What browsers does Better Bunny work with?
Better Bunny has been tested with the following web browsers:
Chrome 84.0
Firefox 79.0
Microsoft Edge 80.0
Internet Explorer 11.0 (not recommended)
Opera 70.0
Safari 11.1
|
What kind of identifier (ID) can I search on?
By default the Search page expects a list of Agilent probe IDs. To search using
UniGene, Ensembl Gene, Entrez Gene, or NCBI Protein IDs, use the dropdown at the top of the page to select the appropriate type.
To load a sample list of IDs, select the type from the dropdown, then click the SAMPLE IDS button.
|
What do I use to separate a list of identifiers?
Identifiers may be separated by spaces, comma, carriage-return, or any combination of these three.
This is true for both text and file input.
|
What Agilent Microarray probe identifiers does Better Bunny work with?
Better Bunny accepts probe identifiers for the Agilent Rabbit Gene Expression Microarray
Product Number: G2519F
Format: 4 X 44K
Design ID: 020908
GPL ID: GPL7083
|
Where does all this additional information come from?
All added gene description, gene name, GO terms, and orthologue data is periodically downloaded from Ensembl's BioMart.
Additional gene and protein identifiers, as well as updated descriptions and gene names, are downloaded from NCBI.
|
How often is it updated?
Updates to Better Bunny are made whenever Ensembl makes a new release (approximately quarterly), or Agilent updates their probe annotations.
|
What version of the Ensembl database do you use for annotations?
Better Bunny v3.0 uses Ensembl Genes 100, OryCun2.0 (accessed 23 Jul 2020).
Better Bunny v2.3 uses Ensembl Genes 82, OryCun2.0 (accessed 20 Oct 2015).
|
What version of the Agilent annotations for Rabbit Gene Expression Microarray (020908) do you use?
Better Bunny v3.0 uses the Agilent annotations dated 25 Sep 2019.
Better Bunny v2.3 uses the Agilent annotation dated 04 Dec 2014.
|
Where do your gene ontology (GO) terms come from?
All gene ontology terms are downloaded from Ensembl.
The Ensembl database infers most terms for genes from homologous UniProt mappings.
That is, most GO terms are inferred from species other than rabbit.
|
Can I get gene ontology (GO) terms just from rabbit?
For gene ontologies specific to rabbit (i.e., not derived from orthologues) see the Gene Ontology website.
To search/browse for rabbit try Gene Ontology AmiGO.
Select Browse then choose Oryctolagus cuniculus under species to filter for rabbit.
|
Where can I find more information on DAVID and functional annotation?
For a step-by-step procedure on using DAVID for gene functional analysis see:
Systematic and integrative analysis of large gene lists using DAVID Bioinformatics Resources. (2009) Nature Protocols 4(1):44-57
