Database enables integration of genomic and phenomic data by providing access to primary experimental data, data collection protocols and analysis tools. Data represent behavioral, morphological and physiological disease-related characteristics in naive mice and those exposed to drugs, environmental agents or other treatments. Collaborative standardized collection of measured data on laboratory mouse strains to characterize them in order to facilitate translational discoveries and to assist in selection of strains for experimental studies. Includes baseline phenotype data sets as well as studies of drug, diet, disease and aging effect., protocols, projects and publications, and SNP, variation and gene expression studies. Provides tools for online analysis. Data sets are voluntarily contributed by researchers from variety of institutions and settings, or retrieved by MPD staff from open public sources. MPD has three major types of strain-centric data sets: phenotype strain surveys, SNP and variation data, and gene expression strain surveys. MPD collects data on classical inbred strains as well as any fixed-genotype strains and derivatives that are openly acquirable by the research community. New panels include Collaborative Cross (CC) lines and Diversity Outbred (DO) populations. Phenotype data include measurements of behavior, hematology, bone mineral density, cholesterol levels, endocrine function, aging processes, addiction, neurosensory functions, and other biomedically relevant areas. Genotype data are primarily in the form of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). MPD curates data into a common framework by standardizing mouse strain nomenclature, standardizing units (SI where feasible), evaluating data (completeness, statistical power, quality), categorizing phenotype data and linking to ontologies, conforming to internal style guides for titles, tags, and descriptions, and creating comprehensive protocol documentation including environmental parameters of the test animals. These elements are critical for experimental reproducibility.

http://dip.doe-mbi.ucla.edu/

Database to catalog experimentally determined interactions between proteins combining information from a variety of sources to create a single, consistent set of protein-protein interactions that can be downloaded in a variety of formats. The data were curated, both, manually and also automatically using computational approaches that utilize the the knowledge about the protein-protein interaction networks extracted from the most reliable, core subset of the DIP data. Because the reliability of experimental evidence varies widely, methods of quality assessment have been developed and utilized to identify the most reliable subset of the interactions. This CORE set can be used as a reference when evaluating the reliability of high-throughput protein-protein interaction data sets, for development of prediction methods, as well as in the studies of the properties of protein interaction networks. Tools are available to analyze, visualize and integrate user's own experimental data with the information about protein-protein interactions available in the DIP database. The DIP database lists protein pairs that are known to interact with each other. By interact they mean that two amino acid chains were experimentally identified to bind to each other. The database lists such pairs to aid those studying a particular protein-protein interaction but also those investigating entire regulatory and signaling pathways as well as those studying the organization and complexity of the protein interaction network at the cellular level. Registration is required to gain access to most of the DIP features. Registration is free to the members of the academic community. Trial accounts for the commercial users are also available.

http://pir.georgetown.edu/pirwww/dbinfo/pirsf.shtml

A SuperFamily classification system, with rules for functional site and protein name, to facilitate the sensible propagation and standardization of protein annotation and the systematic detection of annotation errors. The PIRSF concept is being used as a guiding principle to provide comprehensive and non-overlapping clustering of UniProtKB sequences into a hierarchical order to reflect their evolutionary relationships. The PIRSF classification system is based on whole proteins rather than on the component domains; therefore, it allows annotation of generic biochemical and specific biological functions, as well as classification of proteins without well-defined domains. There are different PIRSF classification levels. The primary level is the homeomorphic family, whose members are both homologous (evolved from a common ancestor) and homeomorphic (sharing full-length sequence similarity and a common domain architecture). At a lower level are the subfamilies which are clusters representing functional specialization and/or domain architecture variation within the family. Above the homeomorphic level there may be parent superfamilies that connect distantly related families and orphan proteins based on common domains. Because proteins can belong to more than one domain superfamily, the PIRSF structure is formally a network. The FTP site provides free download for PIRSF.

https://github.com/ggloor/ALDEx2

Software tool to examine compositional high-throughput sequence data with Welch's t-test. A differential relative count abundance analysis for the comparison of two conditions. For example, single-organism and meta-rna-seq high-throughput sequencing assays, or of selected and unselected values from in-vitro sequence selections. Uses a Dirichlet-multinomial model to infer abundance from counts, that has been optimized for three or more experimental replicates. Infers sampling variation and calculates the expected Benjamini-Hochberg false discovery rate given the biological and sampling variation using several parametric and non-parametric tests. Can to glm and Kruskal-Wallace tests on one-way ANOVA style designs.

http://primerseq.sourceforge.net/

Software that designs RT-PCR primers that evaluate alternative splicing events by incorporating RNA-Seq data. It is particularly advantageous for designing a large number of primers for validating alternative splicing events found in RNA-Seq data. It incorporates RNA-Seq data in the design process to weight exons by their read counts. Essentially, the RNA-Seq data allows primers to be placed using actually expressed transcripts. This could be for a particular cell line or experimental condition, rather than using annotations that incorporate transcripts that are not expressed for the data. Alternatively, you can design primers that are always on constitutive exons. PrimerSeq does not limit the use of gene annotations and can be used for a wide array of species.

http://www.lgm.upmc.fr/parseq/

Statistical software for transcription landscape reconstruction at a basepair resolution from RNA Seq read counts. It is based on a state-space model which describes, in terms of abrupt shifts and more progressive drifts, the transcription level dynamics along the genome. Alongside variations of transcription level, it incorporates a component of short-range variation to pull apart local artifacts causing correlated dispersion. Reconstruction of the transcription level relies on a conditional sequential Monte Carlo approach that is combined with parameter estimation in a Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm known as particle Gibbs. The method allows to estimate the local transcription level, to call transcribed regions, and to identify the transcript borders.
