Map of identifyied genes controlling traits of economic and welfare significance in the pig. The project objectives were to produce a genetic map with markers spaced at approximately 20 centiMorgan intervals over at least 90% of the pig genome; to produce a physical map with at least one distal and one proximal landmark locus mapped on each porcine chromosome arm and also genetically mapped; to develop a flow karyotype for the pig based on FACS sorted chromosomes; to develop PCR based techniques to enable rapid genotyping for polymorphic markers; to evaluate synteny conservation between pigs, man, mice and cattle; to develop and evaluate the statistical techniques required to analyze data from QTL mapping experiments and to plan and initiate the mapping of QTLs in the pig; to map loci affecting traits of economic and biological significance in the pig; and to develop the molecular tools to allow the future identification and cloning of mapped loci. Animal breeders currently assume that economically important traits such as growth, carcass composition and reproductive performance are controlled by an infinite number of genes each of infinitessimal effect. Although this model is known to be unrealistic, it has successfully underpinned the genetic improvement of livestock, including pigs, over recent decades. A map of the pig genome would allow the development of more realistic models of the genetic control of economic traits and the ultimately the identification of the major trait genes. This would allow the development of more efficient marker assisted selection which may be of particular value for traits such as disease resistance and meat quality.

Part of zebrafish genome project. ZGC project to produce cDNA libraries, clones and sequences to provide complete set of full-length (open reading frame) sequences and cDNA clones of expressed genes for zebrafish. All ZGC sequences are deposited in GenBank and clones can be purchased from distributors of IMAGE consortium. With conclusion of ZGC project in September 2008, GenBank records of ZGC sequences will be frozen, without further updates. Since definition of what constitutes full-length coding region for some of genes and transcripts for which we have ZGC clones will likely change in future, users planning to order ZGC clones will need to monitor for these changes. Users can make use of genome browsers and gene-specific databases, such as UCSC Genome browser, NCBI's Map Viewer, and Entrez Gene, to view relevant regions of genome (browsers) or gene-related information (Entrez Gene).

The National Bioscience Database Center (NBDC) intends to integrate all databases for life sciences in Japan, by linking each database with expediency to maximize convenience and make the entire system more user-friendly. We aim to focus our attention on the needs of the users of these databases who have all too often been neglected in the past, rather than the needs of the people tasked with the creation of databases. It is important to note that we will continue to honor the independent integrity of each database that will contribute to our endeavor, as we are fully aware that each database was originally crafted for specific purposes and divergent goals. Services: * Database Catalog - A catalog of life science related databases constructed in Japan that are also available in English. Information such as URL, status of the database site (active vs. inactive), database provider, type of data and subjects of the study are contained for each database record. * Life Science Database Cross Search - A service for simultaneous searching across scattered life-science databases, ranging from molecular data to patents and literature. * Life Science Database Archive - maintains and stores the datasets generated by life scientists in Japan in a long-term and stable state as national public goods. The Archive makes it easier for many people to search datasets by metadata in a unified format, and to access and download the datasets with clear terms of use. * Taxonomy Icon - A collection of icons (illustrations) of biological species that is free to use and distribute. There are more than 200 icons of various species including Bacteria, Fungi, Protista, Plantae and Animalia. * GenLibi (Gene Linker to bibliography) - an integrated database of human, mouse and rat genes that includes automatically integrated gene, protein, polymorphism, pathway, phenotype, ortholog/protein sequence information, and manually curated gene function and gene-related or co-occurred Disease/Phenotype and bibliography information. * Allie - A search service for abbreviations and long forms utilized in life sciences. It provides a solution to the issue that many abbreviations are used in the literature, and polysemous or synonymous abbreviations appear frequently, making it difficult to read and understand scientific papers that are not relevant to the reader's expertise. * inMeXes - A search service for English expressions (multiple words) that appear no less than 10 times in PubMed/MEDLINE titles or abstracts. In addition, you can easily access the sentences where the expression was used or other related information by clicking one of the search results. * HOWDY - (Human Organized Whole genome Database) is a database system for retrieving human genome information from 14 public databases by using official symbols and aliases. The information is daily updated by extracting data automatically from the genetic databases and shown with all data having the identifiers in common and linking to one another. * MDeR (the MetaData Element Repository in life sciences) - a web-based tool designed to let you search, compare and view Data Elements. MDeR is based on the ISO/IEC 11179 Part3 (Registry metamodel and basic attributes). * Human Genome Variation Database - A database for accumulating all kinds of human genome variations detected by various experimental techniques. * MEDALS - A portal site that provides information about databases, analysis tools, and the relevant projects, that were conducted with the financial support from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan.

http://lab.rockefeller.edu/casanova/HGC

Data set containing a gene-specific connectome file for each human gene and computer programs for ranking lists of genes within a gene-specific connectome, clustering and plotting the genes by the functional genomic alignment (FGA) approach, and generating gene-specific connectomes. The programs were developed and tested on Mac and Linux systems. The external software required for running these programs is open-source and free of charge. The HGC is the set of all biologically plausible routes, distances, and degrees of separation between all pairs of human genes. A gene-specific connectome contains the set of all available human genes sorted on the basis of their predicted biological proximity to the specific gene of interest. The HGC is a powerful approach for human genotype-phenotype high-throughput studies, for which it can be used to rank any list of genes within a gene-specific connectome for an experimentally validated core gene. Functional genomic alignment (FGA) is equivalent to traditional multiple sequence alignment (MSA), except that it clusters genes in trees on the basis of the functional biological distance between them predicted by HGC, rather than on the basis of molecular evolutionary genetic distance. This method is therefore more suitable for disease and phenotypic studies.
