Software for Mapping and Quantifying Mammalian Transcriptomes by RNA-Seq. Its functions are to (i) assign reads that map uniquely in the genome to their site of origin and, for reads that match equally well to several sites (''multireads''), assign them to their most likely site(s) of origin; (ii) detect splice-crossing reads and assign them to their gene of origin; (iii) organize reads that cluster together, but do not map to an already known exon, into candidate exons or parts of exons; and (iv) calculate the prevalence of transcripts from each known or newly proposed RNA, based on normalized counts of unique reads, spliced reads and multireads. The new candidate RNA regions produced can be thought of as ESTs, and, like ESTs, some are provisionally appended to existing gene models if they meet several additional criteria. Remaining unassigned candidate transcribed regions (labeled RNAFAR features) can then be used in conjunction with other confirming data to develop new or revised gene models.

A collection of Pathway/Genome Databases which describes the genome and metabolic pathways of a single organism. The BioCyc collection of Pathway/Genome Databases (PGDBs) provides an electronic reference source on the genomes and metabolic pathways of sequenced organisms. BioCyc PGDBs are generated by software that predicts the metabolic pathway complements of completely sequenced organisms from their genome sequences. They also include the results of a number of other computational inference procedures applied to these genomes, including predictions of which genes code for missing enzymes in metabolic pathways, and predicted operons. The BioCyc Web site provides a suite of software tools for database searching and visualization, for omics data analysis, and for comparative genomics and comparative pathway questions. The databases within the BioCyc collection are organized into tiers according to the amount of manual review and updating they have received. Tier 1 PGDBs have been created through intensive manual efforts, and receive continuous updating. Tier 2 PGDBs were computationally generated by the PathoLogic program, and have undergone moderate amounts of review and updating. Tier 3 PGDBs were computationally generated by the PathoLogic program, and have undergone no review and updating. There are 967 DBs in Tier 3. The downloadable version of BioCyc that includes the Pathway Tools software provides more speed and power than the BioCyc Web site.

Database providing a collection of all the existing polymorphic sequences in the Mammalia group. It allows the search for any polymorphic set according to different parameter values of nucleotide diversity. For data collection, diversity measures and updating they use PDA, a pipeline made of a set of Perl modules that automates the process of sequence retrieving, grouping, aligning and estimating diversity parameters from GenBank sequences. Diversity measures, including polymorphism estimates in synonymous and non-synonymous sites, linkage disequilibrium and codon bias, are calculated for each polymorphic set in different functional regions. The database also includes the primary information retrieved from different external sources: the mammalian publicly available nucleotide sequences (excluding ESTs, STSs, GSSs, working draft and patents) with their annotations and references from GenBank, and the cross-references to the PopSet database. The database content is daily updated, and records are assigned unique and permanent MamPol identification numbers to facilitate cross-database referencing.

The database of protein-chemical structural interactions includes all existing 3D structures of complexes of proteins with low molecular weight ligands. When one considers the proteins and chemical vertices of a graph, all these interactions form a network. Biological networks are powerful tools for predicting undocumented relationships between molecules. The underlying principle is that existing interactions between molecules can be used to predict new interactions. For pairs of proteins sharing a common ligand, we use protein and chemical superimpositions combined with fast structural compatibility screens to predict whether additional compounds bound by one protein would bind the other. The current version includes data from the Protein Data Bank as of August 2011. The database is updated monthly.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on October 28,2025. A chicken EST Web site has been created to provide access to the data, and a set of unique sequences has been deposited with GenBank. This site contains over 40,000 EST sequences from the chicken cDNA libraries in the University of Delaware collection. Users can perform keyword searches, BLAST nucleotide sequences against our database, view clusters of similar or overlapping clones, and order clones. The cDNA and gene sequences of many mammalian cytokines and their receptors are known. However, corresponding information on avian cytokines is limited due to the lack of cross-species activity at the functional level or strong homology at the molecular level. To improve the efficiency of identifying cytokines and novel chicken genes, a directionally cloned cDNA library from T-cell-enriched activated chicken splenocytes was constructed, and the partial sequence of 5251 clones was obtained. Sequence clustering indicates that 2357 (42%) of the clones are present as a single copy, and 2961 are distinct clones, demonstrating the high level of complexity of this library. Comparisons of the sequence data with known DNA sequences in GenBank indicate that approximately 25% of the clones match known chicken genes, 39% have similarity to known genes in other species, and 11% had no match to any sequence in the database. Several previously uncharacterized chicken cytokines and their receptors were present in our library. This collection provides a useful database for cataloging genes expressed in T cells and a valuable resource for future investigations of gene expression in avian immunology. Therefore, the Chick EST database was created.
