Overview of Biological Databases

Описание: The video is all about types of Databases in Bioinformatics.
This video explains what is Biological databases and their various types as Primary, Secondary, and Derived Databases. It also tells about what kind of data is stored in biological databases. It also explains the differentiation of primary and secondary databases as nucleotide and protein databases. It explains primary databases by taking examples of EMBL, DDBJ, and GenBank in nucleotide database and it also tells how these three work together and how the information is stored or retrieved from these databases. Few examples as PIR, Swiss-prot, and PRF in the Protein sequence database.
It explains Secondary database with few examples as PDB, EBI-MSD, and MMDB in the Protein structure database and Blocks and COG in Domain and Motif database.
The derived database is also differentiated in Structure database, Gene Expression database, Metabolic pathway database, and Specialised database.
