EcoliWiki – everything related to E. coli K-12, its phages, plasmids, and mobile genetic elements.

Escherichia coli has a wiki !

EcoliWiki

EcoliWiki is for anyone who studies E. coli or who wants to know what’s known about E. coli, which is one of the best studied model organisms.

About EcoliHub

Sixty years of research have made Escherichia coli K-12 the most deeply understood organism at the molecular level. Much of what we know about cellular processes can be traced to fundamental discoveries in E. coli. In spite of its importance as a model organism, information about E. coli is distributed among many online resources. EcoliHub is being developed to make information now housed in multiple information resources, databases, and websites readily available to our user community.

EcoliHub Databases

EcoliHub Databases are largely or wholly supported by the EcoliHub award, including:

EcoliLiterature is being developed as a comprehensive database of all articles, book chapters, and books with basic information on E. coli, its phages, and plasmids (EcoliHub Core Project).

EcoliPredict is a comprehensive database of computationally predicted and experimentally determined structures of proteins encoded by E. coli K-12 (Project Leader: Daisuke Kihara, Purdue).

EcoliWiki is being developed as a community annotation system for EcoliHub. The goal is to create community-based pages about E. coli K-12, its phages, plasmids, and mobile genetic elements for community annotation at Texas A&M University (Project Leader: James C. Hu, TAMU).

GenExpDB is a comprehensive database of publicly deposited E. coli gene expression data, which is hosted at the University of Oklahoma (Project Leader: Tyrrell Conway, OU ).

GenoBase is a E. coli database developed at the Nara Institute of Science and Technology (NAIST) in Japan that contains a wealth of information on comprehensive resources such as the Keio single-gene knockout collection, ASKA ORFeome clone set, and results from high-throughput and systematic experimentation. GenoBase is now being further developed at EcoliHub (Project Leader: Hirotada Mori, NAIST).

Participating Databases

Participating Databases actively collaborate with EcoliHub. While these database providers are independently supported, they may receive support from EcoliHub for specific joint projects.

EcoCyc is a professionally curated encyclopedic source of information on the genome, metabolic pathways, and regulatory network of E. coli K-12 at SRI international (Peter D. Karp, principal investigator (PI)).

EcoGene is a knowledgebase derived from extensive literature surveys and bioinformatics research that document the functions of DNA, protein and RNA in E. coli K-12 at the University of Miami (Kenneth E. Rudd, PI).

RegulonDB is the source of highly curated knowledge on regulation of transcription initiation, operon organization, and regulatory networks in E. coli at the University of Mexico, Cuernavaca (UNAM; Julio Collado-Vides, PI).
