https://wiki.nci.nih.gov/display/LexEVS/LexGrid

LexGrid (Lexical Grid) provides support for a distributed network of lexical resources such as terminologies and ontologies via standards-based tools, storage formats, and access/update mechanisms. The Lexical Grid Vision is for a distributed network of terminological resources. It is the foundation of the National Center for Biomedical Ontology BioPortal interface and web-services, and can parse OBO format, as well as other formats such as OWL. Currently, there are many terminologies and ontologies in existence. Just about every terminology has its own format, its own set of tools, and its own update mechanisms. The only thing that most of these pieces have in common with each other is their incompatibility. This makes it very hard to use these resources to their full potential. We have designed the Lexical Grid as a way to bridge terminologies and ontologies with a common set of tools, formats and update mechanisms. The Lexical Grid is: * accessible through a set of common APIs * joined through shared indices * online accessible * downloadable * loosely coupled * locally extendable * globally revised * available in web-space on web-time * cross-linked The realization of this vision requires three interlocking components, which are: * Standards - access methods and formats need to be published and openly available * Tools - standards based tools must be readily available * Content - commonly used terminologies have to be available for access and download Platform: Windows compatible, Mac OS X compatible, Linux compatible, Unix compatible

http://protege.stanford.edu

Protege is a free, open-source platform that provides a growing user community with a suite of tools to construct domain models and knowledge-based applications with ontologies. At its core, Protege implements a rich set of knowledge-modeling structures and actions that support the creation, visualization, and manipulation of ontologies in various representation formats. Protege can be customized to provide domain-friendly support for creating knowledge models and entering data. Further, Protege can be extended by way of a plug-in architecture and a Java-based Application Programming Interface (API) for building knowledge-based tools and applications. An ontology describes the concepts and relationships that are important in a particular domain, providing a vocabulary for that domain as well as a computerized specification of the meaning of terms used in the vocabulary. Ontologies range from taxonomies and classifications, database schemas, to fully axiomatized theories. In recent years, ontologies have been adopted in many business and scientific communities as a way to share, reuse and process domain knowledge. Ontologies are now central to many applications such as scientific knowledge portals, information management and integration systems, electronic commerce, and semantic web services. The Protege platform supports two main ways of modeling ontologies: * The Protege-Frames editor enables users to build and populate ontologies that are frame-based, in accordance with the Open Knowledge Base Connectivity protocol (OKBC). In this model, an ontology consists of a set of classes organized in a subsumption hierarchy to represent a domain's salient concepts, a set of slots associated to classes to describe their properties and relationships, and a set of instances of those classes - individual exemplars of the concepts that hold specific values for their properties. * The Protege-OWL editor enables users to build ontologies for the Semantic Web, in particular in the W3C's Web Ontology Language (OWL). An OWL ontology may include descriptions of classes, properties and their instances. Given such an ontology, the OWL formal semantics specifies how to derive its logical consequences, i.e. facts not literally present in the ontology, but entailed by the semantics. These entailments may be based on a single document or multiple distributed documents that have been combined using defined OWL mechanisms (see the OWL Web Ontology Language Guide). Protege is based on Java, is extensible, and provides a plug-and-play environment that makes it a flexible base for rapid prototyping and application development.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 23,2022. ATGC stands for Alignable Tight Genomic Cluster, which is cluster of closely related prokaryotic genomes. ATGC is the principal notion of this web resource. The purpose of this web resource is to prepare ATGC-derived data sets for a variety of research projects in functional and evolutionary genomics. Unique features of ATGC include: * Reliable identification of orthologs (high degree of similarity between the genomes in the set allow an extensive use of synteny in ortholog identification); * Fine granularity of protein classification (in comparisons of more distant genomes, proteins belonging to families of paralogs are often lumped into a singlegroup; under the ATGC approach, comparison of genomic sequences from highly similar genomes allows one to track each set of orthologs separately); * Relative rarity of changes of any kind (in sequence, genome organization and gene content) allows the use of parsimony-related methods of analysis.

http://nmr.cmbi.ru.nl/NRG-CING/HTML/index.html

NRG-CING presents a complete validation report for all 9,000+ wwPDB NMR entries including remediated experimental data such as chemical shifts from BMRB and restraints from NRG . These CING reports are compiled from internal analyses and those by CCPN, DSSP, PROCHECK-NMR/Aqua, ShiftX, Talos+, Vasco, Wattos, and WHAT_CHECK. The NRG-CING website is a collection of CING reports that has been pre-calculated for all PDB files solved by NMR. (See website for more information on CING.) In case the underlying experimental data is available, these have been cleaned up and made syntactically and semantically correct and homogeneous. For many macromolecular NMR ensembles from the Protein Data Bank (PDB) the experiment-based restraint lists used in the structure calculation are accessible, while other experimental data, mainly chemical shift values, are often available from the BioMagResBank. Assessment of the quality of the structural result is paramount to their usage and a combined, integrated repository of both input data and structural results greatly facilitates such an analysis. In addition, the accuracy and precision of the coordinates in these macromolecular NMR ensembles can be improved by recalculations using the available experimental data and present-day software with improved protocols and force fields. Such efforts, however, generally fail on over half of all deposited structures due to the syntactic and semantic heterogeneity of the data and the wide variety of formats used for their deposition. We have combined the cleaned-up restraints information from the NMR Restraints Grid (NRG) database with available chemical shifts from the BioMagResBank in the weekly updated NRG-CING database. Eleven programs, in addition to CING itself, have been included in the NRG-CING production pipeline to arrive at validation reports that list for each entry the potential inconsistencies between the coordinates and the available restraint and chemical shift data. The longitudinal validation of this data yielded a set of indicators that can be used to judge the quality of every macromolecular structure solved with NMR. The cleaned up NMR experimental datasets and the validation reports are freely available.

https://compbio.dfci.harvard.edu/predictivenetworks//

A flexible, open-source, web-based application and data services framework that enables the integration, navigation, visualization and analysis of gene interaction networks. The primary goal of PN is to allow biomedical researchers to evaluate experimentally derived gene lists in the context of large-scale gene interaction networks. The PN analytical pipeline involves two key steps. The first is the collection of a comprehensive set of known gene interactions derived from a variety of publicly available sources. The second is to use these ''known'' interactions together with gene expression data to infer robust gene networks. The regression-based network inference algorithm creates a graph of gene interactions in which cycles may be present (but no self-loops). Based on information-theoretic techniques, a causal gene interaction network is inferred from both prior knowledge (interactions extracted from biomedical literature and structured biological databases) and gene expression data. A prediction model is fitted for each gene, given its parents, enabling assessment of the predictive ability of the network model.
