New ELM Web Interface

The ELM resource got a new web interface:

All HTML pages are now dynamically created using the python framework DJANGO; JavaScript is used to make the whole site more interactive and to communicate to the server via AJAX callbacks.
The whole website was redesigned introducing many new features such as full-text search for ELM classes as well as instances.

02 Feb 2010

New ELM candidate motif page

We have created a page listing unannotated candidate motifs that might become ELM entries with your help. Please, feel free to browse this page and to annotate ELM with us.

04 Dec 2009

ELM Update imminent

The new ELM paper is out! New data and new motif entries are being finalised and will be added shortly to the ELM database.

08 Apr 2009

ELM Database Update

New entries for KEPE motifs. Also modifications to some existing entries e.g. 14-3-3 ligand motifs.

02 Apr 2009

ELM Structure Filter 1.1 added

Additional functionality added. A p-value is assigned to each score of an ELM match. These p-values provide a conservative estimate of the probability that an ELM prediction with a given score is a true positive.

19 Dec 2008

ELM Structure Filter 1.0 added

Revised scoring scheme with better discrimination power, based on the non-wildcard positions of the linear motifs.

07 Nov 2008

ELM Database Update

New entries for Raptor, VHL, AP-2, TRF binder motifs. Also many mods to existing entries with new instances, improvements or corrections e.g. EH, Dbox. Inappropriate PIP2-binding structural motifs deleted.

01 May 2008

Linear Motif Review available

12 Feb 2008

ELM Structural Filter (BETA version) added

The ELM Structural Filter evaluates the context of linear motifs lying within the query sequence, whenever a globular domain structure is available (≥70% similarity to the query sequence).
The filter scores both the secondary structure overlap and the accessibility of the individual residues of each motif.

13 Dec 2007

ELM Database Update

New entries for PP2B, CAP-GLY, USP7, SIah. Experimental instances added to some existing entries e.g.PP1.

09 May 2007

ELM Database Update

Substantial update to the ELM database. Fixes to many existing entries. More than 10 new motif patterns e.g. NES, Destruction Boxes, MAP kinase docking motifs.

26 Oct 2006

ELM Database Web Service Available

As part of the EMBRACE project to integrate various European Bioinformatics resources, protein motif data stored in the ELM database can now be directly accessed through a Web Services schema. Users interested in using the WS are requested to contact the ELM Webmaster

24 Jun 2005

ELM instance mapper added

The ELM instance mapper allow the identification of known experimental ELM instances in query sequences if annotated in the ELM resource.
Additionally, predictions in sequences similar to annotated ELM instance sequences will be scored, if the motif position is conserved.

25 Jun 2003

ELM paper is out
