This resource gives information about the U.S. Human Genome Project, which was was a 13-year effort to to discover all the estimated 20,000-25,000 human genes and make them accessible for further biological study. The primary project goals were to: - identify all the approximately 20,000-25,000 genes in human DNA, - determine the sequences of the 3 billion chemical base pairs that make up human DNA, - store this information in databases, - improve tools for data analysis, - transfer related technologies to the private sector, and - address the ethical, legal, and social issues (ELSI) that may arise from the project. To help achieve these goals, researchers also studied the genetic makeup of several nonhuman organisms. These include the common human gut bacterium Escherichia coli, the fruit fly, and the laboratory mouse. These parallel studies helped to develop technology and interpret human gene function. Sponsors: The DOE Human Genome Program and the NIH National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) together sponsored the U.S. Human Genome Project.

DOLOP is an exclusive knowledge base for bacterial lipoproteins by processing information from 510 entries to provide a list of 199 distinct lipoproteins with relevant links to molecular details. Features include functional classification, predictive algorithm for query sequences, primary sequence analysis and lists of predicted lipoproteins from 43 completed bacterial genomes along with interactive information exchange facility. This website along will have additional information on the biosynthetic pathway, supplementary material and other related figures. DOLOP also contains information and links to molecular details for about 278 distinct lipoproteins and predicted lipoproteins from 234 completely sequenced bacterial genomes. Additionally, the website features a tool that applies a predictive algorithm to identify the presence or absence of the lipoprotein signal sequence in a user-given sequence. The experimentally verified lipoproteins have been classified into different functional classes and more importantly functional domain assignments using hidden Markov models from the SUPERFAMILY database that have been provided for the predicted lipoproteins. Other features include: primary sequence analysis, signal sequence analysis, and search facility and information exchange facility to allow researchers to exchange results on newly characterized lipoproteins.

http://skatebase.org/

Portal supporting the North East Bioinformatics Collaborative''s project to sequence the genome of the Little Skate. Provided is a clearinghouse for Little Skate Genome Project and other publicly available Skate and Ray (Batoidea) genome data, and tools for data visualization and analysis. Little Skate Genome Project The little skate (Leucoraja erinacea) is a chondrichthyan (cartilaginous) fish native to the east coast of North America. Elasmobranchs (Skates, Rays, and Sharks) exhibit many fundamental vertebrate characteristics, including a neural crest, jaws and teeth, an adaptive immune system, and a pressurized circulatory system. These characteristics have been exploited to promote understanding about human physiology, immunology, stem cell biology, toxicology, neurobiology and regeneration. The development of standardized experimental protocols in elasmobranchs such as L. erinacea and the spiny dogfish shark (Squalus acanthias) has further positioned these organisms as important biomedical and developmental models. Despite this distinction, the only reported chondrichthyan genome is the low coverage (1.4x) draft genome of the elephant shark (Callorhinchus milii). To close the evolutionary gaps in available elasmobranch genome sequence data, and generate critical genomic resources for future biomedical study, the genome of L. erinacea is being sequenced by the North East Bioinformatics Collaborative (NEBC). As close evolutionary relatives, the little skate sequence will facilitate studies that employ dogfish shark and other elasmobranchs as model organisms. Skate tools include the SkateBLAST and the Skate Genome Browsers: Little Skate Mitochondrion, Thorny Skate Mitochondrion, and Ocellate Spot Skate Mitochondrion.

The Database of Immunoglobulins and Integrated Tools (DIG IT) is an integrated resource storing sequences of annotated immunoglobulin variable domains of NCBI database and enriched with tools for searching and analyzing them. It contains 145759 heavy chain sequences and 71404 light chain sequences (47168 kappa type and 24236 lambda type) with assigned canonical structures for the hypervariable loops and the data on the type of antigen as well as the pairing information of immunoglobulin heavy and light chains (9672 total pairs). The user can input the immunoglobulin variable domain sequence (amino acid or nucleotide) of interest (heavy chain variable domain sequence; light chain variable domain sequence or both) to retrieve the closest sequences (sorted according to e-value) with complete annotation. The user can also directly query the database by antigen type, canonical structure, germline family in accordance to the requirements.

http://edwardslab.bmcb.georgetown.edu/ws/peptideMapper/

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.
