# Tools Used

Thank you!

A heartfelt thank you to the publishers, authors, and institutions of open knowledge, data, and image sources for non-commercial purposes!

# AlphaFold Database

AlphaFold is an AI system developed by Google DeepMind that predicts the 3D structure of a protein based on its amino acid sequence. It consistently achieves accuracy comparable to experimental results.

Google DeepMind and the European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) have collaborated to create AlphaFold DB and make these predictions freely accessible to the scientific community. The latest version of the database contains over 200 million entries and largely covers UniProt (the standard repository for protein sequences and annotations). We provide individual downloads for the human proteome and the proteomes of 47 other key organisms important for research and global health.

# MolView

MolView is a web-based, intuitive data visualization platform available for free use. With MolView, various scientific databases can be searched, including compound, protein, and spectral databases, and datasets from these databases can be displayed as interactive visualizations using WebGL and HTML5 technologies. Many thanks to Herman Bergwerf for his dedication to maintaining the platform molview.org.

# NIH Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx)

The NIH Genotype-Tissue Expression project was established to create a sample and data resource for studying the relationship between genetic variation and gene expression across multiple human tissues. This track displays the average gene expression levels in 52 tissues and 2 cell lines based on RNA-seq data from the GTEx final data release. This release is based on data from 17,382 tissue samples collected from 948 adult postmortem donors. GTEx Analysis Release V10 for SLC6A8 (opens new window)
