CGDB: Circadian Gene DataBase

CGDB: Circadian Gene Database

General Information

  1. CGDB: Circadian Gene DataBase
  2. This is a circadian gene database.
    1. The database includes circadian gene DNA and protein sequences, model organisms specific to each circadian gene, clear descriptions of the circadian gene functions, and circadian gene tags specific to this database and other databases (Info found here: http://cgdb.biocuckoo.org/view.php?id=021036).
    2. Circadian Gene DataBase is a secondary source of data.
  3. The Cuckoo Workgroup Maintains the database.
  4. This organization is funded by:

Quality of Science

  1. Content Domain:
  2. The species covered in the database include plants, animals, and fungi ( Info found here:http://cgdb.biocuckoo.org/browse.php).
  3. Is the database content timely?

General Utility

  1. Are there links to other databases?
  2. Is it convenient to browse the data?
  3. Is it convenient to download the data?
  4. ”User Friendliness” of the website:
      • Although the website is not especially visually pleasing, it is rather straight forward to navigate.(Info found here:http://cgdb.biocuckoo.org/faq.php)
      • The website contains a user guide which is easy to find and very straight forward.(Info found here:http://cgdb.biocuckoo.org/faq.php)
      • The search options are fairly sensible. It is possible to run a search query with broad keywords of species or genes in order to find what you are looking for, however a knowledge of what you are looking for is definitely required.(Info found here:http://cgdb.biocuckoo.org/advance.php)
      • When running a sample query of the keyword “human,” all of the genes with the homo sapiens tag show up, with their unique identifiers that allows the user to browse through the sequences of the circadian genes related to homo sapiens. These results make sense.(Info found here:http://cgdb.biocuckoo.org/result.php?type=simple&page=1)
  5. There is not a license agreement for this website, however there is an article that users must cite if they are publish the results found on the website. (Info found here:http://cgdb.biocuckoo.org/index.php)
    • The citation should read: CGDB: a database of circadian genes in eukaryotes Shujing Li, Ke Shui, Ying Zhang, Yongqiang Lv, Wankun Deng, Shahid Ullah, Luoying Zhang and Yu Xue. Nucleic Acids Res. 2016; 10.1093/nar/gkw1028.

Summary Judgement

  1. We would direct a colleague unfamiliar with the field to use this database. It contains interesting information that is easily accessible.
  2. This is a professional database.

Electronic Journal

In completing this assignment, Simon and Hayden searched both the Nucleic Acid Research journal and the database itself for the answers to the specified questions.

  • For the "General Information" section, two of the four answers came from the database itself. With a little searching, the information was readily available. The other two answers came from the article written about the database found in the Nucleic Acid Research journal.
  • For the "Quality of Science" section, the first two answers were found quite quickly on the browse page of the website. The third question took a bit more searching on the site but we were able to find all the necessary information.
  • For the "General Utility" section, the links were easy to find in the sources, which came as no surprise because the database was fairly easy to navigate. The convenience of downloading the data left a bit to be desired. This is because they had a great list of sequences which included links in the download page, but when clicked on any of the links... rather than downloading a file to your computer, it seemed to open a new browser page with a TXT file on it, containing the sequence. With all these things considered, we agreed that this database was overall pretty user friendly.


Acknowledgements

  1. Simon and Hayden worked together in person and over text multiple times to complete this assignment.
  2. Simon and Hayden utilized the CGDB: Circadian Gene DataBase to complete the requirements for this assignment.
  3. Simon and Hayden also used the Week 5 assignment page to make sure the assignment requirements were fulfilled.
  4. Although Simon and Hayden both utilized the sources above, the assignment was completed by Simon and Hayden entirely and not copied from another source.Hhinsch (talk) 15:02, 2 October 2017 (PDT)

Resume

Personal Interests/Hobbies

  • I enjoy anything that has to do with the ocean. I try to jump in the ocean(or some body of water if I'm not near the ocean) at least once a day. It helps me to relax and not take things so seriously.
  • I also enjoy learning new things, I'm currently teaching myself how to play the Soprano Saxophone.
  • It's difficult to list my hobbies; there are lots of them. I'd have to say that most of my life is filled with hobbies. Whether or not I classify them as hobbies on any given day usually has to do with the particular mood I'm in. I work out as a hobby, but I don't necessarily always want to.
  • I also think Will Ferrell is hilarious.
Will Ferrell


What is my favorite aspect of biology and why?

  • I love obtaining a deeper understanding of the subtleties of life. Biology helps me slow down and realize how much is really going on around me at all times!

What is my favorite aspect of computer science and why?

  • Computer Science studies a whole other world of existence that I interact with everyday while rarely ever realizing its existence or acknowledging the amount of knowledge that goes into making my life easier.
