The typical result of a microarray experiment is a list of tens or hundreds of genes found to be differentially regulated in the condition under study. Independently of the methods used to select these genes, the common task faced by any researcher is to translate these lists of genes into a better understanding of the biological phenomena involved. Currently, this is done through a tedious combination of searches through the literature and a number of public databases. We developed Onto-Express (OE) as a novel tool able to automatically translate such lists of differentially regulated genes into functional profiles characterizing the impact of the condition studied. OE constructs functional profiles (using Gene Ontology terms) for the following categories: biochemical function, biological process, cellular role, cellular component, molecular function and chromosome location. Statistical significance values are calculated for each category. We demonstrated the validity and the utility of this comprehensive global analysis of gene function by analyzing two breast cancer data sets from two separate laboratories. OE was able to identify correctly all biological processes postulated by the original authors, as well as discover novel relevant mechanisms (Draghici et.al, Genomics, 81(2), 2003). Other results obtained with Onto-Express can be found in Khatri et.al., Genomics. 79(2), 2002. Custom level of abstraction of the Gene Ontology. User account required. Platform: Online tool

MAPPFinder is an accessory program for GenMAPP. This program allows users to query any existing GenMAPP Expression Dataset Criterion against GO gene associations and GenMAPP MAPPs (microarray pathway profiles). The resulting analysis provides the user with results that can be viewed directly upon the Gene Ontology hierarchy and within GenMAPP, by selecting terms or MAPPs of interest.

http://genenet2.uthsc.edu/geneinfoviz/search.php

GeneInfoViz is a web based tool for batch retrieval of gene function information, visualization of GO structure and construction of gene relation networks. It takes a input list of genes in the form of LocusLink ID, UniGeneID, gene symbol, or accession number and returns their functional genomic information. Based on the GO annotations of the given genes, GeneInfoViz allows users to visualize these genes in the DAG structure of GO, and construct a gene relation network at a selected level of the DAG.

http://www.mgc.ac.cn/TrED/

TrED is a database of Trichophyton rubrum, a fungus. The database contains strains, cDNA libraries, pathways, and microarray data as well as a directed set of literature. Trichophyton rubrum is the most common dermatophyte species and the most frequent cause of fungal skin infections in humans worldwide. It''''s a major concern because feet and nail infections caused by this organism is extremely difficult to cure. A large set of expression data including expressed sequence tags (ESTs) and transcriptional profiles of this important fungal pathogen are now available. Careful analysis of these data can give valuable information about potential virulence factors, antigens and novel metabolic pathways. We intend to create an integrated database TrED to facilitate the study of dermatophytes, and enhance the development of effective diagnostic and treatment strategies. All publicly available ESTs and expression profiles of T. rubrum during conidial germination in time-course experiments and challenged with antifungal agents are deposited in the database. In addition, comparative genomics hybridization results of 22 dermatophytic fungi strains from three genera, Trichophyton, Microsporum and Epidermophyton, are also included. ESTs are clustered and assembled to elongate the sequence length and abate redundancy. TrED provides functional analysis based on GenBank, Pfam, and KOG databases, along with KEGG pathway and GO vocabulary. It is integrated with a suite of custom web-based tools that facilitate querying and retrieving various EST properties, visualization and comparison of transcriptional profiles, and sequence-similarity searching by BLAST. TrED is built upon a relational database, with a web interface offering analytic functions, to provide integrated access to various expression data of T. rubrum and comparative results of dermatophytes. It is devoted to be a comprehensive resource and platform to assist functional genomic studies in dermatophytes.

http://www.cmhd.ca/genetrap/

Generate gene trap insertions using mutagenic polyA trap vectors, followed by sequence tagging to develop a library of mutagenized ES cells freely available to the scientific community. This library is searchable by sequence or key word searches including gene name or symbol, chromosome location, or Gene Ontology (GO) terms. In addition,they offer a custom email alert service in which researchers are able to submit search criteria. Researchers will receive automated e-mail notification of matching gene trap clones as they are entered into the library and database. The resource features the use of complementary second and third generation polyA trap vectors developed by the Stanford lab and the laboratory of Professor Yasumasa Ishida of the Nara Institute of Science and Technology (NAIST) in Japan to mutagenize murine embryonic stem (ES) cells. CMHD gene trap clones are distributed by the Canadian Mouse Mutant Repository(CMMR). Information about ordering, services, and pricing can be found on their web site (http://www.cmmr.ca/services/index.html)., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on January 15,2026.

http://gemdock.life.nctu.edu.tw/3D-Interologs

Database of physical protein-protein interactions across multiple genomes. Based on 3D-domain interolog mapping and a scoring function, protein-protein interactions are inferred by using three-dimensional (3D) structure heterodimers to search the UniProt database. For a query protein, the database utilizes BLAST to identify homologous proteins and the interacting partners from multiple species. Based on the scoring function and structure complexes, it provides the statistic significances, the interacting models (e.g. hydrogen bonds and conserved amino acids), and functional annotations of interacting partners of a query protein. The identification of orthologous proteins of multiple species allows the study of protein-protein evolution, protein functions, and cross-referencing of proteins.

http://www.bioperl.org

BioPerl is a community effort to produce Perl code which is useful in biology. This toolkit of perl modules is useful in building bioinformatics solutions in Perl. It is built in an object-oriented manner so that many modules depend on each other to achieve a task. The collection of modules in the bioperl-live repository consist of the core of the functionality of bioperl. Additionally auxiliary modules for creating graphical interfaces (bioperl-gui), persistent storage in RDMBS (bioperl-db), running and parsing the results from hundreds of bioinformatics applications (Run package), software to automate bioinformatic analyses (bioperl-pipeline) are all available as Git modules in our repository. The BioPerl toolkit provides a library of hundreds of routines for processing sequence, annotation, alignment, and sequence analysis reports. It often serves as a bridge between different computational biology applications assisting the user to construct analysis pipelines. This chapter illustrates how BioPerl facilitates tasks such as writing scripts summarizing information from BLAST reports or extracting key annotation details from a GenBank sequence record. BioPerl includes modules written by Sohel Merchant of the GO Consortium for parsing and manipulating OBO ontologies. Platform: Windows compatible, Mac OS X compatible, Linux compatible, Unix compatible
