1. Primary databases

Introduction

Databases gathering information about primary structures (sequences) of nucleic acids and proteins are called primary databases.
  • nucleotide sequences – databases GenBank / EMBL / DDBJ
  • aminoacid sequences – database UniProt (SwissProt, TrEMBL)

Task no. 1

Try to find entry for Salmonella typhimurium LT2 strain SGSC1412 plasmid pSLT within database of primary sequences of nucleic acids (part of integrated database systemSRS).
Then try to answer following questions:
  1. What is the accession number of this entry?
  2. Is plasmid pSLT linear or circular?
  3. What is the length of plasmid (number of bp)?
  4. What is the number of genes encoded in plasmid pSLT?
