[DAS] gene annotation

[Andy Jenkinson]

Hi Ridvan,

There are certainly a significant number of DAS data sources providing  
gene and protein annotations (such as protein-protein interactions as  
you say). DAS is particularly well suited to the type of integration  
problem you illustrate, in that integrating many disparate data  
sources is not a scaleable task without a common data format such as  
DAS. However I suspect there is a fair amount not available through  
DAS sources, so any approach you take is likely to include other  
methods. I suggest you take a look at the data sources in the DAS  
Registry (http://www.dasregistry.org/) as a guide to what is  
available. I believe MGI may also operate a (genomic) DAS server in  
the future but cannot confirm that.

Cheers,
Andy
