Promote and publish gel-based proteomics data through the ExPASy server
The WORLD-2DPAGE Constellation is composed of:
the WORLD-2DPAGE List:
An index to known federated 2-D PAGE database, services and related servers. Databases are grouped by species and classified in three categories according to their implementation of the rules defining a federated 2-DE database. It currently lists up to 60 databases totalizing nearly 400 gel images (Last updated: 26-Oct-2007).
the World-2DPAGE Portal:
A dynamic portal to query simultaneously world-wide gel-based proteomics databases. This portal can be seen as a virtual unique database with up to 91 reference maps for 10 species totalizing nearly 10300 identified spots (Last updated: 19-Dec-2007).
the World-2DPAGE Repository:
A public standards-compliant repository for gel-based proteomics data linked to
protein identification published in the literature. It currently consists of 2 articles with 4 reference maps for 2 species and 1200 identified spots (Last updated: 19-Dec-2007).
