Porphyromonas gingivalis

Porphyromonas gingivalis W83
Gene Image Map
Porphyromonas gingivalis is a gram-negative oral anerobe found in periodontal lesions and associated with adult periodontal disease. Strain W83 was sequenced by The Institute for Genomic Research (TIGR) and a pre-published version became available June 2001. On this site General properties of P. gingivalis are available as well as an overview map of the genome and information summary through the Gene Image Map. A dynamic visualization tool with both linear and circular representations is available named BugBrowser.

The core information in this database is the table of annotated records, one for each of the more than 2000 predicted open reading frames. Each gene record is identified by a gene id, PG0001-PG1949. Simple summaries of specific information are available below in the Predefined Database Searches and contain links to the complete gene record. Comparisons between the open reading frames predicted by TIGR and by the LANL database team are summarized in three tables below.

The power of a relational database is demonstrated in the ability to search its information. We provide five search tools, each with different characteristics. The Basic Search allows a simple query of many fields for a text term. The Intermediate Search allows the user to search specific tables, to search a range of molecular weights or isoelectric points and to search the protein or nucleotide sequences for simple patterns. The Protein Motif Search allows searching protein sequences for sophisticated amino acid patterns.
