ARALIP: The Arabidopsis Acyl-Lipid Metabolism Website
This version of the ARALIP website, and many figures were updated summer 2012 by the contributors.
Additional minor updates were added fall 2012. A number of other enhancements to the website were added by Basil Shorrosh. A database of mutants of Arabidopsis acyl-lipid metabolism was integrated with ARALIP in late 2014.
This website was developed together with a chapter on Acyl Lipid Metabolism for
The Arabidopsis Book.
The
ARALIP
website has evolved from a
website
developed by Fred Beisson in 2003 and described by
Beisson et al. (2003)
Basil Shorrosh created the ARALIP website, the pathway figures, and the underlying relational database.
Goals:
-
To improve the quality of the annotation of Arabidopsis
genes related to acyl lipid metabolism
-
To provide the plant lipid community with a common
platform of information, where new data can be collected and organized.
-
To define gaps in the knowledge of plant lipid metabolism
and highlight where additional work is needed
-
To provide a summary of Protocols and Methods used
for analysis of Arabidopsis lipids
-
To provide a detailed summary of the composition of
Arabidopsis lipids
Features:
-
This database has been developed by a worldwide community
effort involving 27 authors and is accompanied by a summary for each
pathway in the chapter ‘Acyl Lipid Metabolism’ in The Arabidopsis Book.
-
This database is organized by pathways represented
by key navigation figures in the ‘pathways’
homepage
-
Each pathway includes hyperlinks to further information
on reactions and proteins. These hyperlinks are activated by clicking
on any of the red or purple letters in the figure. Each link will lead
to a page of information on the gene(s) that encode the linked protein,
annotations provided by the authors of this chapter, key references,
known mutants, links to expression and coexpression data, and other
information.
-
UPDATES:
ARALIP is designed
to be updated based on community input and we encourage all plant lipid
researchers to send updates and corrections via the on-line ‘comments’
page. These will be periodically entered into the database after review
by the authors.
Contributors:
-
The names and contact information of each contributor
are provided with the sections they wrote for The Arabidopsis Book chapter
so that others can contact the appropriate expert with corrections,
updates, or questions.
-
All contributing authors are also listed in the
‘contributors’ page
