===== ===== ===== ===== ===== ===== ===== ===== ===== ===== ===== ===== THIS DATABASE MAY BE COPIED AND REDISTRIBUTED WITHOUT PERMISSION ON THE CONDITION THAT ALL THE STATEMENTS IN THIS RELEASE NOTE ARE REPRODUCED IN EACH COPY. ===== ===== ===== ===== ===== ===== ===== ===== ===== ===== ===== ===== DDBJ Amino Acid Sequence Database (DAD) Release 39.0 April 20, 2007 including 4,054,564 entries, 1,241,520,752 residues This is release 39 of DDBJ Amino Acid Sequence Database (DAD). This database has been produced by extracting all translated sequences from the release 69 of the INSDC (International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration, DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank) entries (March 2007). 1. DAD files DAD entries are classified into 20 categories according to the classification of the original nucleotide sequences. Please refer to the release note of the DDBJ release for details (filename: ddbjrel.txt). Also,there are two types of DAD files for each division; files with suffix ".DAD" in the DAD standard format, and those with suffix ".DAD.fasta" in a FASTA-compatible format. [DDBJ release note] ftp://ftp.ddbj.nig.ac.jp/database/ddbj/ddbjrel.txt 2. Recent changes Nothing particular. 3. Announcement for the forthcoming changes Nothing particular. 4. Format of DAD entries The standard format of DAD is almost the same as that of the DDBJ nucleotide sequence database except for those described below. Accession numbers of the DAD entries are written in the lines labeled as "ACCESSION." An accession number of DAD is comprised of a DDBJ accession number and an integer that begins with 1. These two numbers are combined by a hyphen (-). For example, two amino acid sequences extracted from a DDBJ entry D12345 respectively have accession numbers of D12345-1 and D12345-2. The number is useful for identifying a DAD entry. An amino acid sequence begins from the next line of "BEGIN." Up to sixty amino acids are written in one line. Following the amino acid sequence, there is a double slash (//) which means the end of the entry. LOCUS line contains locus name, length of protein, molecular type (this is always "PRT"), division name, and date of release of DNA counterpart. DEFINITION line contains species name and protein name. The other parts of a DAD entry, including FEATURES, are almost the same as those of the corresponding DDBJ entry. 5. A sample of DAD entries Below is a typical DAD entry. This might be useful for understanding its format and contents. ----- ----- ----- ----- sample begin ----- ----- ----- ----- LOCUS BAA22986.1 220 aa PRT HUM 27-OCT-1997 DEFINITION Homo sapiens RVP1 protein.

Release history ------------------ Since release 38 ------------------ From the present release, we change the maximum file size to 1.5 GB, because the network capacity has been remarkably increased. Each file named as ddbj***##.DAD has at most 1.5 GB storage capacity. See also the sections, '7. Statistics of DAD'. ------------------ Since release 32 ------------------ Introduction of ENV division : Recently, the submissions of the sequences derived from environmental samples have rapidly increased. To accommodate such submissions, a new division, ENV, has been created. This division contains the sequences obtained via direct molecular isolation such as PCR, DGGE, or any anonymous method. In the past, the sequences derived from environmental samples belonged to taxonomic divisions, mainly BCT. At DDBJ, the retrofit to transfer relevant entries from taxonomic divisions to the ENV division starts in the present release, and ends by the next periodical release. Please note that during this transitional period, some entries to be eventually placed in the ENV division will be found in other divisions. ------------------ Since release 30 ------------------ "H-InvDB" has been added to db_xref(cross-reference) as a qualifier key. The following is an example. FEATURES Location/Qualifiers source 1..5589 /clone="hf00223s1" /clone_lib="pBluescriptII SK plus" /db_xref="H-InvDB:HIT000000001" ------------------ Since release 29 ------------------ The GSS division has been included since release 29. GSS stands for the Genome Survey Sequence, which is similar to EST, except that GSS is genomic DNA whereas EST is cDNA. ------------------ Since release 21 ------------------ 1) Some information on introns has been added. It is given as "intron_pos" in the Feature/Qualifiers. Examples: intron_pos 142:1 (2/12) means that the 2nd intron among 12 in total is located between the 1st and 2nd bases of the 142th codon (amino acid residue). intron_pos 228:0 (4/12) means that the 4th intron among 12 in total is located between the 227th and 228th codons (between the 3rd base of the 227th codon and the 1st base of the 228th codon). 2) the Locus line has been changed. The following is an example and its explanation: LOCUS BAA21794.1 263 aa PRT BCT 05-FEB-1999 Positions Contents --------- -------- 01-05 'LOCUS' 06-12 spaces 13-28 Locus name 29-29 space 30-40 Length of sequence, right-justified 41-41 space 42-43 'aa' 44-47 spaces 48-53 'PRT' 54-64 spaces 65-67 Division code 68-68 space 69-79 Date, in the form DD-MMM-YYYY (e.g., 15-MAR-1991) --------------------- 3) TPA data have been provided as a separate file (ddbjtpa.DAD). 7.
