It has been established with the intention of assembling in a central, publicly accessible site information about alternatively spliced genes, their products and expression patterns. Version 2.1 of ASDB consists of two divisions, ASDB(proteins) , which contains amino acid sequences, and ASDB(nucleotides) with genomic sequences.
SWISS-PROT uses two formats for description of alternative splicing Thus the protein sequences were selected from SWISS-PROT using full text search for both the words alternative splicing (usually in the CC lines) and varsplic (in the FT lines). In order to group proteins that could arise by alternative splicing of the same gene, we developed the clustering procedure. Two proteins were linked if they had a common fragment of at least 20 amino acids, and clusters were initially defined as maximum connected groups of linked proteins. It turned out that some clusters were chimeric, in the sense that they contained members of multi-gene families, but not alternatively spliced variants of one gene. Therefore the multiple alignments were subject to additional analysis aimed at detection of chimeric clusters.
Each cluster is represented by multiple alignment of its members constructed using CLUSTALW. The distribution of cluster size, representation of species and other relevant statistics of ASDB(proteins) can be accessed through the links below.
This processing covers the cases when alternatively spliced variants are described in separate SWISS-PROT entries. The other kinds of ASDB records, originating from the SWISS-PROT entries with the varsplic field in the feature table, usually describe the proteins that are not part of any cluster. In these cases, the information on the variable fragments of the several proteins which result from the alternative splicing of a single gene is contained in the entry itself. ASDB(proteins) entries are marked with different symbols to allow for easy differentiation among the three types: those proteins which are part of the ASDB clusters and the corresponding multialignments, those which have the information on different variants in the associated SWISS-PROT entries, and those for which the information on the variants is not available at the present time. ASDB contains internal links between entries and/or clusters, as well as external links to Medline, GenBank and SWISS-PROT entries.
The ASDB(nucleotides) division was generated by collecting all GenBank entries containing the words alternative splicing and further selection of those entries that contain complete gene sequences (all CDS fields are complete, i.e. they do not have continuation signs).

http://mips.gsf.de/genre/proj/ustilago/

The MIPS Ustilago maydis Genome Database aims to present information on the molecular structure and functional network of the entirely sequenced, filamentous fungus Ustilago maydis. The underlying sequence is the initial release of the high quality draft sequence of the Broad Institute. The goal of the MIPS database is to provide a comprehensive genome database in the Genome Research Environment in parallel with other fungal genomes to enable in depth fungal comparative analysis. The specific aims are to: 1. Generate and assemble Whole Genome Shotgun sequence reads yielding 10X coverage of the U. maydis genome 2. Integrate the genomic sequence assembly with physical maps generated by Bayer CropScience 3. Perform automated annotation of the sequence assembly 4. Align the strain 521 assembly with the FB1 assembly provided by Exelixis 5. Release the sequence assembly and results of our annotation and analysis to public Ustilago maydis is a basidiomycete fungal pathogen of maize and teosinte. The genome size is approximately 20 Mb. The fungus induces tumors on host plants and forms masses of diploid teliospores. These spores germinate and form haploid meiotic products that can be propagated in culture as yeast-like cells. Haploid strains of opposite mating type fuse and form a filamentous, dikaryotic cell type that invades plant tissue to reinitiate infection. Ustilago maydis is an important model system for studying pathogen-host interactions and has been studied for more than 100 years by plant pathologists. Molecular genetic research with U. maydis focuses on recombination, the role of mating in pathogenesis, and signaling pathways that influence virulence. Recently, the fungus has emerged as an excellent experimental model for the molecular genetic analysis of phytopathogenesis, particularly in the characterization of infection-specific morphogenesis in response to signals from host plants. Ustilago maydis also serves as an important model for other basidiomycete plant pathogens that are more difficult to work with in the laboratory, such as the rust and bunt fungi. Genomic sequence of U. maydis will also be valuable for comparative analysis of other fungal genomes, especially with respect to understanding the host range of fungal phytopathogens. The analysis of U. maydis would provide a framework for studying the hundreds of other Ustilago species that attack important crops, such as barley, wheat, sorghum, and sugarcane. Comparisons would also be possible with other basidiomycete fungi, such as the important human pathogen C. neoformans. Commercially, U. maydis is an excellent model for the discovery of antifungal drugs. In addition, maize tumors caused by U. maydis are prized in Hispanic cuisine and there is interest in improving commercial production. The complete putative gene set of the Broad Institute''s second release is loaded into the database and in addition all deviating putative genes from a putative gene set produced by MIPS with different gene prediction parameters are also loaded. The complete dataset will then be analysed, gene predictions will be manually corrected due to combined information derived from different gene prediction algorithms and, more important, protein and EST comparisons. Gene prediction will be restricted to ORFs larger than 50 codons; smaller ORFs will be included only if similarities to other proteins or EST matches confirm their existence or if a coding region was postulated by all prediction programs used. The resulting proteins will be annotated. They will be classified according to the MIPS classification catalogue receiving appropriate descriptions. All proteins with a known, characterized homolog will be automatically assigned to functional categories using the MIPS functional catalog. All extracted proteins are in addition automatically analysed and annotated by the PEDANT suite.

CE is a databases of alignments for all polypeptide chains. A representative set of proteins is available and kept current with the PDB, a method for calculating pairwise structure alignments. CE aligns two polypeptide chains using characteristics of their local geometry as defined by vectors between C alpha positions. Matches are termed aligned fragment pairs (AFPs). Heuristics are used in defining a set of optimal paths joining AFPs with gaps as needed. The path with the best RMSD is subject to dynamic programming to achieve an optimal alignment. For specific families of proteins additional characteristics are used to weight the alignment. Complete details are described in the paper (PDF format).
