World-2DPAGE Constellation

Promote and publish gel-based Proteomics data through the Expasy server

---

The World-2DPAGE Constellation is composed of many 2D-PAGE resources and tools:

• SWISS-2DPAGE  -- The world famous reference database providing extensive annotated data for over 4000 identified spots, 1265 proteins,
  covering 36 reference maps of 7 different species. (Last update: November 2011).
• World-2DPAGE Repository  -- A public standards-compliant repository for gel-based Proteomics data linked to protein identification published in the literature.
  The repository is continuously extended, puting together a large collection of multi-species reference maps, with thousands of identified spots..
• 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 accessing a very large collection of Proteomics data provided by many renowned institutions (Last update: December 2011).
• World-2DPAGE List  -- A list of database and services grouped by species and classified in 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 update: September 2011).


• Make2D-DB package ver. 3.10.2  -- The open source tools package to build, acces and integrate federated 2D-PAGE databases, portals or data repositories on one's own web site.
• Melanie software  -- The Melanie trial version can be used free of charge to 1) view your own gel and blot images and check their quality, 2) carry out a complete image analysis on the tutorial images, including gel alignment, spot detection and statistical analysis, and 3) visualize results obtained with the licensed version of the software.
• MIAPEGelDB  -- Produce MIAPE-compliant documents describing your gel experiments.
