For D. melanogaster, a consensus could be obtained for only 117 of the 126 reference sequences in the BDGP databank, referred to as a "knowledge-based" consensus: 68 of these sequences corresponded exactly to their reference element, the others being truncated.
We therefore propose three indices for measuring the quality of de novo databanks, with respect to reference databanks.
Beginning in 1986, he oversaw the development of WordNet, an electronic reference databank intended to help computers understand human language.
The results of the present study can support provenience study issues, in developing a compositional databank and establishing reference groups of pottery from Neolithic sites.
In this case, 800 blood samples were to be part of a new, national mitochondrial DNA database intended as a reference databank for the forensic community and for research into mitochondrial DNA variation DNA we inherit from our mother.
Food and fluid item selections were made from a reference databank listing the nutritional composition of more than 1300 generic foods.
Food item selections were made using a database of component pictures based on the French Data Centre on Food Quality (Centre d'Information sur la Qualité des Aliments; CIQUAL) table, a reference databank of the nutritional composition of more than 1300 generic foods.
So, rather than using the reference databanks directly, we first constructed, for each genome, a "knowledge-based" databank comprising one consensus sequence per reference TE sequence, based on its genomic copies (see Methods).
We annotated both genomes with the TEannot pipeline [24] using the reference databanks cited above.
Similarly, we were able to identify putative new non autonomous TEs in the D. melanogaster and A. thaliana genomes that had all the essential features of TEs but were nonetheless absent from the reference databanks.
