http://great.stanford.edu/public/html/splash.php

Data analysis service that predicts functions of cis-regulatory regions identified by localized measurements of DNA binding events across an entire genome. Whereas previous methods took into account only binding proximal to genes, GREAT is able to properly incorporate distal binding sites and control for false positives using a binomial test over the input genomic regions. GREAT incorporates annotations from 20 ontologies and is available as a web application. The utility of GREAT extends to data generated for transcription-associated factors, open chromatin, localized epigenomic markers and similar functional data sets, and comparative genomics sets.

http://inparanoid.sbc.su.se/cgi-bin/index.cgi

Collection of pairwise comparisons between 100 whole genomes generated by a fully automatic method for finding orthologs and in-paralogs between TWO species. Ortholog clusters in the InParanoid are seeded with a two-way best pairwise match, after which an algorithm for adding in-paralogs is applied. The method bypasses multiple alignments and phylogenetic trees, which can be slow and error-prone steps in classical ortholog detection. Still, it robustly detects complex orthologous relationships and assigns confidence values for in-paralogs. The original data sets can be downloaded.

Catalog of internet resources relating to biological model organisms, and is part of the Biosciences area of the Virtual Library project. The main Model Organisms Library discussed in this website are: * E. coli (bacterium) * Yeasts (Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and other species) * Dictyostelium discoideum (slime mold) * Drosophila melanogaster (fruit fly) * Xenopus laevis (African clawed frog) Many aspects of biology are similar in most or all organisms, but it is frequently much easier to study particular aspects in particular organisms - for instance, genetics is easier in small organisms that breed quickly, and very difficult in humans! The most popular model organisms have strong advantages for experimental research, and become even more useful when other scientists have already worked on them, discovering techniques, genes and other useful information.

http://www.textpresso.org/

An information extracting and processing package for biological literature that can be used online or installed locally via a downloadable software package, http://www.textpresso.org/downloads.html Textpresso's two major elements are (1) access to full text, so that entire articles can be searched, and (2) introduction of categories of biological concepts and classes that relate two objects (e.g., association, regulation, etc.) or describe one (e.g., methods, etc). A search engine enables the user to search for one or a combination of these categories and/or keywords within an entire literature. The Textpresso project serves the biological and biomedical research community by providing: * Full text literature searches of model organism research and subject-specific articles at individual sites. Major elements of these search engines are (1) access to full text, so that the entire content of articles can be searched, and (2) search capabilities using categories of biological concepts and classes that relate two objects (e.g., association, regulation, etc.) or identify one (e.g., cell, gene, allele, etc). The search engines are flexible, enabling users to query the entire literature using keywords, one or more categories or a combination of keywords and categories. * Text classification and mining of biomedical literature for database curation. They help database curators to identify and extract biological entities and facts from the full text of research articles. Examples of entity identification and extraction include new allele and gene names and human disease gene orthologs; examples of fact identification and extraction include sentence retrieval for curating gene-gene regulation, Gene Ontology (GO) cellular components and GO molecular function annotations. In addition they classify papers according to curation needs. They employ a variety of methods such as hidden Markov models, support vector machines, conditional random fields and pattern matches. Our collaborators include WormBase, FlyBase, SGD, TAIR, dictyBase and the Neuroscience Information Framework. They are looking forward to collaborating with more model organism databases and projects. * Linking biological entities in PDF and online journal articles to online databases. They have established a journal article mark-up pipeline that links select content of Genetics journal articles to model organism databases such as WormBase and SGD. The entity markup pipeline links over nine classes of objects including genes, proteins, alleles, phenotypes, and anatomical terms to the appropriate page at each database. The first article published with online and PDF-embedded hyperlinks to WormBase appeared in the September 2009 issue of Genetics. As of January 2011, we have processed around 70 articles, to be continued indefinitely. Extension of this pipeline to other journals and model organism databases is planned. Textpresso is useful as a search engine for researchers as well as a curation tool. It was developed as a part of WormBase and is used extensively by C. elegans curators. Textpresso has currently been implemented for 24 different literatures, among them Neuroscience, and can readily be extended to other corpora of text.

http://crezoo.crt-dresden.de/crezoo/

Database of helpful set of CreERT2 driver lines expressing in various regions of the developing and adult zebrafish. The lines have been generated via the insertion of a mCherry-T2A-CreERT2 in a gene trap approach or by using promoter fragments driving CreERT2. You can search the list of all transgenic lines or single entries by insertions (gene) or expression patterns (anatomy/region). In most cases the CreERT2 expression profile using in situ hybridization at 24 hpf and 48 hpf is shown, but also additional information (e.g. mCherry or CreERT2 expression at adult stages, transactivation of a Cre-dependent reporter line) is displayed. Currently, not all insertions have been mapped to a genomic location but the database will be regularly updated adding newly generated insertions and mapping information. Your help in improving and broadening the database by giving your opinion or knowledge of expression patterns is highly appreciated.

http://bpg.utoledo.edu/~afedorov/lab/eid.html

Data sets of protein-coding intron-containing genes that contain gene information from humans, mice, rats, and other eukaryotes, as well as genes from species whose genomes have not been completely sequenced. This is a comprehensive and convenient dataset of sequences for computational biologists who study exon-intron gene structures and pre-mRNA splicing. The database is derived from GenBank release 112, and it contains protein-coding genes that harbor introns, along with extensive descriptions of each gene and its DNA and protein sequences, as well as splice motif information. They have created subdatabases of genes whose intron positions have been experimentally determined. The collection also contains data on untranslated regions of gene sequences and intron-less genes. For species with entirely sequenced genomes, species-specific databases have been generated. A novel Mammalian Orthologous Intron Database (MOID) has been introduced which includes the full set of introns that come from orthologous genes that have the same positions relative to the reading frames.

IDEAL, Intrinsically Disordered proteins with Extensive Annotations and Literature, is a collection of knowledge on experimentally verified intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) or intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs). IDEAL contains manually curated annotations on IDPs in locations, structures, and functional sites such as protein binding regions and posttranslational modification sites together with references and structural domain assignments. Protean segment One of the unique phenomena seen in IDPs is so-called the coupled folding and binding, where a short flexible segment can bind to its binding partner with forming a specific structure to act as a molecular recognition element. IDEAL explicitly annotates these regions as protean segment (ProS) when unstructured and structured information are both available in the region. Access to the data All the entries are tabulated in the list and individual entries can be retrieved by using the search tool at the upper-right corner in this page. IDEAL also provides the BLAST search, which can find homologs in IDEAL. All the information in IDEAL can be downloaded in the XML file.

http://zgc.nci.nih.gov/

Part of zebrafish genome project. ZGC project to produce cDNA libraries, clones and sequences to provide complete set of full-length (open reading frame) sequences and cDNA clones of expressed genes for zebrafish. All ZGC sequences are deposited in GenBank and clones can be purchased from distributors of IMAGE consortium. With conclusion of ZGC project in September 2008, GenBank records of ZGC sequences will be frozen, without further updates. Since definition of what constitutes full-length coding region for some of genes and transcripts for which we have ZGC clones will likely change in future, users planning to order ZGC clones will need to monitor for these changes. Users can make use of genome browsers and gene-specific databases, such as UCSC Genome browser, NCBI's Map Viewer, and Entrez Gene, to view relevant regions of genome (browsers) or gene-related information (Entrez Gene).
