About PEC

PEC is another db that gives general information about the genes in MG1655. The main focus of PEC is to assist in discovering the functions of gene with unknown function. Another main focus of PEC is to represent the advances towards finding the minimal genome.

for gene names

Figure 1. Results of a search for "lac" using the Genes option

PEC includes a quick search box at the top of every page. Type in the gene name and choose whether to search all fields, genes/RNA, or deletions. PEC searches are automatically wildcard queries; searching for "lac" finds anything with the substring "lac", such as "galactose, "lactamase", or "acetolactate". Thus, when searching for genes, it is best to select genes/RNA from the pulldown menu. Figure 1 shows the results of a search for "lac". Note that PEC finds lac in the gene symbol or in the alternative name. This means that you can also search using b numbers. PEC does not (as of Aug 2008) contain ECK or JW numbers.

Clicking on Genes from the navigation menu provides a more advanced gene search, with options to search by

  • gene name
  • genomic position
  • GO terms
  • essential/nonessential/unknown

for gene families

PEC provides a search for genes/products based on motif types.

for deletions

PEC provides a search for information about deletions, including large collections of engineered deletions from a minimal genome project[1][2]
