IMGT

• The main reference database for immune-loci
• It consists of databases, tools and additional files (e.g. ontology, some notes, etc)
  • LIGM-DB: Nucleotide sequences of all kinds. Can be C, V, J, D, combinations thereof.
    • Seems to be pulling in from Genbank and change their annotations slightly with different keywords
    • Automatic transformation of manual annotation?
    • Example: Genbank AF139844
      • in IMGT: http://imgt.org/cgi-bin/IMGTlect.jv?query=201+AF139844
      • on NCBI: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/4732152?report=graph
      • Both look very similar, almost identical information
      • Annotations that they add: Ftable
  • MHC-DB
    • Also pulls in from Genbank, but changes their identifiers
    • E.g. GQ240381 is annotated as a sequence of [IMGTHLA-ID:HLA06329\]
