Introduction to biological databases

1. Try to find an alive database (with its corresponding home server address and the date of the latest update) dealing with:

nucleic acid sequences (in Japan)
microarray data
mass spectrometry data repository
protein protein interaction data
rat enamel 2D gel electrophoresis
CFTR mutations

Tricks:
You can search databases with Google or with the ExPASy Life Science Directory
