http://mirnamap.mbc.nctu.edu.tw

A database of experimentally verified microRNAs and miRNA target genes in human, mouse, rat, and other metazoan genomes. In addition to known miRNA targets, three computational tools previously developed, such as miRanda, RNAhybrid and TargetScan, were applied for identifying miRNA targets in 3'-UTR of genes. In order to reduce the false positive prediction of miRNA targets, several criteria are supported for filtering the putative miRNA targets. Furthermore, miRNA expression profiles can provide valuable clues for investigating the properties of miRNAs, such tissue specificity and differential expression in cancer/normal cell. Therefore, we performed the Q-PCR experiments for monitoring the expression profiles of 224 human miRNAs in eighteen major normal tissues in human. The cross-reference between the miRNA expression profiles and the expression profiles of its target genes can provide effective viewpoint to understand the regulatory functions of the miRNA.

The Peptide Sequence Database contains putative peptide sequences from human, mouse, rat, and zebrafish. Compressed to eliminate redundancy, these are about 40 fold smaller than a brute force enumeration. Current and old releases are available for download. Each species'' peptide sequence database comprises peptide sequence data from releveant species specific UniGene and IPI clusters, plus all sequences from their consituent EST, mRNA and protein sequence databases, namely RefSeq proteins and mRNAs, UniProt''s SwissProt and TrEMBL, GenBank mRNA, ESTs, and high-throughput cDNAs, HInv-DB, VEGA, EMBL, IPI protein sequences, plus the enumeration of all combinations of UniProt sequence variants, Met loss PTM, and signal peptide cleavages. The README file contains some information about the non amino-acid symbols O (digest site corresponding to a protein N- or C-terminus) and J (no digest sequence join) used in these peptide sequence databases and information about how to configure various search engines to use them. Some search engines handle (very) long sequences badly and in some cases must be patched to use these peptide sequence databases. All search engines supported by the PepArML meta-search engine can (or can be patched to) successfully search these peptide sequence databases.

http://bpg.utoledo.edu/~afedorov/lab/eid.html

Data sets of protein-coding intron-containing genes that contain gene information from humans, mice, rats, and other eukaryotes, as well as genes from species whose genomes have not been completely sequenced. This is a comprehensive and convenient dataset of sequences for computational biologists who study exon-intron gene structures and pre-mRNA splicing. The database is derived from GenBank release 112, and it contains protein-coding genes that harbor introns, along with extensive descriptions of each gene and its DNA and protein sequences, as well as splice motif information. They have created subdatabases of genes whose intron positions have been experimentally determined. The collection also contains data on untranslated regions of gene sequences and intron-less genes. For species with entirely sequenced genomes, species-specific databases have been generated. A novel Mammalian Orthologous Intron Database (MOID) has been introduced which includes the full set of introns that come from orthologous genes that have the same positions relative to the reading frames.

http://inparanoid.sbc.su.se/cgi-bin/index.cgi

Collection of pairwise comparisons between 100 whole genomes generated by a fully automatic method for finding orthologs and in-paralogs between TWO species. Ortholog clusters in the InParanoid are seeded with a two-way best pairwise match, after which an algorithm for adding in-paralogs is applied. The method bypasses multiple alignments and phylogenetic trees, which can be slow and error-prone steps in classical ortholog detection. Still, it robustly detects complex orthologous relationships and assigns confidence values for in-paralogs. The original data sets can be downloaded.

Catalog of internet resources relating to biological model organisms, and is part of the Biosciences area of the Virtual Library project. The main Model Organisms Library discussed in this website are: * E. coli (bacterium) * Yeasts (Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and other species) * Dictyostelium discoideum (slime mold) * Drosophila melanogaster (fruit fly) * Xenopus laevis (African clawed frog) Many aspects of biology are similar in most or all organisms, but it is frequently much easier to study particular aspects in particular organisms - for instance, genetics is easier in small organisms that breed quickly, and very difficult in humans! The most popular model organisms have strong advantages for experimental research, and become even more useful when other scientists have already worked on them, discovering techniques, genes and other useful information.

