Data collection & curation
To collect amyloid-related databases, we searched PubMed, Google and
Google Scholar databases using queries such as “amyloid database”, “IDP
database”, “prion database, etc.
We manually curated all information for databases featured in a
Amyloid-related database list tab. To do that we
carefully analysed publications and/or websites describing given
database looking for the following information:
- link to the web server (integrated into Database
name column),
- what is their focus, amyloids, prions, IDPs, interactions
(Focus column)
- what kind of data do they store, experimental, predictions or both
(Type of data column)
- do they store only amyloids (Only amyloids
column)
- do they include experimental conditions (Includes
experimental conditions column)
- usability of data creating generalized models
(Usability column),
- what kind of structural information is gathered (*Includes
structural information** column),
- do they highlight proteins APRs (Identifies APRs
column),
- current status of database (Current status),
- date of last update or publication date (Published or last
update column),
- external sources of proteins/peptides in database (we didn’t mention
own discoveries) and links to and other sources that are integrated into
the database (Data sources and links to other db
column),
- link to publication (DOI column)
Then, we checked if the links to the databases provided in the
articles function correctly. Otherwise, we tried to find them either
through a search engine or by contacting the database developers.
The Updates tab indicates latest changes in the
list.
