Freely available database focused on interactions established by extracellular proteins and polysaccharides, taking into account the multimeric nature of the extracellular proteins (e.g. collagens, laminins and thrombospondins are multimers). MatrixDB is an active member of the International Molecular Exchange (IMEx) consortium and has adopted the PSI-MI standards for annotating and exchanging interaction data. It includes interaction data extracted from the literature by manual curation, and offers access to relevant data involving extracellular proteins provided by the IMEx partner databases through the PSICQUIC webservice, as well as data from the Human Protein Reference Database. The database reports mammalian protein-protein and protein-carbohydrate interactions involving extracellular molecules. Interactions with lipids and cations are also reported. MatrixDB is focused on mammalian interactions, but aims to integrate interaction datasets of model organisms when available. MatrixDB provides direct links to databases recapitulating mutations in genes encoding extracellular proteins, to UniGene and to the Human Protein Atlas that shows expression and localization of proteins in a large variety of normal human tissues and cells. MatrixDB allows researchers to perform customized queries and to build tissue- and disease-specific interaction networks that can be visualized and analyzed with Cytoscape or Medusa. Statistics (2013): 2283 extracellular matrix interactions including 2095 protein-protein and 169 protein-glycosaminoglycan interactions.

http://mousecyc.jax.org/

A manually curated database of both known and predicted metabolic pathways for the laboratory mouse. It has been integrated with genetic and genomic data for the laboratory mouse available from the Mouse Genome Informatics database and with pathway data from other organisms, including human. The database records for 1,060 genes in Mouse Genome Informatics (MGI) are linked directly to 294 pathways with 1,790 compounds and 1,122 enzymatic reactions in MouseCyc. (Aug. 2013) BLAST and other tools are available. The initial focus for the development of MouseCyc is on metabolism and includes such cell level processes as biosynthesis, degradation, energy production, and detoxification. MouseCyc differs from existing pathway databases and software tools because of the extent to which the pathway information in MouseCyc is integrated with the wealth of biological knowledge for the laboratory mouse that is available from the Mouse Genome Informatics (MGI) database.

Program consisting of three Task Forces and one Working Group to promote data exchange and integration in the neurosciences by developing terminology standards and formal ontologies for neural structures. Closely linked to the Program on Digital Brain Atlasing, the Program aims to establish a structured lexicon for the translation and definition of terms describing neural structures at multiple levels of granularity. The three Task Forces and one Working Group involved in the PONS effort: * Structural lexicon * Neuron registry * Representation and deployment * KnowledgeSpace Working Group Structural lexicon, Neuron registry, Representation and deployment, and KnowledgeSpace Working Group.

http://targetscan.org/

Web tool to predict biological targets of miRNAs by searching for presence of conserved 8mer, 7mer and 6mer sites that match seed region of each miRNA. Nonconserved sites are also predicted and sites with mismatches in seed region that are compensated by conserved 3' pairing. Used to search for predicted microRNA targets in mammals.

The Hannon laboratory comprises a broad spectrum of programs in small RNA biology, mammalian genetics and genomics. We study RNAi and related pathways in a wide variety of organisms to extract common themes that define both the mechanisms by which small RNAs act and the biological processes which they impact. Currently, we focus on microRNAs, endogenous siRNAs and piRNAs and their roles in gene regulation, cancer biology, stem cell biology and in defense of the genome against transposons. In collaboration with Steve Elledge (Harvard) and Scott Lowe (CSHL), we develop genome-wide shRNA tools for RNAi-based genetics in mammalian cells, and we are now producing similar collections of artificial microRNAs for Arabidopsis with Detlef Weigel (MPI), Dick McCombie (CSHL) and Rob Martienssen (CSHL) as part of the 2010 project (see 2010.cshl.edu). Our genomic efforts include the application of RNAi-based genetic screens to cancer biology and stem cells. We also make heavy use of next generation sequencing methodologies for probing small RNA populations, in part as a member of the ENCODE consortium (with Tom Gingeras, CSHL). Finally, we develop (with Dick McCombie) and apply focal re-sequencing methods for identifying disease relevant mutations, for probing the epigenetic landscape and for the study of human evolution.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on October 28,2025. A chicken EST Web site has been created to provide access to the data, and a set of unique sequences has been deposited with GenBank. This site contains over 40,000 EST sequences from the chicken cDNA libraries in the University of Delaware collection. Users can perform keyword searches, BLAST nucleotide sequences against our database, view clusters of similar or overlapping clones, and order clones. The cDNA and gene sequences of many mammalian cytokines and their receptors are known. However, corresponding information on avian cytokines is limited due to the lack of cross-species activity at the functional level or strong homology at the molecular level. To improve the efficiency of identifying cytokines and novel chicken genes, a directionally cloned cDNA library from T-cell-enriched activated chicken splenocytes was constructed, and the partial sequence of 5251 clones was obtained. Sequence clustering indicates that 2357 (42%) of the clones are present as a single copy, and 2961 are distinct clones, demonstrating the high level of complexity of this library. Comparisons of the sequence data with known DNA sequences in GenBank indicate that approximately 25% of the clones match known chicken genes, 39% have similarity to known genes in other species, and 11% had no match to any sequence in the database. Several previously uncharacterized chicken cytokines and their receptors were present in our library. This collection provides a useful database for cataloging genes expressed in T cells and a valuable resource for future investigations of gene expression in avian immunology. Therefore, the Chick EST database was created.

Tool that performs annotation based on GO and pathway terms for anonymous cDNA or protein sequences. It uses the species independent GO structure and vocabulary together with a series of protein databases collected from various sites, to perform a detailed GO annotation by sequence similarity searches. The sensitivity and the reference protein sets can be selected by the user. GOblet runs automatically and is available as a public service on our web server. GOblet expects query sequences to be in FASTA-Format (with header-lines). Protein and nucleotide sequences are accepted. Total size of all sequences submitted per request should not be larger than 50kb currently. For security reasons: Larger post's will be rejected. Due to limited capacities the queries may be processed in batches depending on the server load. The output of the BLAST job is filtered automatically and the relevant hits are displayed. In addition, the respective GO-terms are shown together with the complete GO-hierarchy of parent terms., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 16,2025.
