserved domains, GEO Profiles, chemical compound and
substance data, gene structure, gene sequence and more. So question is how to
use Entrez Gene database easily and utilize its resources for your molecular
biology and computational biology
courses and research. In the following bioinformaticsvideo tutorials, you will learn to use Entrez Gene database in the simplest
way. Please remember that this video was originally made by NIH, and I have
just uploaded it to YOUTUBE for better exposure and benefits of others.
Accessing
the Entrez Gene through the internet or by flat files via NCBI's ftp site can have
some limitation like time- consuming and limiting in regards to the number of genes
and what questions you can ask about the data. To answer this question, a team
at Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research has developed a MySQL based
database and data loading PERL script. You may love to use their services if
you seriously involve in some mega project.
