Several public databases were surveyed for existing evidence of function mechanisms pertinent to HLA/MHC gene expression and immune surveillance.
Databases were surveyed for annotated DUX genes and searched for DUXA, DUXB, Duxbl and DUXC related sequences by whole-genome ENSEMBL tBLASTn (protein against nucleic acid) using default parameters with a near-exact matches search.
First, the complete proteome sequences from 63 archaea, 270 bacteria, and 128 eukaryotes in public databases were surveyed for a comprehensive comparison and analysis of their organization, similarity, uniqueness, and variability at the proteomic level to help understand long-term changes in amino acid compositions, selective constraints, and pressures across the proteomes.
Simple sequence repeats (SSRs) from a public database were surveyed to identify potential EST-SSR markers for Taxus cuspidata.
Additionally, the SILVA database (Quast et al. 2013) was surveyed for SSU rRNA sequences that were at least 60% identical to the predicted 16 S rRNA sequence from Fhon2.
Moreover, harmonised data was collected as part of the background survey for the OECD's Survey of Adult Skills: including the wave 2 countries which were surveyed in 2014/2015, the OECD database now includes data for 32 countries.
A web database was established for data entry from all survey modes.
The large FIB database was augmented with results from a survey designed to assess management policies for 316 beaches throughout the state of Florida.
A publicly available database was generated for Phytophthora microsatellites, including primers and SSR survey results [ 30].
A large database was created for farms sampled in two cross-sectional surveys carried out in Scotland (1998 - 2004).
To obtain the fuzzy relations for producing the susceptibility map, a landslide inventory database is compiled by both field surveys and airphoto studies.
