http://www.poissonboltzmann.org/apbs/

APBS is a software package for modeling biomolecular solvation through solution of the Poisson-Boltzmann equation (PBE), one of the most popular continuum models for describing electrostatic interactions between molecular solutes in salty, aqueous media. APBS was designed to efficiently evaluate electrostatic properties for such simulations for a wide range of length scales to enable the investigation of molecules with tens to millions of atoms. It also provides implicit solvent models of nonpolar solvation which accurately account for both repulsive and attractive solute-solvent interactions. APBS uses FEtk (the Finite Element ToolKit) to solve the Poisson-Boltzmann equation numerically. FEtk is a portable collection of finite element modeling class libraries written in an object-oriented version of C. It is designed to solve general coupled systems of nonlinear partial differential equations using adaptive finite element methods, inexact Newton methods, and algebraic multilevel methods.

DynGO is a client-server application that provides several advanced functionalities in addition to the standard browsing capability. DynGO allows users to conduct batch retrieval of GO annotations for a list of genes and gene products, and semantic retrieval of genes and gene products sharing similar GO annotations (which requires more disk and memory to handle the semantic retrieval). The result are shown in an association tree organized according to GO hierarchies and supported with many dynamic display options such as sorting tree nodes or changing orientation of the tree. For GO curators and frequent GO users, DynGO provides fast and convenient access to GO annotation data. DynGO is generally applicable to any data set where the records are annotated with GO terms, as illustrated by two examples. Requirements: Java Platform: Windows compatible, Linux compatible, Unix compatible

http://rankprop.gs.washington.edu/svm-fold/

This web server makes predictions of family, superfamily and fold level classifications of proteins based on the Structural Classification of Proteins (SCOP) hierarchy using the Support Vector Machine (SVM) learning algorithm. SVM-FOLD detects subtle protein sequence similarities by learning from all available annotated proteins, as well as utilizing potential hits as identified by PSI-BLAST. Predictions of classes of proteins that do not have any known example with a significant pairwise PSI-BLAST E-value can still be found using SVMs.

http://gila.bioengr.uic.edu/snp/toposnp

A topographic database for analyzing non-synonymous SNPs (nsSNPs) that can be mapped onto known 3D structures of proteins. These include disease- associated nsSNPs derived from the Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) database and other nsSNPs derived from dbSNP, a resource at the National Center for Biotechnology Information that catalogs SNPs. TopoSNP further classifies each nsSNP site into three categories based on their geometric location: those located in a surface pocket or an interior void of the protein, those on a convex region or a shallow depressed region, and those that are completely buried in the interior of the protein structure. These unique geometric descriptions provide more detailed mapping of nsSNPs to protein structures. It also includes relative entropy of SNPs calculated from multiple sequence alignment as obtained from the Pfam database (a database of protein families and conserved protein motifs) as well as manually adjusted multiple alignments obtained from ClustalW. These structural and conservational data can be useful for studying whether nsSNPs in coding regions are likely to lead to phenotypic changes. TopoSNP includes an interactive structural visualization web interface, as well as downloadable batch data.

http://dommino.org

DOMMINO is a comprehensive structural database on macromolecular interactions. As of June, 2011, it contains more than 407,000 binary interactions. The distinctive features of DOMMINO are: # Automated updates: DOMMINO is fully automated and is designed to update itself on a weekly basis, one day after a PDB weekly update. Thus, the community will be able to study macromolecular interactions almost immediately after they are released by PDB. # Coverage of non-domain mediated interactions: In addition to domain-domain and domain-peptide interactions the database characterizes the interaction between domains and unstructured protein regions that are not parts of a domain, such as inter-domain linkers and N- and C-termini. The interactions that involve the latter unstructured parts of proteins have been included to the database for the first time providing additional ~186,000 interactions (~45% of the total number of interactions, as of June, 2011). # Coverage of new structural domains: DOMMINO employs one of the most accurate structural classifications of proteins, SCOP. In addition to the existing SCOP-annotated domains, we employ a state-of-the-art machine learning approach to classify newer protein structures into existing SCOP families. With the progress of structural genomics, we do not expect a significant growth of the number of structurally novel folds or protein families and therefore our method allows covering almost all new protein structures. In total, using this predictive approach has allowed us to add more than 261,000 new interactions, almost twice as many as existing SCOP-annotated interactions. # The web-interface is designed to give the user a possibility of a flexible search as well as the capability to study macromolecular interactions in a PDB structure at the interaction network level and at the individual interface level. The web interface of the DOMMINO database includes a comprehensive list of help topics linked to the specific actions. In addition, we have designed a step-by-step tutorial that covers all aspects of working with the data from DOMMINO using the web interface.

Longitudinal study of a nationally representative sample of adolescents in grades 7-12 in the United States during the 1994-95 school year. Public data on about 21,000 people first surveyed in 1994 are available on the first phases of the study, as well as study design specifications. It also includes some parent and biomarker data. The Add Health cohort has been followed into young adulthood with four in-home interviews, the most recent in 2008, when the sample was aged 24-32. Add Health combines longitudinal survey data on respondents social, economic, psychological and physical well-being with contextual data on the family, neighborhood, community, school, friendships, peer groups, and romantic relationships, providing unique opportunities to study how social environments and behaviors in adolescence are linked to health and achievement outcomes in young adulthood. The fourth wave of interviews expanded the collection of biological data in Add Health to understand the social, behavioral, and biological linkages in health trajectories as the Add Health cohort ages through adulthood. The restricted-use contract includes four hours of free consultation with appropriate staff; after that, there''s a fee for help. Researchers can also share information through a listserv devoted to the database.

Flexible Structural Neighborhood is a database of structural neighbors of proteins as seen by FATCAT - a flexible protein structure alignment program. The server accepts either a protein (PDB ID) or a domain (SCOP ID) as a query. For the former case, the server first displays the information of chains and domains of a given protein. Afterwards, users can retrieve similar structures for a domain (if domain information is available, i.e., the protein is collected by SCOP), or for a chain otherwise. The protein structure database we collected for similar structure search includes a representative set at 90% sequence identity of SCOP domains, and of up-to-date PDB entries that are not included in the latest release of SCOP.

Project whose aim is to produce a robust phylogeny of all the deepest branches within a mega-diverse group, the spiders, by combining a massive amount of newly generated comparative genomic data with a substantial set of new and re-assessed data on morphology and behavior. They propose to collect a huge amount of genomic information in order to test and improve the results achieved by over 50 detailed morphological cladistic analyses conducted by more than 30 investigators during the past 15 years. The insignificant amount of genomic work to date on spiders has been uncoordinated and of little utility for broad-scale phylogenetic investigation. The advent of high-throughput DNA sequencing, however, makes it feasible to examine substantial parts of the genome across a dense sampling of spider taxa. They propose to sequence at least 50 loci (genome samples of 500-1,000 or more base pairs that can be sequenced as single pieces in both directions simultaneously) for representatives of at least 500 genera of spiders and their closest relatives (the whipscorpion orders Amblypygi, Uropygi, and Schizomida). These genera will be carefully selected by a sampling strategy designed to maximize the resolution of deep branches within spider phylogeny, and will purposefully include all the previously most-favored study organisms of ethologists, ecologists, physiologists, and developmental and molecular biologists, thus integrating and contextualizing their research. Data matrices will be produced that combine the new genomic data with a new, comprehensive survey of morphological and behavioral homologies, offering a unique index to all comparative data on one large group. New computer software, designed in large part by members of their group and using massively parallel processing to achieve supercomputing capability, makes such analyses feasible.
