Conclusion
The Immunome Knowledge Base (IKB) provides a comprehensive resource for immunological data, integrating various databases and offering new information about immune system genes and proteins.
Supporting Evidence
- IKB integrates data from multiple sources to provide a comprehensive view of the immune system.
- The database includes information on 893 essential human immunome genes.
- New data on genetic variations and protein modifications are continuously added.
Takeaway
The Immunome Knowledge Base is like a big library that collects important information about the immune system, helping scientists study how our bodies fight off sickness.
Methodology
The IKB was created by integrating data from three previous databases and adding new information about genes and proteins involved in the immune system.
Limitations
The database may not cover all aspects of the immune system and relies on the accuracy of the integrated data sources.
