"Helix I / O" to search and display what living things as soon as you enter the DNA base sequence

There are huge numbers of living things and microorganisms on Earth. It is obtained from microorganism group in the sea, bacteria group contained in soil, bacteria present inside and outside the human body, etc.MetagenomeJust by uploading the analysis data to the site, it will be easy to analyze and categorize the organisms contained within it "Helix I / O"is.

Helix I / O - Instant Metagenomic Search

In this site, in the search windowSequence(Base sequence), or save base sequences such as DNA on a text basisFASTQFormat?FASTAUploading the format file, the base sequence sequence database "RefSeq(Lefsec) "and you can display the result. RefSec is an AmericanNational Bioengineering Information Center(NCBI) has been constructed and provided as a database for molecular biology and bioinformatics research.


Well then, even if we say that we have sequence data on hand ......, in general people who have such data should be limited. For such a person, the site provided sample sequence.


The result screen here is displayed when you click on the top sample. Matching results and biological classification are displayed.


It is understood that it was "Escherichia coli (Escherichia coli)" that was judged. Below that is displayed the name of the hit organism, ID attached on RefSec, match rate and so on.


At the bottom, charts on taxonomy are displayed.


Although not everything, organisms are classified in principle according to academic system and are categorized in the order of organism → domain → field → gate → rope → eye → family → genus → species.

When classifying E. coli according to this system, it became "Escherichia coli" belonging to the genus Escherichia belonging to the genus Escherichia of intracoastal bacteria family Epsteobacterium germma proteobacterium family Enterobacter germanium bacteria (without field) of cellular organism.


In addition to this sample, it is also possible to refer to data from other studies.


Many microorganisms existing inside and outside the human body "Human micro-biomeHere is the data that analyzed.


Because of the metagenomic analysis data, you can see that many bacterial names etc. are listed in the list.


This classification chart was also diversified in this way.


At this stage, I think that it seems to be a site that has not much contact other than those engaged in genome research, but I think that future genome (DNA) analysis and "DNA diagnosis(Genetic diagnosis) "and others that will be utilized in research that leads to.
