This project is a collaboration between the Laboratory for Tropical Crop Improvement, Division of Crop-bio-engineering at the Catholic University of Leuven and the Laboratory of Plant Biochemistry and physiology at the University of Antwerp. Proteins were identified in the Centre for Proteome analysis from the University of Antwerp.

2D electrophoresis proteome database: Musa spp.

This page serves as the starting point for Musa spp. data in the proteome databases from the Centre for Proteome Analysis from the University of Antwerp. The correct bookmark address is http://www.pdata.ua.ac.be/musa/

The aim of this database is to facilitate data-integration, interrelation and querying, and to provide interested researchers of the datasets on which the proteome research papers of this project were based. A number of tools is currently under development that in the future will assist in querying and analysing the data presented here. For more info please look on our bioinformatics tools website.
