Comparing 2-D Electrophoretic Gels Across Internet Databases

In ref. 1 , we described a computer-assisted visual method, Flicker, for comparing two two-dimensional (2-D) protein gel images across the Internet is described (see Note 5 ). This approach may be useful for comparing similar samples created in different laboratories to help putatively identify or suggest protein spot identification. 2-D gels and associated databases are increasingly appearing on the Internet (2 –13 ) in World-Wide Web (WWW or web) (14 ) servers and through federated databases (15 ). Table 1 lists some web URL addresses for a number of 2-D protein gel databases that contain 2-D gelimages with many identified proteins. This opens up the possibility of comparing one’s own experimental 2-D gel image data with gel images of similar biological material from remote Internet databases in other laboratories. This new data analysis method allows scientists to collaborate and compare gelimage data over the World Wide Web more easily.

Itemize

^a Individual gel images with identified proteins are available in these databases. The user should investigate them individually since URL paths for 2D gel image files will differ.
