Selected AbstractsProteomics FASTA Archive and Reference ResourcePROTEINS: STRUCTURE, FUNCTION AND BIOINFORMATICS, Issue 9 2008Jayson A. Falkner Abstract A FASTA file archive and reference resource has been added to ProteomeCommons.org. Motivation for this new functionality derives from two primary sources. The first is the recent FASTA standardization work done by the Human Proteome Organization's Proteomics Standards Initiative (HUPO-PSI). Second is the general lack of a uniform mechanism to properly cite FASTA files used in a study, and to publicly access such FASTA files post-publication. An extension to the Tranche data sharing network has been developed that includes web-pages, documentation, and tools for facilitating the use of FASTA files. These include conversion to the new HUPO-PSI format, and provisions for both citing and publicly archiving FASTA files. This new resource is available immediately, free of charge, and can be accessed at http://www.proteomecommons.org/data/fasta/. Source-code for related tools is also freely available under the BSD license.

Black Summary Bioactive compounds, such as those derived from plant foods, are of growing interest to the scientific community and food industry because of their putative health-promoting properties. Increasing evidence reports beneficial effects of bioactive compounds, particularly against cancers, cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. EuroFIR-BASIS (BioActive Substances in Food Information System) is a unique online database that collates international research on the composition and biological effects of plant-based bioactive compounds into a single, comprehensive reference resource. EuroFIR-BASIS covers multiple compound classes and 330 major European food plants with data sourced from quality-assessed, peer-reviewed literature. The database is internet-deployed to ensure widespread accessibility and facilitates searches against a number of different variables. EuroFIR-BASIS is intended for use by a wide audience, including scientists, researchers, epidemiologists, food regulatory authorities and product developers in the food industry. The database has been designed to accommodate continual expansion as research develops to ensure that it remains a current and useable resource.
