HOW TO SEARCH and QUERY ChameleaBase

ChameleaBase is the database of the first Chamelea gallina skeletal muscle transcriptome.
The database entries correspond to putative C. gallina trascripts, chracterised by bioinformatic analyses.
Individual transcripts are associated to different kinds of sequence and annotation by similarity information.

HOW TO SEARCH ChameleaBase

The database is searchable form the search page using keywords on all entry fields.
The result of such a search is a table listing accession numbers and descriptions of matching entries, linked to contig pages.

HOW TO BROWSE ChameleaBase for MASSIVE DATA RETRIEVAL

The database in browsable: by combining searches of specific keywords in given entry fields the user can retrieve information about all the matching entries, as table separated values (TSV) text files. The special keywors “HAS” can be used to retrieve all the entries with a non empty content of one or more specific fields.
Indeed, the the user can customise the retrieved information.

Simple query:

using a given contig accession number
retrieving contig description and sequence information

Chamelea_c25341	non-metastatic cells protein expressed in (nucleoside-diphosphate kinase)	GAATGCACCTGCTGTGTGATCAAACCACATGCTGTTCAAGCAGGTAATGCTGGTAAGATAATTAGTGCTATAATGGAAGCTGGCTTCGAGGTTTCTGCCATAGAAATG...

Advanced query:

Using “growth” as keywords on description field
using HAS on GO descriptions, to consider all the entries corresponding to contigs associated to GO terms
retrieving both sequence and annotation information
