Mitoproximal Protein Database

A collaborative project with Jason Cunha, Iris Xu, and Christian Landaverde to build an SQL database and public web interface displaying the work of Fetterman & Leyfer (2023), who used a data-driven approach to identify nuclear-encoded proteins relevant to mitochondrial function.

Background

Fetterman & Leyfer (2023) developed a computational approach to identify nuclear-encoded proteins that are relevant to mitochondrial function, which they termed mitoproximal proteins. This SQL database makes their dataset easily queryable and browsable.

Features

Search functions for mitoproximal proteins
Filterable by genomic location and dataset source
Links to ensembl protein database
Hosted publicly