http://www.textpresso.org/

An information extracting and processing package for biological literature that can be used online or installed locally via a downloadable software package, http://www.textpresso.org/downloads.html Textpresso's two major elements are (1) access to full text, so that entire articles can be searched, and (2) introduction of categories of biological concepts and classes that relate two objects (e.g., association, regulation, etc.) or describe one (e.g., methods, etc). A search engine enables the user to search for one or a combination of these categories and/or keywords within an entire literature. The Textpresso project serves the biological and biomedical research community by providing: * Full text literature searches of model organism research and subject-specific articles at individual sites. Major elements of these search engines are (1) access to full text, so that the entire content of articles can be searched, and (2) search capabilities using categories of biological concepts and classes that relate two objects (e.g., association, regulation, etc.) or identify one (e.g., cell, gene, allele, etc). The search engines are flexible, enabling users to query the entire literature using keywords, one or more categories or a combination of keywords and categories. * Text classification and mining of biomedical literature for database curation. They help database curators to identify and extract biological entities and facts from the full text of research articles. Examples of entity identification and extraction include new allele and gene names and human disease gene orthologs; examples of fact identification and extraction include sentence retrieval for curating gene-gene regulation, Gene Ontology (GO) cellular components and GO molecular function annotations. In addition they classify papers according to curation needs. They employ a variety of methods such as hidden Markov models, support vector machines, conditional random fields and pattern matches. Our collaborators include WormBase, FlyBase, SGD, TAIR, dictyBase and the Neuroscience Information Framework. They are looking forward to collaborating with more model organism databases and projects. * Linking biological entities in PDF and online journal articles to online databases. They have established a journal article mark-up pipeline that links select content of Genetics journal articles to model organism databases such as WormBase and SGD. The entity markup pipeline links over nine classes of objects including genes, proteins, alleles, phenotypes, and anatomical terms to the appropriate page at each database. The first article published with online and PDF-embedded hyperlinks to WormBase appeared in the September 2009 issue of Genetics. As of January 2011, we have processed around 70 articles, to be continued indefinitely. Extension of this pipeline to other journals and model organism databases is planned. Textpresso is useful as a search engine for researchers as well as a curation tool. It was developed as a part of WormBase and is used extensively by C. elegans curators. Textpresso has currently been implemented for 24 different literatures, among them Neuroscience, and can readily be extended to other corpora of text.

http://crezoo.crt-dresden.de/crezoo/

Database of helpful set of CreERT2 driver lines expressing in various regions of the developing and adult zebrafish. The lines have been generated via the insertion of a mCherry-T2A-CreERT2 in a gene trap approach or by using promoter fragments driving CreERT2. You can search the list of all transgenic lines or single entries by insertions (gene) or expression patterns (anatomy/region). In most cases the CreERT2 expression profile using in situ hybridization at 24 hpf and 48 hpf is shown, but also additional information (e.g. mCherry or CreERT2 expression at adult stages, transactivation of a Cre-dependent reporter line) is displayed. Currently, not all insertions have been mapped to a genomic location but the database will be regularly updated adding newly generated insertions and mapping information. Your help in improving and broadening the database by giving your opinion or knowledge of expression patterns is highly appreciated.

http://www.morpholinodatabase.org/

Central database to house data on morpholino screens currently containing over 700 morpholinos including control and multiple morpholinos against the same target. A publicly accessible sequence-based search opens this database for morpholinos against a particular target for the zebrafish community. Morpholino Screens: They set out to identify all cotranslationally translocated genes in the zebrafish genome (Secretome/CTT-ome). Morpholinos were designed against putative secreted/CTT targets and injected into 1-4 cell stage zebrafish embryos. The embryos were observed over a 5 day period for defects in several different systems. The first screen examined 184 gene targets of which 26 demonstrated defects of interest (Pickart et al. 2006). A collaboration with the Verfaillie laboratory examined the knockdown of targets identified in a comparative microarray analysis of hematopoietic stem cells demonstrating how microarray and morpholino technologies can be used in conjunction to enrich for defects in specific developmental processes. Currently, many collaborations are underway to identify genes involved in morphological, kidney, skin, eye, pigment, vascular and hematopoietic development, lipid metabolism and more. The screen types referred to in the search functions are the specific areas of development that were examined during the various screens, which include behavior, general morphology, pigmentation, toxicity, Pax2 expression, and development of the craniofacial structures, eyes, kidneys, pituitary, and skin. Only data pertaining to specific tests performed are presented. Due to the complexity of this international collaboration and time constraints, not all morpholinos were subjected to all screen types. They are currently expanding public access to the database. In the future we will provide: * Mortality curves and dose range for each morpholino * Preliminary data regarding the effectiveness of each morpholino * Expanded annotation for each morpholino * External linkage of our morpholino sequences to ZFIN and Ensembl. To submit morpholino-knockdown results to MODB please contact the administrator for a user name and password.
