http://biogps.org/

An extensible and customizable gene annotation portal that emphasizes community extensibility and user customizability. It is a complete resource for learning about gene and protein function. Community extensibility reflects a belief that any BioGPS user should be able to add new content to BioGPS using the simple plugin interface, completely independently of the core developer team. User customizability recognizes that not all users are interested in the same set of gene annotation data, so the gene report layouts enable each user to define the information that is most relevant to them. Currently, BioGPS supports eight species: Human (Homo sapiens), Mouse (Mus musculus), Rat (Rattus norvegicus), Fruitfly (Drosophila melanogaster), Nematode (Caenorhabditis elegans), Zebrafish (Danio rerio), Thale-cress (Arabidopsis thaliana), Frog (Xenopus tropicalis), and Pig (Sus scrofa). BioGPS presents data in an ortholog-centric format, which allows users to display mouse plugins next to human ones. Our data for defining orthologs comes from NCBI's HomoloGene database.

http://www.cpc.unc.edu/projects/addhealth

Longitudinal study of a nationally representative sample of adolescents in grades 7-12 in the United States during the 1994-95 school year. Public data on about 21,000 people first surveyed in 1994 are available on the first phases of the study, as well as study design specifications. It also includes some parent and biomarker data. The Add Health cohort has been followed into young adulthood with four in-home interviews, the most recent in 2008, when the sample was aged 24-32. Add Health combines longitudinal survey data on respondents social, economic, psychological and physical well-being with contextual data on the family, neighborhood, community, school, friendships, peer groups, and romantic relationships, providing unique opportunities to study how social environments and behaviors in adolescence are linked to health and achievement outcomes in young adulthood. The fourth wave of interviews expanded the collection of biological data in Add Health to understand the social, behavioral, and biological linkages in health trajectories as the Add Health cohort ages through adulthood. The restricted-use contract includes four hours of free consultation with appropriate staff; after that, there''s a fee for help. Researchers can also share information through a listserv devoted to the database.

Flexible Structural Neighborhood is a database of structural neighbors of proteins as seen by FATCAT - a flexible protein structure alignment program. The server accepts either a protein (PDB ID) or a domain (SCOP ID) as a query. For the former case, the server first displays the information of chains and domains of a given protein. Afterwards, users can retrieve similar structures for a domain (if domain information is available, i.e., the protein is collected by SCOP), or for a chain otherwise. The protein structure database we collected for similar structure search includes a representative set at 90% sequence identity of SCOP domains, and of up-to-date PDB entries that are not included in the latest release of SCOP.

http://ecoliwiki.net/colipedia/index.php/Welcome_to_EcoliWiki

A component of EcoliHub, EcoliWiki is a wiki-based system for finding, editing, and adding information about E. coli K-12 and other model organism strains of E. coli. EcoliWiki is being constructed to include information about bacteriophage, plasmids, and mobile genetic elements. Information should be easily accessible and correct, and users have the right to edit any information they feel is incorrect. Most of the E. coli information was initially seeded with a subset of information from parsing EcoCyc data dumps. For phage gamma and the F plasmid, Genbank accessions were converted to GFF, which was parsed into the appropriate tables. Other sources of content include: * user additions * monthly addition of annotations from EcoCyc * structural data from the PDB * domains and motif information from InterPro * various databases including EcoGene, RegulonDB, Genbank, GenoBase, ASAP * many many scientific papers EcoliWiki participates in the RefGenome project. EcoliWiki provides REST web services as part of the EcoliHub Web Services infrastructure project.

The Dynamic Regulatory Events Miner (DREM) allows one to model, analyze, and visualize transcriptional gene regulation dynamics. The method of DREM takes as input time series gene expression data and static transcription factor-gene interaction data (e.g. ChIP-chip data), and produces as output a dynamic regulatory map. The dynamic regulatory map highlights major bifurcation events in the time series expression data and transcription factors potentially responsible for them. DREM 2.0 was released and supports a number of new features including: * new static binding data for mouse, human, D. melanogaster, A. thaliana * a new and more flexible implementation of the IOHMM supports dynamic binding data for each time point or as a mix of static/dynamic TF input * expression levels of TFs can be used to improve the models learned by DREM * the motif finder DECOD can be used in conjuction with DREM and help find DNA motifs for unannotated splits * new features for the visualization of expressed TFs, dragging boxes in the model view, and switching between representations

http://ontodog.hegroup.org/index.php

Ontodog is a web-based ontology view generator. It can generate inSubset annotation ontology, user preferred label annotation ontology and subset of source ontology. Simply provide Ontodog input term file (Microsoft Excel file or tab-delimited text file), select one source ontology or enter your own source ontology and SPARQL endpoint, then set the settings for Ontodog output files and get the OWL (RDF/XML) Output files. Ontodog performs the basic ontology modularization-like function, i.e.,it automatically extracts all axioms and related terms associated with user-specified signature term(s). In addition, Ontodog includes extra features: (1) extracting all instance data associated with the retrieved class terms and annotations; and (2) recursively extracting all axioms and related terms indirectly associated with signature terms. More features are being added to Ontodog, such as relabeling preferred names for various ontology terms to fit in with the needs from a specific community. The Ontodog input data requires a source ontology and a list of user-specified signature terms in tab-delimited format. Ontodog provides the template files for generating the signature terms as the input terms file to download. There are several output options that the users can choose based on their needs. With more and more ontologies being developed, Ontodog offers a timely web-based package of solutions for ontology view generation. Ontodog provides an efficient approach to promote ontology sharing and interoperability. It is easy to use and does not require knowledge of SPARQL, script programming, and command line operation. Ontodog is developed to serve the ontology community for ontology reuse. It is freely available under the Apache License 2.0. The source code is made available under Apache License 2.0.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. For updated mutant information, please visit MMRRC or The Jackson Laboratory. Produces, characterizes, and distributes mutant mouse strains with defects in embryonic and postembryonic development. The goal of the ENU Mutagenesis project III is to determine the function of genes on mouse Chromosome 11 by saturating the chromosome with recessive mutations. The distal 40 cM of mouse Chr 11 exhibits linkage conservation with human Chromosome 17. We are using the chemical N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU) to saturate wild type chromosomes with point mutations. By determining the function of genes on a mouse chromosome, we can extrapolate to predict function on a human chromosome. We expect many of the new mutants to represent models of human diseases such as birth defects, patterning defects, growth and endocrine defects, neurological anomalies, and blood defects. Because many of the mutations we expect to isolate may be lethal or detrimental to the mice, we are using a unique approach to isolate mutations. This approach uses a balancer chromosome that is homozygous lethal and carries a dominant coat color marker to suppress recombination over a reasonable interval.
