Gene

Name:   Gene name.
Synonyms:   Alternative names that identify the same gene.
Genome position (nucleotides) :  Start and end absolute positions of a gene in a replicon. Strand: Replicon DNA strand in which a gene is coded; it can be forward o reverse.
Nucleotide sequence : Complete nucleotide sequence of the gene.
GC content % : Percentage of guanine and cytosine in the sequence of a gene.
CRI score : Codon-Richness Index (CRI). Quantifies the degree to which individual genes use the most abundant codons in a reference genome.
Notes: Comments added by curators about a gene, acknowledging the original sources of information.
Evidence: Experimental or computational methods that support the definition of a gene.
Reference: Original literature source from where some information about a gene was obtained.
External database links :Links to other databases that refer to a gene.



Shine dalgarno
Sequence: Shine-Dalgarno sequence, shown in capital letters with 10 lowercase flanking nucleotides at both sides.
Notes:  Comments added by curators about a Shine dalgarno sequence, acknowledging the original sources of information.
Evidence:  Experimental or computational methods that support the definition of a Shine-Dalgarno sequence.
Reference:  Original literature source in which a Shine-Dalgarno sequence was identified.
External database links: Links to other databases that refer to the Shine-Dalgarno sequence of a gene.


Product

Product:   Molecule obtained when a gene is expressed, usually a protein or a RNA molecule.
Name:   Product name.
Synonyms:   Alternative names that identify the same product.
Type:   Molecular type of a product, such as regulator or RNA.
Get amino acid sequence : Amino acid sequence of a gene product(protein).
Regulator Family: Evolutionary family to which a regulatory protein belongs, based on sequence similarity.
Cellular location: Location in the cell in which a gene product is functional.
Molecular weight:  Sum of the weights of the atoms of which a gene product is made, usually given in kilodatons (kDa).
Isoelectric point: The pH at which the net charge of a gene product is, on average, zero. Calculated automatically using the EMBOSS parameters.
Motif(s):  Discrete regions of a gene product attached to a particular function.
Type:   Motif type, such as protein motif (for instance Helix-Turn-Helix motif) or RNA motif.
Position within product:   Position of a motif within a gene product.
Sequence:  Complete amino acid/RNA sequence of a motif.
Classification:  Functional classification of a motif based on sequence similarity.
Notes:  Comments added by curators about a gene product, acknowledging the original sources of information.
Evidence:  Experimental or computational methods that support some information about a product.
Reference(s):  Original literature source from where some information about a gene product was obtained.
External database links:   Links to other databases that refer to a gene product.



Operon

Operon: Set of one or more overlapping transcription units which share genes. In RegulonDB, one gene cannot belong to more than one operon.
Name: Operon name, which includes the names of the genes that constitute an operon.
Operon arrangement : Set of transcription units included in the same operon.
Transcription unit (TU) : Set of one or more genes transcribed from a single promoter. A TU may also include regulatory protein binding sites affecting this promoter and a terminator.
Promoters: Names of promoters included in the same operon.
Nebulon NetView : Tool that builds networks of funcional relationships between gene products based on their operon organization in any available genome.





Transcriptional regulation
Transcriptional regulation :  All the known transcriptional regulatory mechanisms that control the expression of a TU.
Activated by :  Names of regulatory proteins that activate or enhance the transcription of a TU.
Repressed by :  Names of regulatory proteins that repress the transcription of a TU.
Undetermined regulation : Names of regulatory proteins whose effects over the transcription of a TU have not been determined.




Growth conditions
Growth condition(s) : Experimental conditions in which a strain was grown affecting gene expression.
Literature based : Growth conditions extracted from literature sources were a few selected genes were studied.
Microarray based : Growth conditions extracted from literature sources reporting microarray experiments in which a whole collection of genes is analyzed.
Reference(s) : Original literature source where some growth condition was reported.
