This page provides help to the users of the AGODB database on how to efficiently use this repository of Ago proteins. For each module which is implemented in AGODB, here we provide the figures and description on how to use that module. Three general modules are provided here.

Data browsing

The AGODB database can be conveniently browsed. By clicking 'BROWSE' at the top of AGODB website, users firstly access a brief browsing table which displays fields including AgoID, Accession, ProteinName, Organism, AgoType and links guiding to the 'Detail' page. More detailed descriptions are provided in the 'Detail' page that can be reached by selecting 'more'.

Data searching

AGODB provides search results as a table in the search result page similar to browsing the database. Users can click 'SEARCH' to enter into the search interface and search AGODB by inputting keywords and choosing corresponding search terms. Most fields can be used to search against the database.

Ago predicting

The AGOPREDICT tool in the AGODB is designed to predict whether the proteins you input are Agos. By clicking 'AGOPREDICT' at the top of AGODB website, the page will skip to AGOPredict page in a new window and users can enter into the interface of AGOPredict.
