blog utilities – Nannochloropsis gaditana

New features on the Bibliography section

Elisa Corteggiani Carpinelli — Wed, 29 Jan 2014 15:44:52 +0000

We added a new feature to the Bibliography: “Altmetric donuts” close to each publication listed in the page.

What are the Article Level metrics (Altmetric) ?

Altmetrics give a measure of the digital impact and reach of an article by combining a selection of online indicators (both scholarly and non-scholarly) . They do this by tracking, collecting and measuring large amounts of data collected from all of the places where people talk about science online – for example, blogs, Twitter, Facebook, Google+, message boards and mainstream newspapers and magazines. Altmetric allows authors and publishers to see what people are saying about a scholarly paper and can tell them how much attention a paper is receiving relative to their peers.

The Altmetric donuts are a representation of the Altmetric information:

the number in the centre of the donut is the Altmetric score (e.g. the absolute number of citations in the media);
the colours surrounding the donut reflect the mix of sources mentioning that score – blue for Twitter, yellow for blogs, red for mainstream media sources and so on;
by clicking on the donut you access a page with the details of the Altmetric analysis

The score is automatically updated every week, so that the followers of the blog can access real time information about the attention that is developing around each of the listed papers.

We encourage you to submit your paper to the blog to increase the reach of your achievements!

Families of orthologous proteins: file type

Andrea Telatin — Tue, 12 Nov 2013 09:48:57 +0000

Comparing the protein families of N. gaditana and N. oceanica, we produced the lists of exclusive proteins of each species. These lists are available for download in our FTP area.

Each file is a list of families of orthologous proteins. All the families of each file are populated only by proteins belonging to one species of Nannochloropsis. The families may contain proteins of one or more strains of the same Nannochloropsis species.

In the .txt files there is one family per line, described by the name of the organism (species and strain), then a “|”, the list of the proteins of that organism (indicated by the protein ID) the name of the following organism, another “|”, the proteins of the following organism and finally the annotation of the listed proteins.

example:

N.gaditanaB-31|Naga_100019g47.1 N.gaditanaCCMP526|Nga20827 nudix hydrolase;

Even though the differences and the imprecisions of the various gene predictions probably play a major role in the determination of the differences among the two species, a close look at the lists of proteins that are putatively assigned as characteristic of each species my reserve interesting surprises!
