FPBase: The Fluorescent Protein Database

  • FPBase is a model for what open-access academic databases should look like for novel protein sequences.

    It's a thankless job to do all of the comparisons/reviews of proteins with similar functions. And then even more of a challenge to take that hard-earned data and make it accessible and immediately useful. But it is foundational to moving the field forward.

    Thank you, and keep up the good work.

  • FPBase and Talley Lambert ( twitter.com/talleyjlambert ) are both awesome. I'm a physicist working with fluorescence microscopy, and I use tools that Talley developed or contributed to all the time.

    Which reminds me, also check out napari.org for a nice viewing/annotation tool for N-dimensional numpy arrays.

  • Really amazing resource that I’ve used before when pulling FP sequences. I really wish there were more bio databases like it! Simple, clean, great
