Spliceosome Database

1. I accessed the Spliceosome Database Spliceosome Database
2. The purpose of this database is to unify and simplify the many (over 200) proteins that spliceosomes are assembled from. The large variety of names and identifiers present in the literature was the inspiration for this database.
3. The database contains the names, orthologs, and gene identifiers of spliceosome proteins, links to gene and protein records for

the components of spliceosomes found in other databases, and "tools to compare the association of spliceosome proteins with complexes that form at specific stages of spliceosome assembly based on a compendium of mass spectrometry experiments that identified proteins in purified splicing complexes" (Cvitkovic & Jurica, 2013).

1. The species covered by the database are Homo sapiens (humans), Schizosaccharomyces cerevisiae (yeast), Schizosaccharomyces pombe (yeast), Drosophila melanogaster (fruit fly),
