This is the XML Schema describing the XML format of an entry from the Ligand-Gated Ion Channel database. Level: 1 Version: 7 Authors: Nicolas Le Novère (lenov@ebi.ac.uk) Demouhi Marie-Ange Djite (madjite@ebi.ac.uk) Marco Donizelli (maleko@ebi.ac.uk) Date: Thu Oct 14 14:04:37 BST 2004 The LGICdb entry root element. Currently it contains only the entry. We can imagine adding other type of info in the future (e.g. rendering or metadata). The LGICdb entry itself. The entry definition. The name(genus, species) of the organism in which this subunit is founded. Locus: Chromosomal localisation of the gene which encodes this ligand-gated ion channel subunit. The map is a representation of the linear arrangement of genes a chromosome. For example Xp21 means that the gene is at 21 cM from the centromere on the chromosome X's long arm. List of all biosequences. A biosequence can have three types. It can be protein, transcript or genomic. The set of biosequence types. The sequence is a string of letters representing the amino-acids (protein) or the nucleotides (DNA). List of files containing atomic coordinates of part or totality of the subunit. File containing atomic coordinates of part or totality of the subunit. List of other databases identifiers related to the content of the parent element (a subunit, a sequence, or a structure). The set of database identifiers. List of bibliographic references which document the content of the parent element (a subunit, a sequence or a structure). A bibliographic reference (article, book, URL, etc.). Miscellaneous notes relative to the parent element.
