*EMBL stands for European Molecular Biology Lab. It is a database that holds a large amount of protein/gene databases.

*InterPro is a database for protein sequence, analysis, and classification. Owned by the European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI).

*On Uniprot, there are three different PDB databases. PDB stands for Protein Data Bank, and they contain 3D structures of proteins.

*Pfam groups proteins into families for easier comparison between proteins.

*RefSeq stands for Reference Sequence collection, which is a US owned database of protein, DNA, and gene sequences.

*Geneid is a database that further identifies and describes the EFGR and how it relates to genes. For instance, it gives the location of EFGR on a chromosome, and how EFGR relates to patients with ling cancer.

	#EFGR is a protein that is a receptor for the epidermal growth factor and is also a member of the kinase family. If bonded to a ligand, it leads to cell proliferation. Found on the surface of a cell. EFGR mutations have also been known to be associated with lung cancer.		#EFGR is a protein that is a receptor for the epidermal growth factor and is also a member of the kinase family.

		+	#*The purpose of this assignment was to understand all the different datatbases used in biology and how they interrelate to one another.
		+	#*I learned about the different types of databases and about the properties of EFGR.
		+	#*I am still confused as to why there are so many different databases, and why they cannot keep all the information on a single database. It seems easier to me to have all the information in one place.
