MitoDrome is a web-based database which provides genomic annotations about nuclear genes of D. melanogaster encoding for mitochondrial proteins. The main concept of MitoDrome is to use the Drosophila as a model to provide data that can be useful for the investigation of issues related to the cell energy metabolism and mitochondrial biogenesis. Data in the database are derived from in silico analysis relying on Human versus D. melanogaster sequence comparison. Here we give a brief rationale of the database and update you on improvements carried out in this last year on both new MitoDrome genome annotations and the web interface. For a more detailed description we suggest you read the article recently published (see reference 1).

Abstract

Data in the database are derived from in silico analysis relying on Human versus D. melanogaster sequence comparison.
