About MPIC Features
- MW
- Theoretical molecular weight (Daltons) calculated by ExPASY.
- AA
- Amino acid count (sequence length) of protein peptide.
- pI
- Theoretical isoelectric point (pI) calculated by ExPASY.
- E-values
- E-value significance denotes nucleotide alignment between A. thaliana/S. cerevisiae models and other species via TBLASTN. Additional putative orthologues via HMMER and NCBI Protein are noted as such.
- Orthology – FASTA files
- FASTA files are viewable for each component and contain all species included in MPIC, grouped by species. Species name abbreviations are shown in the left-hand column above.
- Alignments
- Data available visually and in systematic data formats.
- Trees
- Click on locus identifiers to view protein details. Models outlined in red.
- MatGAT+
- Interactive MatGAT (point / click to highlight corresponding genes). Species icons shown.
- Domains
- Consensus among multiple species collated. Hand-drawn conserved domains are shown.
- Expression
- Heatmaps of expression across developmental stages of A. thaliana and O. sativa, plus global expression spreadsheets.
- Targeting
- Consensus among multiple species and predictors has been collated.
- GelMap
- GelMaps open directly but you’ll need to manually search for the MPIC once you get to the GelMap site.
