THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 2, 2025. Archives and distributes Antarctic glaciological and cryospheric system data collected by the U.S. Antarctic Program. The Data Catalog contains data sets collected by individual investigators and products assembled from many different PI data sets, published literature, and other sources. The catalog provides useful compilations of important geophysical parameters, such as accumulation rate or ice velocity. The NSF OPP Guidelines and Award Conditions for Scientific Data state that PIs should submit data collected as a result of their OPP grant to a designated data center as soon as possible, but no later than two years after the data are collected.

http://cmr.jcvi.org/tigr-scripts/CMR/CmrHomePage.cgi

Database of all of the publicly available, complete prokaryotic genomes. In addition to having all of the organisms on a single website, common data types across all genomes in the CMR make searches more meaningful, and cross genome analysis highlight differences and similarities between the genomes. CMR offers a wide variety of tools and resources, all of which are available off of our menu bar at the top of each page. Below is an explanation and link for each of these menu options. * Genome Tools: Find organism lists as well as summary information and analyses for selected genomes. * Searches: Search CMR for genes, genomes, sequence regions, and evidence. * Comparative Tools: Compare multiple genomes based on a variety of criteria, including sequence homology and gene attributes. SNP data is also found under this menu. * Lists: Select and download gene, evidence, and genomic element lists. * Downloads: Download gene sequences or attributes for CMR organisms, or go to our FTP site. * Carts: Select genome preferences from our Genome Cart or download your Gene Cart genes. The Omniome is the relational database underlying the CMR and it holds all of the annotation for each of the CMR genomes, including DNA sequences, proteins, RNA genes and many other types of features. Associated with each of these DNA features in the Omniome are the feature coordinates, nucleotide and protein sequences (where appropriate), and the DNA molecule and organism with which the feature is associated. Also available are evidence types associated with annotation such as HMMs, BLAST, InterPro, COG, and Prosite, as well as individual gene attributes. In addition, the database stores identifiers from other centers such as GenBank and SwissProt, as well as manually curated information on each genome or each DNA molecule including website links. Also stored in the Omniome are precomputed homology data, called All vs All searches, used throughout the CMR for comparative analysis.

http://www.vistrails.org/

Open-source scientific workflow and provenance management system that provides support for simulations, data exploration and visualization. It was designed to manage these rapidly-evolving workflows. VisTrails has a comprehensive provenance infrastructure that maintains detailed history information about the steps followed and data derived in the course of an exploratory task: VisTrails maintains provenance of data products, of the workflows that derive these products and their executions. This information is persisted as XML files or in a relational database, and it allows users to navigate workflow versions in an intuitive way, to undo changes but not lose any results, to visually compare different workflows and their results, and to examine the actions that led to a result. It also enables a series operations and user interfaces that simplify workflow design and use, including the ability to create and refine workflows by analogy and to query workflows by example. VisTrails supports the creation and execution of workflows. It allows the combination of loosely-coupled resources, specialized libraries, grid and Web services. The released version comes with support for several packages including, VTK, Image Magick, Web Services, and pylab. You can also download packages contributed by users, as well as create your own packages/modules. Workflows can be run interactively, through the VisTrails GUI, or in batch using a VisTrails server. VisTrails is written in Python and it uses the multi-platform Qt library for its user interface. It runs on Mac, Linux and Windows. Provenance-rich results derived by VisTrails can be included in LaTeX, Wiki, Microsoft Word and PowerPoint documents.

http://www.ibioseminars.org/

iBioSeminars offers: * Free, on-demand lectures: Many universities/colleges have limited access to high profile leaders in biological research. Our goal is to add 15-20 seminars per year, of similar quality to outstanding lectures that are currently in this library. Access, through web streaming or download, is completely free-of-charge. * Targeting a broad audience: iBioSeminars start with an extended introduction, making them accessible to non-specialists and students, and then progress to cover current research. Senior scientists and students can view and enjoy these lectures. * Education: iBioSeminars are being used by undergraduate and graduate teachers to augment their classroom material. We have now added an education component to this web site (including lecture notes, questions/answers and short video clips for teaching). * International communication: iBioSeminars have viewers in 115 countries and they are being internally promoted in several countries as an educational tool and scientific resource. * Goodwill: Lecturers generously donate their time to prepare these lectures. The project, largely funded by HHMI, is a grass roots efforts with time invested by several individuals at UCSF, HHMI and ASCB.

http://treebase.org/treebase-web/

Repository of phylogenetic information, specifically user-submitted phylogenetic trees and the data used to generate them. TreeBASE accepts all kinds of phylogenetic data (e.g., trees of species, trees of populations, trees of genes) representing all biotic taxa. Data in TreeBASE are exposed to the public if they are used in a publication that is in press or published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal, book, conference proceedings, or thesis. Data used in publications that are in preparation or in review can be submitted to TreeBASE but will not be available to the public until they have passed peer review.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on July 15, 2013. Database covering a range of plant pathogenic oomycetes, fungi and bacteria primarily those under study at Virginia Bioinformatics Institute. The data comes from different sources and has genomes of 3 oomycetes pathogens: Phytophthora sojae, Phytophthora ramorum and Hyaloperonospora arabidopsidis. The genome sequences (95 MB for P.sojae and 65 MB for P.ramorum) were annotated with approximately 19,000 and approximately 16,000 gene models, respectively. Two different statistical methods were used to validate these gene models, Fickett''''s and a log-likelihood method. Functional annotation of the gene models is based on results from BlastX and InterProScan screens. From the InterProScan results, putative functions to 17,694 genes in P.sojae and 14,700 genes in P.ramorum could be assigned. An easy-to-use genome browser was created to view the genome sequence data, which opens to detailed annotation pages for each gene model. A community annotation interface is available for registered community members to add or edit annotations. There are approximately 1600 gene models for P.sojae and approximately 700 models for P.ramorum that have already been manually curated. A toolkit is provided as an additional resource for users to perform a variety of sequence analysis jobs.
