THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented August 22, 2016. A multi-country collaboration among scientists and funding agencies to develop a public resource where genetic similarities and differences in human beings are identified and catalogued. Using this information, researchers will be able to find genes that affect health, disease, and individual responses to medications and environmental factors. All of the information generated by the Project will be released into the public domain. Their goal is to compare the genetic sequences of different individuals to identify chromosomal regions where genetic variants are shared. Public and private organizations in six countries are participating in the International HapMap Project. Data generated by the Project can be downloaded with minimal constraints. HapMap project related data, software, and documentation include: bulk data on genotypes, frequencies, LD data, phasing data, allocated SNPs, recombination rates and hotspots, SNP assays, Perlegen amplicons, raw data, inferred genotypes, and mitochondrial and chrY haplogroups; Generic Genome Browser software; protocols and information on assay design, genotyping and other protocols used in the project; and documentation of samples/individuals and the XML format used in the project.

The PeptideMapper Web-Service provides alignments of peptide sequence alignments to proteins, mRNA, EST, and HTC sequences from Genbank, RefSeq, UniProt, IPI, VEGA, EMBL, and HInvDb. This mapping infrastructure is supported, in part, by the compressed peptide sequence database infrastructure (Edwards, 2007) which enables a fast, suffix-tree based mapping of peptide sequences to gene identifiers and a gene-focused detailed mapping of peptide sequences to source sequence evidence. The PeptideMapper Web-Service can be used interactively or as a web-service using either HTTP or SOAP requests. Results of HTTP requests can be returned in a variety of formats, including XML, JSON, CSV, TSV, or XLS, and in some cases, GFF or BED; results of SOAP requests are returned as SOAP responses. The PeptideMapper Web-Service maps at most 20 peptides with length between 5 and 30 amino-acids in each request. The number of alignments returned, per peptide, gene, and sequence type, is set to 10 by default. The default can be changed on the interactive alignments search form or by using the max web-service parameter.

Multidisciplinary collaboration undertaking genome-wide mutagenesis to functionally annotate the mouse genome and develop new mouse models relevant to human disease. To achieve these goals two major research platforms are carried out: Gene trapping and ENU Mutagenesis. A new challenge is faced in the post-genomic era - the assignment of biological function to the human genome sequence and projecting that assignment into understanding of human health and disease. The Centre for Modeling Human Disease (CMHD) was established to take part in the worldwide initiative to address these challenges. At the CMHD, two fundamentally different, yet complimentary methods are employed to generate mutant mouse models of human disease: chemical mutagenesis by ethylnitrosourea (ENU), and gene trap insertional mutagenesis. The Centre contributes its resources to similar international efforts and is the first of its kind in Canada. The Center is also actively developing other mutagenic strategies including pharmacologic and genetic modifier screens to dissect disease pathways, and novel mutagenic techniques using embryonic stem cells.

http://athina.biol.uoa.gr/bioinformatics/PRED-GPCR/

A prediction tool for GPCR Family Classification from sequence alone based on a probabilistic method that uses family-specific profile Hidden Markov Models. The PRED-GPCR system is based on a probabilistic method that uses family specific profile HMMs in order to determine to which GPCR family a query sequence belongs or resembles. The approach proposed in this method exploits the descriptive power of profile HMMs along with an exhaustive discrimination assessment method to select only highly selective and sensitive profiles, for each family. The collection of these profiles constitutes a signature library, which is scanned, for significant matches with a given query sequence. The output report for a query sequence consists of two sections: * A ranked list of the profile HMM matches, below the selected individual motif E-value cutoff, along with their corresponding family. * A ranked list of the Combined P-values, E-values as well as the number of profiles matched for each family. To cross-evaluate your results you can browse through Swiss-Prot, Trembl, Pfam and Prosite family related entries.

http://db-mml.sjtu.edu.cn/ICEberg/

ICEberg is an integrated database that provides comprehensive information about integrative and conjugative elements (ICEs) found in bacteria. ICEs are conjugative self-transmissible elements that can integrate into and excise from a host chromosome. An ICE contains three typical modules, integration and excision, conjugation, and regulation modules, that collectively promote vertical inheritance and periodic lateral gene flow. Many ICEs carry likely virulence determinants, antibiotic-resistant factors and/or genes coding for other beneficial traits. ICEberg offers a unique, highly organized, readily explorable archive of both predicted and experimentally supported ICE-relevant data. It currently contains details of 428 ICEs found in representatives of 124 bacterial species, and a collection of >400 directly related references. A broad range of similarity search, sequence alignment, genome context browser, phylogenetic and other functional analysis tools are readily accessible via ICEberg. ICEberg will facilitate efficient, multidisciplinary and innovative exploration of bacterial ICEs and be of particular interest to researchers in the broad fields of prokaryotic evolution, pathogenesis, biotechnology and metabolism. The ICEberg database will be maintained, updated and improved regularly to ensure its ongoing maximum utility to the research community.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented May 10, 2017. A pilot effort that has developed a centralized, web-based biospecimen locator that presents biospecimens collected and stored at participating Arizona hospitals and biospecimen banks, which are available for acquisition and use by researchers. Researchers may use this site to browse, search and request biospecimens to use in qualified studies. The development of the ABL was guided by the Arizona Biospecimen Consortium (ABC), a consortium of hospitals and medical centers in the Phoenix area, and is now being piloted by this Consortium under the direction of ABRC. You may browse by type (cells, fluid, molecular, tissue) or disease. Common data elements decided by the ABC Standards Committee, based on data elements on the National Cancer Institute''s (NCI''s) Common Biorepository Model (CBM), are displayed. These describe the minimum set of data elements that the NCI determined were most important for a researcher to see about a biospecimen. The ABL currently does not display information on whether or not clinical data is available to accompany the biospecimens. However, a requester has the ability to solicit clinical data in the request. Once a request is approved, the biospecimen provider will contact the requester to discuss the request (and the requester''s questions) before finalizing the invoice and shipment. The ABL is available to the public to browse. In order to request biospecimens from the ABL, the researcher will be required to submit the requested required information. Upon submission of the information, shipment of the requested biospecimen(s) will be dependent on the scientific and institutional review approval. Account required. Registration is open to everyone., documented September 6, 2016. Set of orthogonal controlled vocabularies that unifies gene expression data by facilitating a link between the genome sequence and expression phenotype information. The system associates labelled target cDNAs for microarray experiments, or cDNA libraries and their associated transcripts with controlled terms in a set of hierarchical vocabularies. eVOC consists of four orthogonal controlled vocabularies suitable for describing the domains of human gene expression data including Anatomical System, Cell Type, Pathology and Developmental Stage. The four core eVOC ontologies provide an appropriate set of detailed human terms that describe the sample source of human experimental material such as cDNA and SAGE libraries. These expression terms are linked to libraries and transcripts allowing the assessment of tissue expression profiles, differential gene expression levels and the physical distribution of expression across the genome. Analysis is currently possible using EST and SAGE data, with microarray data being incorporated. The eVOC data is increasingly being accepted as a standard for describing gene expression and eVOC ontologies are integrated with the Ensembl EnsMart database, the Alternate Transcript Diversity Project and the UniProt Knowledgebase. Several groups are currently working to provide shared development of this resource such that it is of maximum use in unifying transcript expression information.
