The GPMDB contains thousands of data sets contributed by researchers around the world. The large volume of data and biological complexity means that it can be a little intimidating for first time users to figure out how to extract information form the database. This page contains our video tutorials for using the system, presented as a set of case studies and discussions.

Case: Finding phosphorylation sites using GPMDB and pSYT

This video describes the steps necessary to find the observed phosphorylation sites for a particular protein. The description is in the form of a dialogue between a biomedical researcher (as played by HRM Queen Elizabeth II) and a GPMDB power user (Beavo the clown). Together, they get the researcher started obtaining the phosphorylation sites for her protein of interest C21orf66 and its corresponding pSYT entry.

Discussion: Interpreting details found in high-throughput data

Santa and Hillary discuss the difficulties of assigning specific post-translational modifications and alternately spliced protein sequences from high throughput data and give some advice. The script was adapted from our list of suggested interpretation guidelines.
