To explore the elephant shark genome, we have conducted a survey-sequencing and comparative analysis of the elephant shark genome in collaboration with J. Craig Venter Institute. The elephant shark sequences generated under this project have been deposited at GenBank under the project accession number AAVX01000000. The sequences can also be searched using BLAST and retrieved here. Cartilaginous fishes (Chondrichthyes) represented by sharks, rays, skates and chimaeras, are phylogenetically the oldest group of living jawed vertebrates. They constitute an important group for our understanding of the origins of the complex developmental and physiological systems of jawed vertebrates. They are also an useful outgroup for bony vertebrates such as tetrapods and teleost fishes and help in identifying specialized features that have led to the evolution of diverse groups of bony vertebrates. The elephant shark (Callorhinchus milii), also known as the elephant fish and ghost shark, is a chimaera belonging to the Order Chimaeriformes and Family Callorhynchidae. It has the smallest genome among the known cartilaginous fish genomes. Thus, it was proposed as a model cartilaginous fish genome for whole-genome sequencing and comparative analysis (Venkatesh et al. 2005. Curr. Biol. 15: R82-R83). The following resources of the elephant shark are available for the scientific community: *Elephant Shark 1.4x assembly fasta sequences zipped 227 megabytes *Genomic DNA *~8x coverage BAC library (average insert size, ~150 kb) *cDNA libraries (under construction) *cDNA (dated 11 April 2008) with orthologs in 5 vertebrates (human, opossum, chicken, frog, fugu)

http://www.treefam.org

A database of phylogenetic trees of animal genes. It aims at developing a curated resource that gives reliable information about ortholog and paralog assignments, and evolutionary history of various gene families. TreeFam defines a gene family as a group of genes that evolved after the speciation of single-metazoan animals. It also tries to include outgroup genes like yeast (S. cerevisiae and S. pombe) and plant (A. thaliana) to reveal these distant members.TreeFam is also an ortholog database. Unlike other pairwise alignment based ones, TreeFam infers orthologs by means of gene trees. It fits a gene tree into the universal species tree and finds historical duplications, speciations and losses events. TreeFam uses this information to evaluate tree building, guide manual curation, and infer complex ortholog and paralog relations.The basic elements of TreeFam are gene families that can be divided into two parts: TreeFam-A and TreeFam-B families. TreeFam-B families are automatically created. They might contain errors given complex phylogenies. TreeFam-A families are manually curated from TreeFam-B ones. Family names and node names are assigned at the same time. The ultimate goal of TreeFam is to present a curated resource for all the families. phylogenetic tree, animal, vertebrate, invertebrate, gene, ortholog, paralog, evolutionary history, gene families, single-metazoan animals, outgroup genes like yeast (S. cerevisiae and S. pombe), plant (A. thaliana), historical duplications, speciations, losses, Human, Genome, comparative genomics

http://snp.ims.u-tokyo.ac.jp/

JSNP is a database of Japanese Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms. It includes BLAST capability, keyword search, mapping information, and other tools that allow users to gather information on SNP's. SNPs are the most common form of DNA sequence variation. They are useful polymorphic markers to investigate genes susceptible to diseases or those related to drug responsiveness. Furthermore, a small subset of SNPs directly influences to the quality and/or quantity of the gene product, and increase a risk to certain diseases and to severe side effect by drugs. Through a discovery of a large number of SNPs, we would like to contribute to identification of disease-related genes and also to establish a diagnostic method to avoid drug side-effect.

DISCO is an information integration approach designed to facilitate interoperation among Internet resources. It consists of a set of tools and services that allows resource providers who maintain information to share it with automated systems such as NIF. NIF is then able to harvest the information and keep those sets of information up-to-date. How is this accomplished? By using a series of files and/or scripts which are then placed in the root directory of the resource developer''s resource. (NIF can also host the files on its servers and crawl for changes there.) Once the files of the resource providers are in place, and DISCO is notified, the DISCO server can then recognize and consume the information shared, providing machine understandable information to NIF Integrator Servers (also known as Aggregators) about your resource. What can DISCO do for my resource? * Inform search engines about your resource and keep your NIF Registry resource description up-to-date. * Expose your data (semi-structured datasets or fields within your structured database) through NIF''s Data Federation you choose what data will be shared. * Create links from an NCBI database (e.g., PubMed, Protein, Nucleotide, etc.) to your data records in NIF using Entrez LinkOut. * Advertise your terminology or ontological information. * Share your resource''s news with the NIF community., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 16,2025.
