An integrated software system for storing, managing, analyzing, and querying biological pathways at different levels of genetic, molecular, biochemical and organismal detail. The system contains a pathways database and associated tools to store, compare, query, and visualize metabolic pathways. The aim is to develop an integrated database and the associated tools to support computational analysis and visualization of biochemical pathways. At the computational level, PathCase allows users to visualize pathways in multiple abstraction levels, and to pose predetermined and ad hoc queries using a graphical user interface. Pathways are represented as graphs, and implemented as a relational database. The available functional annotations include the identity of the substrate(s), product(s), cofactors, activators, inhibitors, enzymes or other processing molecules, GO-categories of enzymes (as well as GO hierarchy visualizations two-way-linked to PathCase enzymes), EC number information and the associated links, and synonyms and encoding genes of gene products.

http://www.plantgdb.org/AtGDB/

Database providing a sequence-centered genome view for Arabidopsis thaliana, with a narrow focus on gene structure annotation. The current genome assembly displayed at AtGDB is version TAIR9. Annotated gene models are TAIR10. They have mapped the complete set of 176,915 publicly available Arabidopsis EST sequences onto the Arabidopsis genome using GeneSeqer, a spliced alignment program incorporating sequence similarity and splice site scoring. About 96% of the available ESTs could be properly aligned with a genomic locus, with the remaining ESTs deriving from organelle genomes and non-Arabidopsis sources or displaying insufficient sequence quality for alignment. The mapping provides verified sets of EST clusters for evaluation of EST clustering programs. Analysis of the spliced alignments suggests corrections to current gene structure annotation and provides examples of alternative and non-canonical pre-mRNA splicing.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on June 10, 2016. A consortium that created universal descriptors to describe functionally similar gene products and their attributes across all organisms. In 2004, the PAMGO interest group joined the GO consortium to extend the GO to include terms describing various processes related to microbe-host interactions. The organization uses a controlled vocabulary to set a process in place to describe plant associated microbes and their interactions with their plant-hosts. These higher order terms can describe gene products of all types of symbionts (e.g. parasites, commensals, and mutualists), including prokaryotes and eukaryotes that associate with plant or animal hosts. This initiative is a multi-institutional collaborative effort to pool information and research in: the bacteria Dickeya dadantii, Pseudomonas syringae pv tomato and Agrobacterium tumefaciens, the fungus Magnaporthe grisea, the oomycetes Phytophthora sojae and Phytophthora ramorum, and the nematode Meloidogyne hapla.

http://www.cs.utah.edu/~miriah/pathline/Overview.html

Software visualization tool for comparative functional genomics that supports analysis of three types of biological data at once: functional data such as gene activity measurements; pathway data that presents a series of reactions within a cellular process; and phylogenetic data describing ancestral relationships between species. The design of Pathline includes two new visual encoding techniques. The first is an encoding of a linearized metabolic pathway representation that provides appropriate topological information and supports the comparison of quantitative data along the pathway. The second is a curvemap, a matrix layout of temporal expression data for enhanced perception of trends in gene and cell activity levels across multiple species.

A versatile 1D, 2D and 3D data viewer geared for cross-platform visualization of stereotactic brain data. It is a 3-D viewer that allows volumetric data display and manipulation of axial, sagittal and coronal views. It reads Analyze, Raw-binary and NetCDF volumetric data, as well as, Multi-Contour Files (MCF), LWO/LWS surfaces, atlas hierarchical brain-region labelings ( Brain Trees). It is a portable Java-based software, which only requires a Java interpreter and a 64 MB of RAM memory to run on any computer architecture. LONI_Viz allows the user to interactively overlay and browse through several data volumes, zoom in and out in the axial, sagittal and coronal views, and reports the intensities and the stereo-tactic voxel and world coordinates of the data. Expert users can use LONI_Viz to delineate structures of interest, e.g., sulcal curves, on the 3 cardinal projections of the data. These curves then may be use to reconstruct surfaces representing the topological boundaries of cortical and sub-cortical regions of interest. The 3D features of the package include a SurfaceViewer and a full real-time VolumeRenderer. These allow the user to view the relative positions of different anatomical or functional regions which are not co-planar in any of the axial, sagittal or coronal 2D projection planes. The interactive part of LONI_Viz features a region drawing module used for manual delineation of regions of interest. A series of 2D contours describing the boundary of a region in projection planes (axial, sagittal or coronal) could be used to reconstruct the surface-representation of the 3D outer shell of the region. The latter could then be resliced in directions complementary to the drawing-direction and these complementary contours could be loaded in all tree cardinal views. In addition the surface object could be displayed using the SurfaceViewer. A pre-loading data crop and sub-sampling module allows the user to load and view practically data of any size. This is especially important when viewing cryotome, histological or stained data-sets which may reach 1GB (109 bytes) in size. The user could overlay several pre-registered volumes, change intensity colors and ranges and the inter-volume opacities to visually inspect similarities and differences between the different subjects/modalities. Several image-processing aids provide histogram plotting, image-smoothing, etc. Specific Features: * Region description DataBase * Moleculo-genetic database * Brain anatomical data viewer * BrainMapper tool * Surface (LightWave objects/scenes) and Volume rendering tools * Interactive Contour Drawing tool Implementation Issues: * Applet vs. Application - the software is available as both an applet and a standalone application. The former could be used to browse data from within the LONI database, however, it imposes restrictions on file-size, Internet connection and network-bandwidth and client/server file access. The later requires a local install and configuration of the LONI_Viz software * Extendable object-oriented code (Java), computer architecture independent * Complete online software documentation is available at http://www.loni.ucla.edu/LONI_Viz and a Java-Class documentation is available at http://www.loni.ucla.edu/~dinov/LONI_Vis.dir/doc/LONI_Viz_Java_Docs.html
