The Characterized Protein Database, CharProtDB, is designed and being developed as a resource of expertly curated, experimentally characterized proteins described in published literature. For each protein record in CharProtDB, storage of several data types is supported. It includes functional annotation (several instances of protein names and gene symbols) taxonomic classification, literature links, specific Gene Ontology (GO) terms and GO evidence codes, EC (Enzyme Commisssion) and TC (Transport Classification) numbers and protein sequence. Additionally, each protein record is associated with cross links to all public accessions in major protein databases as ��synonymous accessions��. Each of the above data types can be linked to as many literature references as possible. Every CharProtDB entry requires minimum data types to be furnished. They are protein name, GO terms and supporting reference(s) associated to GO evidence codes. Annotating using the GO system is of importance for several reasons; the GO system captures defined concepts (the GO terms) with unique ids, which can be attached to specific genes and the three controlled vocabularies of the GO allow for the capture of much more annotation information than is traditionally captured in protein common names, including, for example, not just the function of the protein, but its location as well. GO evidence codes implemented in CharProtDB directly correlate with the GO consortium definitions of experimental codes. CharProtDB tools link characterization data from multiple input streams through synonymous accessions or direct sequence identity. CharProtDB can represent multiple characterizations of the same protein, with proper attribution and links to database sources. Users can use a variety of search terms including protein name, gene symbol, EC number, organism name, accessions or any text to search the database. Following the search, a display page lists all the proteins that match the search term. Click on the protein name to view more detailed annotated information for each protein. Additionally, each protein record can be annotated.

HaploReg is a tool for exploring annotations of the noncoding genome at variants on haplotype blocks, such as candidate regulatory SNPs at disease-associated loci. Using linkage disequilibrium (LD) information from the 1000 Genomes Project, linked SNPs and small indels can be visualized along with their predicted chromatin state in nine cell types, conservation across mammals, and their effect on regulatory motifs. HaploReg is designed for researchers developing mechanistic hypotheses of the impact of non-coding variants on clinical phenotypes and normal variation.

An experiment in web-database access to large multi-dimensional data sets using a standardized experimental platform to determine if the larger scientific community can be given simple, intuitive, and user-friendly web-based access to large microarray data sets. All data in PEPR is also available via NCBI GEO. The structure and goals of PEPR differ from other mRNA expression profiling databases in a number of important ways. * The experimental platform in PEPR is standardized, and is an Affymetrix - only database. All microarrays available in the PEPR web database should ascribe to quality control and standard operating procedures. A recent publication has described the QC/SOP criteria utilized in PEPR profiles ( The Tumor Analysis Best Practices Working Group 2004 ). * PEPR permits gene-based queries of large Affymetrix array data sets without any specialized software. For example, a number of large time series projects are available within PEPR, containing 40-60 microarrays, yet these can be simply queried via a dynamic web interface with no prior knowledge of microarray data analysis. * Projects in PEPR originate from scientists world-wide, but all data has been generated by the Research Center for Genetic Medicine, Children''''s National Medical Center, Washington DC. Future developments of PEPR will allow remote entry of Affymetrix data ascribing to the same QC/SOP protocols. They have previously described an initial implementation of PEPR, and a dynamic web-queried time series graphical interface ( Chen et al. 2004 ). A publication showing the utility of PEPR for pharmacodynamic data has recently been published ( Almon et al. 2003 ).

Databases which provide clustered sets of sequences from UniProt Knowledgebase and selected UniParc records, in order to obtain complete coverage of sequence space at several resolutions while hiding redundant sequences from view. The UniRef100 database combines identical sequences and sub-fragments with 11 or more residues (from any organism) into a single UniRef entry. The sequence of a representative protein, the accession numbers of all the merged entries, and links to the corresponding UniProtKB and UniParc records are all displayed in the entry. UniRef90 and UniRef50 are built by clustering UniRef100 sequences with 11 or more residues such that each cluster is composed of sequences that have at least 90% (UniRef90) or 50% (UniRef50) sequence identity to the longest sequence (UniRef seed sequence). All the sequences in each cluster are ranked to facilitate the selection of a representative sequence for the cluster.

PhenomeNet is a cross-species phenotype similarity network. It contains the experimentally observed phenotypes of multiple species as well as the phenotypes of human diseases. PhenomeNet provides a measure of phenotypic similarity between the phenotypes it contains. The latest release (from 22 June 2012) contains 124,730 complex phenotype nodes taken from the yeast, fish, worm, fly, rat, slime mold and mouse model organism databases as well as human disease phenotypes from OMIM and OrphaNet. The network is a complete graph in which edge weights represent the degree of phenotypic similarity. Phenotypic similarity can be used to identify and prioritize candidate disease genes, find genes participating in the same pathway and orthologous genes between species. To compute phenotypic similarity between two sets of phenotypes, we use a weighted Jaccard index. First, phenotype ontologies are used to infer all the implications of a phenotype observation using several phenotype ontologies. As a second step, the information content of each phenotype is computed and used as a weight in the Jaccard index. Phenotypic similarity is useful in several ways. Phenotypic similarity between a phenotype resulting from a genetic mutation and a disease can be used to suggest candidate genes for a disease. Phenotypic similarity can also identify genes in a same pathway or orthologous genes. PhenomeNet uses the axioms in multiple species-dependent phenotype ontologies to infer equivalent and related phenotypes across species. For this purpose, phenotype ontologies and phenotype annotations are integrated in a single ontology, and automated reasoning is used to infer equivalences. Specifically, for every phenotype, PhenomeNet infers the related mammalian phenotype and uses the Mammalian Phenotype Ontology for computing phenotypic similarity. Tools: * PhenomeBLAST - A tool for cross-species alignments of phenotypes * PhenomeDrug - method for drug-repurposing

http://modencode.org/

A comprehensive encyclopedia of genomic functional elements in the model organisms C. elegans and D. melanogaster. modENCODE is run as a Research Network and the consortium is formed by 11 primary projects, divided between worm and fly, spanning the domains of gene structure, mRNA and ncRNA expression profiling, transcription factor binding sites, histone modifications and replacement, chromatin structure, DNA replication initiation and timing, and copy number variation. The raw and interpreted data from this project is vetted by a data coordinating center (DCC) to ensure consistency and completeness. The entire modENCODE data corpus is now available on the Amazon Web Services EC2 cloud. What this means is that virtual machines and virtual compute clusters that you run within the EC2 cloud can mount the modENCODE data set in whole or in part. Your software can run analyses against the data files directly without experiencing the long waits and logistics associated with copying the datasets over to your local hardware. You may also view the data using GBrowse, Dataset Search, or download the data via FTP, as well as download pre-release datasets.
