SpBase is designed to present the results of the genome sequencing project for the purple sea urchin. The sequences and annotations emerging from this effort are organized in a database that provides the research community access to those data not normally presented through National Center for Biotechnology Information and other large databases. Additionally, the unique information on that links gene identities and sequences to the plate and well location to the library filters from the Sea Urchin genome Resource will also be presented. The software used to organize and present the sea urchin genome comes from GMOD, a collection of open source software tools for creating and managing genome-scale biological databases. That sea urchins eggs and embryos have long remained a popular research subject for cell and developmental biologists is one rationale for sequencing the genome. In addition, studies of embryonic development in the California Purple Sea Urchin, Strongylocentrotus purpuratus , have paralleled the emergence of molecular techniques ranging from the characterization of genomic repeat sequences in the 1970''s to the elucidation of gene regulatory networks in recent times. The parent of this site, SUGP, was meant to provide a focal point for the exchange of genomic information as the genome of the Purple sea urchin was being sequenced. Over these past years it has served as a repository for small sequencing projects and a source of sequence information useful for gene discovery projects. Here one could find information on macro-array libraries of cDNAs from the purple sea urchin and genomic DNA from several species. In addition, a Sequence Tag Connector (STC) collection has been assembled from 5% of the genome sequence and a very extensive repeat sequence catalog prepared. All of the sequence data that we maintained at SUGP was incorporated into the new SPBase. Of course, it is all in public sequence databases such as the National Center for Biological Information as well. Some additional sequence information is available at the Resource Center of the German Human Genome Project. With the publication of The Genome of the Sea Urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus by The Sea Urchin Genome Sequencing Consortium a link to the first 9941 gene annotations are now publicly available. The effort to sequence the whole purple sea urchin genome was a cooperative one that included contributions from the Sea Urchin Genome Facility here at the Center for Computational Regulatory Genomics, Beckman Institute, Caltech, and support from the Human Genome Research Institute of the National Institutes of Health. The sequencing was done at the Baylor College of Medicine, Human Genome Sequencing Center, Houston, Texas. Funding was approved based on an initiative submitted by the Sea Urchin Genome Advisory Committee.

A database of human, chimpanzee, mouse, and rat proteases and protease inhibitors, as well as as the growing number of hereditary diseases caused by mutations in protease genes. Analysis of the human and mouse genomes has allowed us to annotate 581 human, 580 chimpanzee, 667 mouse, and 655 rat protease genes. Proteases are classified in five different classes according to their mechanism of catalysis. Proteases are a diverse and important group of enzymes representing >2% of the human, chimpanzee, mouse and rat genomes. This group of enzymes is implicated in numerous physiological processes. The importance of proteases is illustrated by the existence of 99 different hereditary diseases due to mutations in protease genes. Furthermore, proteases have been implicated in multiple human pathologies, including vascular diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, neurodegenerative processes, and cancer. During the last ten years, our laboratory has identified and characterized more than 60 human protease genes. Due to the importance of proteolytic enzymes in human physiology and pathology, we have recently introduced the concept of Degradome, as the complete repertoire of proteases expressed by a tissue or organism. Thanks to the recent completion of the human, chimpanzee, mouse, and rat genome sequencing projects, we were able to analyze and compare for the first time the complete protease repertoire in those mammalian organisms, as well as the complement of protease inhibitor genes.

