Abstract
Data is the key in biological knowledge discovery. The data used in discovery is specific and specialized to a specific issue in cell and molecular biology. This is generally achieved by creating datasets of specific nature. Here, we discuss the importance of biological datasets in information gleaning and describe procedures for specialized dataset creation. The creation of data subsets for human leukocyte antigen (HLA) peptide binding, HLA–peptide structures, HLA class I and class II grouping of structures with peptides, protein subunit interactions, homodimers, heterodimers, homodimer folding into categories, fusion proteins, intron-containing genes in eukaryotes and intronless genes in eukaryotes, is described in this chapter.
