Current status and applications of proteomic databases
The development and application of proteomic technology make the need for proteome data sharing increasingly urgent.Supported by the concept of data sharing,proteomic databases continue to emerge.The databases effectively maintain the consistency and integrity of the data information,reduce data redundancy,and facilitate effective retrieval and access by users.This paper first introduces the status of proteomic databases,focuses on the International Proteomic Data Consortium and its members,introduces the Chinese proteomic database iProX in detail,then briefly introduces the application of proteomic database,and finally looks forward to the challenges and opportunities in this field.