The Stanley Online Genomics Database uses samples from the Stanley Medical Research Institute (SMRI) Brain Bank. These samples were processed and run on gene expression arrays by a variety of researchers in collaboration with the SMRI. These researchers have performed analyses on their respective studies using a range of analytic approaches. All of the genomic data have been aggregated in this online database, and a consistent set of analyses have been applied to each study. Additionally, a comprehensive set of cross-study analyses have been performed. A thorough collection of gene expression summaries are provided, inclusive of patient demographics, disease subclasses, regulated biological pathways, and functional classifications. Raw data is also available to download. The database is derived from two sets of brain samples, the Stanley Array collection and the Stanley Consortium collection. The Stanley Array collection contains 105 patients, and the Stanley Consortium collection contains 60 patients. Multiple genomic studies have been conducted using these brain samples. From these studies, twelve were selected for inclusion in the database on the basis of number of patients studied, genomic platform used, and data quality. The Consortium collection studies have fewer patients but more diversity in brain regions and array platforms, while the Array collection studies are more homogenous. There are tradeoffs, the Consortium results will be more variable, but findings may be more broadly representative. The collections contain brain samples from subjects in four main groups: Bipolar Schizophrenia, Depression, and Controls Brain regions used in the studies include: Broadman Area 6, Broadman Area 8/9, Broadman Area 10, Broadman Area 46, Cerebellum The 12 studies encompass a range of microarray platforms: Affymetrix HG-U95Av2, Affymetrix HG-U133A, Affymetrix HG-U133 2.0+, Codelink Human 20K, Agilent Human I, Custom cDNA Publications based on any of the clinical or genomic data should credit the Stanley Medical Research Institute, as well as any individual SMRI collaborators whose data is being used. Publications which make use of analytic results/methods in the database should additionally cite Dr. Michael Elashoff. Registration is required to access the data.

A curated repository of more than 206000 regulatory associations between transcription factors (TF) and target genes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, based on more than 1300 bibliographic references. It also includes the description of 326 specific DNA binding sites shared among 113 characterized TFs. Further information about each Yeast gene has been extracted from the Saccharomyces Genome Database (SGD). For each gene the associated Gene Ontology (GO) terms and their hierarchy in GO was obtained from the GO consortium. Currently, YEASTRACT maintains a total of 7130 terms from GO. The nucleotide sequences of the promoter and coding regions for Yeast genes were obtained from Regulatory Sequence Analysis Tools (RSAT). All the information in YEASTRACT is updated regularly to match the latest data from SGD, GO consortium, RSA Tools and recent literature on yeast regulatory networks. YEASTRACT includes DISCOVERER, a set of tools that can be used to identify complex motifs found to be over-represented in the promoter regions of co-regulated genes. DISCOVERER is based on the MUSA algorithm. These algorithms take as input a list of genes and identify over-represented motifs, which can then be compared with transcription factor binding sites described in the YEASTRACT database.

http://www.broadinstitute.org/annotation/tetraodon/

This database have been funded by the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) to produce shotgun sequence of the Tetraodon nigriviridis genome. The strategy involves Whole Genome Shotgun (WGS) sequencing, in which sequence from the entire genome is generated. Whole genome shotgun libraries were prepared from Tetraodon genomic DNA obtained from the laboratory of Jean Weissenbach at Genoscope. Additional sequence data of approximately 2.5X coverage of Tetraodon has also been generated by Genoscope in plasmid and BAC end reads. Broad and Genoscope intend to pool their data and generate whole genome assemblies. Tetraodon nigroviridis is a freshwater pufferfish of the order Tetraodontiformes and lives in the rivers and estuaries of Indonesia, Malaysia and India. This species is 20-30 million years distant from Fugu rubripes, a marine pufferfish from the same family. The gene repertoire of T. nigroviridis is very similar to that of other vertebrates. However, its relatively small genome of 385 Mb is eight times more compact than that of human, mostly because intergenic and intronic sequences are reduced in size compared to other vertebrate genomes. These genome characteristics along with the large evolutionary distance between bony fish and mammals make Tetraodon a compact vertebrate reference genome - a powerful tool for comparative genetics and for quick and reliable identification of human genes.

Software application that allows the user to test for association/linkage between disease phenotypes and haplotypes by utilizing family-based controls. The method extends the approach for testing described in Rabinowitz and Laird (2000) to handle multiple tightly linked markers. It is robust to population admixture, yet efficient in the sense that it utilizes data from families where phase cannot be completely resolved in all individuals by using weights, which are estimated from the sample. However, the method remains robust to population stratification and population admixture. The method can handle any type of phenotype, including multiple phenotypes and missing parents, marker data, and/or phase, and provides both bi-allelic and multi-allelic tests. PowerFBAT is a tool for power simulation of association analysis using FBAT with binary outcomes. XWXW is an extension to the Haseman-Elston method for non-parametric linkage test with quantitative traits.
