Doodle lambda repressor bound to DNA

Database of oligomerization domains from lambda experiments


About

Doodle is a database that was developed to store and distribute information about the protein oligomerization domains that are encoded by various genomes. The protein oligomerization domains described here were found using the lambda repressor fusion system. Doodle uses a schema that is based on EnsEMBL, while also utilizing bioperl modules to both store and retrieve data. The frontend was developed entirely in perl, while the backend utilizes MySQL. GMOD was used to develop the genomic view. This project is being funded by the NIH (grant GM063652-01).

The lambda repressor system

Repressor fusions have been used since their original description in the early 1990's to characterize and map protein-protein interactions from various organisms. Repressor fusion literature from the Hu lab in PubMed.
