http://sfld.rbvi.ucsf.edu/

A database of hierarchical classification of enzymes that relates specific sequence-structure features to specific chemical capabilities. The SFLD classifies evolutionarily related enzymes according to shared chemical functions and maps these shared functions to conserved active site features. The classification is hierarchical, where broader levels encompass more distantly related proteins with fewer shared features. It thus serves as the analysis and archive site for superfamilies targeted by the Enzyme Function Initiative, and is developed by the Babbitt Laboratory in collaboration with the UCSF Resource for Biocomputing, Visualization, and Informatics. The resource also provides a collection of tools and data for investigating sequence-structure-function relationships and hypothesizing function.

http://net.icgeb.org/benchmark/

It was created in order to create standard datasets on which the performance of machine learning methods can be compared. The collection contains datasets of sequences and structures, each subdivided into positive/negative training/test sets. Such a subdivision is called a classification task. Typical tasks include the classification of structural domains in the SCOP and CATH databases based on their sequences, as fell as various functional and taxonomic classification tasks. Running a performance evaluation test on an entire database can include many different classification tasks. These ensembles of classification tasks are encoded in a simple matrix format - called the cast matrix or membership table - that specifies the role of each sequence (or structure) in the different calculations. Each column of this matrix is a subdivision of the objects (rows) into positive/negative training/test sets. Typically, a database record contains such an ensemble of classification tasks, encoded in a single cast matrix. In addition, there is a collection of distance matrices that contain an all vs. all comparison of the datasets using methods as BLAST, Smith-Waterman, 3D-comparisons etc. Evaluation of a method on a given database consists of calculating a performance measure such as a receiver operating curve (ROC) AUC value. Results of evaluation are deposited along with the data, each dataset is evaluated at least by one classification method, such as 1NN (nearest neighbour) or SVM (support vector machines), ANN (artificial neural networks), RF (random forests) etc.. There are small datasets meant for program developers, as well as downloadable programs for various classification algorithms.

http://genome.jgi.doe.gov/programs/plants/index.jsf

The goal of the DOE JGI Plant Genome Program is to shed light on the fundamental biology of photosynthesis and transduction of solar to chemical energy. Other areas of interest include characterizing: * Ecosystems and the role of terrestrial plants and oceanic phytoplankton-in carbon sequestration. * The role of plants in coping with toxic pollutants in soils by hyper-accumulation and detoxification. * Feedstocks for biofuels, e.g., biodiesel from soybean; cellulosic ethanol from perennial grasses. * The ability to respond to environmental change (e.g., loss of diversity from monoculture produces vulnerabilities; nitrogen fixing nodules in legumes reduce fertilizer need). * The generation of useful secondary metabolites (produced largely for disease resistance)- for positive/negative control in agriculture, with attendant influence on global carbon cycle. The Plant Genome Program accomplishes the above through the following activities: # Sequence. Produce genome sequences of key plant (and algal) species to accelerate biofuel development and understand response to climate change. # Function. Develop datasets (and synthetic biology tools) to elucidate functional elements in plant genomes, with special focus on handful of flagship genomes. # Variation. Characterize natural genomic variation in plants (and their associated microbiomes), and relate to biofuel sustainability and adaptation to climate change. # Integration. Provide a centralized hub for the retrieval and deep integrated analysis of plant genome datasets.

http://operons.ibt.unam.mx/OperonPredictor/

The Prokaryotic Operon DataBase (ProOpDB) constitutes one of the most precise and complete repository of operon predictions in our days. Using our novel and highly accurate operon algorithm, we have predicted the operon structures of more than 1,200 prokaryotic genomes. ProOpDB offers diverse alternatives by which a set of operon predictions can be retrieved including: i) organism name, ii) metabolic pathways, as defined by the KEGG database, iii) gene orthology, as defined by the COG database, iv) conserved protein motifs, as defined by the Pfam database, v) reference gene, vi) reference operon, among others. In order to limit the operon output to non-redundant organisms, ProOpDB offers an efficient protocol to select the more representative organisms based on a precompiled phylogenetic distances matrix. In addition, the ProOpDB operon predictions are used directly as the input data of our Gene Context Tool (GeConT) to visualize their genomic context and retrieve the sequence of their corresponding 5�� regulatory regions, as well as the nucleotide or amino acid sequences of their genes. The prediction algorithm The algorithm is a multilayer perceptron neural network (MLP) classifier, that used as input the intergenic distances of contiguous genes and the functional relationship scores of the STRING database between the different groups of orthologous proteins, as defined in the COG database. Nevertheless, the operon prediction of our method is not restricted to only those genes with a COG assignation, since we successfully defined new groups of orthologous genes and obtained, by extrapolation, a set of equivalent STRING-like scores based on conserved gene pairs on different genomes. Since the STRING functional relationships scores are determined in an un-bias manner and efficiently integrates a large amount of information coming from different sources and kind of evidences, the prediction made by our MLP are considerably less influenced by the bias imposed in the training procedure using one specific organism.
