The BIC resource will be replaced by an AgNIC partnership Web site (www.agnic.org)
in January 2002. AgNIC partners in collaboration on this project will be
the National Agricultural Library (NAL), the University of Maryland
Libraries and others. See the following Web resources for more current
information on agricultural biotechnology.

Gallery of Sequence Logos
sequence logo: A graphic representation of a set of binding sites. A logo
displays the frequencies of bases at each position along with the degree
of sequence conservation, measured in bits of information. Subtle
frequencies are not lost in the final product as they would be in a
consensus sequence. The vertical scale is in bits, with a maximum of 2
bits possible at each position.

The title of talk for the above meeting was Secondary structure prediction
and fold recognition. The contents of these pages are thus heavily biased
towards these two subjects

EMBNet
This support includes providing regularly updated databases, software,
training and documentation. It also involves establishing a legitimate
target for questions and a recognised source of information about new
developments.

Chromo
shadow domain
The chromo domain was originally identified as a protein sequence motif
common to the Drosophila chromatin proteins, Polycomb (Pc) and
Heterochromatin protein 1 (HP1). Here we describe a second chromo
domain-like motif in HP1. Subsequent refined searches identified further
examples of this chromo domain variant which all occur in proteins that
also have an N-terminally located chromo domain. Due to its relatedness to
the chromo domain, and its occurrence in proteins that also have a
classical chromo domai n, we call the variant the "chromo shadow
domain". Chromo domain-containing proteins can therefore be divided
into two classes depending on the presence, for example in HP1, or
absence, for example in Pc, of the chromo shadow domain. We have also
found ex amples of proteins which have two classical chromo domains. The
S. pombe SWI6 protein, involved in repression of the silent mating-type
loci, is a member of the chromo shadow group. The similar modular
architecture of SpSWI6, HP1 and HP1-like proteins sup ports the model that
the specificity of action of chromatin proteins is generated by
combinations of protein modules.
