The present paper describes AMmtDB, a database collecting the multi-
aligned sequences of vertebrate mitochondrial genes coding for proteins and
tRNAs, as well as the multiple alignment of the mammalian mtDNA main
regulatory region (D-loop) sequences. The genes coding for proteins are
multi-aligned based on the translated sequences and both the nucleotide and
amino acid multi-alignments are provided. As far as the genes coding for
tRNAs are concerned, the multi-alignments based on the primary and the
secondary structures are both provided; for the mammalian D-loop
multi-alignments we report the conserved regions of the entire D-loop
(CSB1, CSB2, CSB3, the central region, ETAS1 and ETAS2) as defined by Sbisa
et al. [ Gene (1997), 205, 125-140). A flatfile format for AMmtDB has been
designed allowing its implementation in SRS
(http://bio-www.ba.cnr.it:8000/BioWWW/#AMMTDB ). Data selected through SRS
can be managed using GeneDoc or other programs for the management of
multi-aligned data depending on the user's operative system. The multiple
alignments have been produced with CLUSTALV and PILEUP programs and then
carefully optimized manually.
