Web resources for mycoplasma gene function analysis -- Links to analyses of the sequenced mycoplasma genomes and other resources which may be of value in inferring mycoplasma gene functions.                (updated 10/11/2001)


Cross-referencing of mycoplasma gene information

Primary analysis from labs that have sequenced mycoplasma genomes:

M. genitalium -- TIGR                      PubMed Abstract
M. pneumoniae -- Heidelberg       PubMed Abstract        Nucleic Acids Research
Ureaplasma urealyticum -- UAB     PubMed Abstract
Mycoplasma pulmonis -- Genoscope, Pasteur Inst.    PubMed Abstract    Nucleic Acids Research



Additional mycoplasma genome-wide analyses:

NCBI mycoplasma pages:
M. genitalium                 M. genitalium - Gene Lists
M. pneumoniae
Ureaplasma urealyticum
M. pulmonis

New analyses at Heidelberg by Bork:
M. genitalium
M. pneumoniae

 KEGG  -- Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes -- gene lists
M. genitalium
M. pneumoniae
U. urealyticum
M. pulmonis



Analyses of particular functional groups of genes:

Transport protein analysis - Ian T. Paulsen, UCSD  Go to this site, then select genome of interest (M. gen. or M. pn.).

Metabolic Pathway Maps and Ortholog Tables at KEGG      info for M. gen., M. pn., and U. ur.

Examples of  the above:

Glycolysis         M. genitalium     M. pneumoniae    U. urealyticum     Ortholog Table

Carbon fixation   M. genitalium      M.  pneumoniae    U. urealyticum    No Ortholog Table
