Database of embryonic expression patterns using a high throughput RNA in situ hybridization of the protein-coding genes identified in the Drosophila melanogaster genome with images and controlled vocabulary annotations. At the end of production pipeline gene expression patterns are documented by taking a large number of digital images of individual embryos. The quality and identity of the captured image data are verified by independently derived microarray time-course analysis of gene expression using Affymetrix GeneChip technology. Gene expression patterns are annotated with controlled vocabulary for developmental anatomy of Drosophila embryogenesis. Image, microarray and annotation data are stored in a modified version of Gene Ontology database and the entire dataset is available on the web in browsable and searchable form or MySQL dump can be downloaded. So far, they have examined expression of 7507 genes and documented them with 111184 digital photographs.

Database enables integration of genomic and phenomic data by providing access to primary experimental data, data collection protocols and analysis tools. Data represent behavioral, morphological and physiological disease-related characteristics in naive mice and those exposed to drugs, environmental agents or other treatments. Collaborative standardized collection of measured data on laboratory mouse strains to characterize them in order to facilitate translational discoveries and to assist in selection of strains for experimental studies. Includes baseline phenotype data sets as well as studies of drug, diet, disease and aging effect., protocols, projects and publications, and SNP, variation and gene expression studies. Provides tools for online analysis. Data sets are voluntarily contributed by researchers from variety of institutions and settings, or retrieved by MPD staff from open public sources. MPD has three major types of strain-centric data sets: phenotype strain surveys, SNP and variation data, and gene expression strain surveys. MPD collects data on classical inbred strains as well as any fixed-genotype strains and derivatives that are openly acquirable by the research community. New panels include Collaborative Cross (CC) lines and Diversity Outbred (DO) populations. Phenotype data include measurements of behavior, hematology, bone mineral density, cholesterol levels, endocrine function, aging processes, addiction, neurosensory functions, and other biomedically relevant areas. Genotype data are primarily in the form of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). MPD curates data into a common framework by standardizing mouse strain nomenclature, standardizing units (SI where feasible), evaluating data (completeness, statistical power, quality), categorizing phenotype data and linking to ontologies, conforming to internal style guides for titles, tags, and descriptions, and creating comprehensive protocol documentation including environmental parameters of the test animals. These elements are critical for experimental reproducibility.

A SuperFamily classification system, with rules for functional site and protein name, to facilitate the sensible propagation and standardization of protein annotation and the systematic detection of annotation errors. The PIRSF concept is being used as a guiding principle to provide comprehensive and non-overlapping clustering of UniProtKB sequences into a hierarchical order to reflect their evolutionary relationships. The PIRSF classification system is based on whole proteins rather than on the component domains; therefore, it allows annotation of generic biochemical and specific biological functions, as well as classification of proteins without well-defined domains. There are different PIRSF classification levels. The primary level is the homeomorphic family, whose members are both homologous (evolved from a common ancestor) and homeomorphic (sharing full-length sequence similarity and a common domain architecture). At a lower level are the subfamilies which are clusters representing functional specialization and/or domain architecture variation within the family. Above the homeomorphic level there may be parent superfamilies that connect distantly related families and orphan proteins based on common domains. Because proteins can belong to more than one domain superfamily, the PIRSF structure is formally a network. The FTP site provides free download for PIRSF.

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.

An ontology to describe Dictyostelium where the structural makeup of Dictyostelium and its composing parts including the different cell types, throughout its life cycle is defined. There are two main goals for this new tool: (1) promote the consistent annotation of Dictyostelium-specific events, such as phenotypes (already in use), and in the future, of gene expression information; and (2) encourage researchers to use the same terms with the same intended meaning. To this end, all terms are defined. The complete ontology can be browsed using EBI''s ontology browser tool. (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ontology-lookup/browse.do?ontName=DDANAT)

Catalog of over 1,200 position weight matrices (PWMs) for 196 different yeast transcription factors (TFs). They've curated 11 literature sources, benchmarked the published position-specific scoring matrices against in-vivo TF occupancy data and TF deletion experiments, and combined the most accurate models to produce a single collection of the best performing weight matrices for Saccharomyces cerevisiae. ScerTF is useful for a wide range of problems, such as linking regulatory sites with transcription factors, identifying a transcription factor based on a user-input matrix, finding the genes bound/regulated by a particular TF, and finding regulatory interactions between transcription factors. Enter a TF name to find the recommended matrix for a particular TF, or enter a nucleotide sequence to identify all TFs that could bind a particular region.

This resource is part of the Gene Ontology Consortium which seeks to provide controlled vocabularies for the description of the molecular function, biological process, and cellular component of gene products. These terms are to be used as attributes of gene products by collaborating databases, facilitating uniform queries across them. GO team members at MGI participate in ontology development, outreach, and functional curation of mouse gene products. The GO vocabularies have a hierarchical structure that permits a range of detail from high-level, broadly descriptive terms to very low level, highly specific terms. This broad range is useful both in annotating genes and in searching for gene information using these terms as search criteria. GO terms are defined, allowing all databases to use the terms consistently and properly. GO annotations in the databases additionally include the publication reference which allowed the association to be made and an evidence statement citing how the association was determined.

Multi-organism, publicly accessible compendium of peptides identified in a large set of tandem mass spectrometry proteomics experiments. Mass spectrometer output files are collected for human, mouse, yeast, and several other organisms, and searched using the latest search engines and protein sequences. All results of sequence and spectral library searching are subsequently processed through the Trans Proteomic Pipeline to derive a probability of correct identification for all results in a uniform manner to insure a high quality database, along with false discovery rates at the whole atlas level. The raw data, search results, and full builds can be downloaded for other uses. All results of sequence searching are processed through PeptideProphet to derive a probability of correct identification for all results in a uniform manner ensuring a high quality database. All peptides are mapped to Ensembl and can be viewed as custom tracks on the Ensembl genome browser. The long term goal of the project is full annotation of eukaryotic genomes through a thorough validation of expressed proteins. The PeptideAtlas provides a method and a framework to accommodate proteome information coming from high-throughput proteomics technologies. The online database administers experimental data in the public domain. You are encouraged to contribute to the database.
