iDog Database
Purpose
The purpose of this assignment is to become familiar with a specific database. Specifically, top-tier databases published in the Database Issue of Nucleic Acid Research were selected from. The chosen database, iDog, will be thoroughly observed and evaluated, and an oral presentation will be given on the information regarding this database.
Database Evaluation
General information about the database
iDog is a database best described as a research resource for domestic dogs and wild Canids. It contains gene, genome, SNP, phenotype, ontology, disease, and expression data from smaller sub-databases (created by the same group). Additionally, iDog features online tools for genomic data visualization and analysis. iDog is a secondary source, as it is a compilation of smaller databases and information gathered from larger databases. This database differs as it is a much more refined topic that pertains to only dogs. Thus, this information was curated to specifically fit the target of biological information of domestic dogs and wild canids. Although not specified, due the data obtained across many platforms to form the iDog database, it can be inferred that an electronic curation method was used to obtain the large amounts of data contained within this database. iDog is a public database maintained by the National Genomics Data Center (NGDC) based out of China.
