Gene Weaver (RRID:SCR_003009) | data analysis service, analysis service resource, data repository, database, storage service resource, production service resource, service resource, data or information resource | Freely accessible phenotype-centered database with integrated analysis and visualization tools. It combines diverse data sets from multiple species and experiment types, and allows data sharing across collaborative groups or to public users. It was conceived of as a tool for the integration of biological functions based on the molecular processes that subserved them. From these data, an empirically derived ontology may one day be inferred. Users have found the system valuable for a wide range of applications in the arena of functional genomic data integration. | phenotype, microarray, gene, genome, functional genomics, process, pathway, function, gene set, genomic data integration, analysis, visualization |

VMD (RRID:SCR_004905) | PAMGO_VMD, VMD | data analysis service, analysis service resource, database, production service resource, service resource, data or information resource | 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. | microbial genome sequence, genome, genome sequence, genome model, gene, image, oomycete, fungus, bacteria, phytophthora sojae, phytophthora ramorum, hyaloperonospora arabidopsidis, plant |

So far, GARD has responded to 27,635 inquiries on about 7,147 rare and genetic diseases. Requests come not only from patients and their families, but also from physicians, nurses and other health-care professionals. GARD also has proved useful to genetic counselors, occupational and physical therapists, social workers, and teachers who work with people with a genetic or rare disease. Even scientists who are studying a genetic or rare disease and who need information for their research have contacted GARD, as have people who are taking part in a clinical study. Community leaders looking to help people find resources for those with genetic or rare diseases and advocacy groups who want up-to-date disease information for their members have contacted GARD. And members of the media who are writing stories about genetic or rare diseases have found the information GARD has on hand useful, accurate and complete. GARD has information on: :- What is known about a genetic or rare disease. :- What research studies are being conducted. :- What genetic testing and genetic services are available. :- Which advocacy groups to contact for a specific genetic or rare disease. :- What has been written recently about a genetic or rare disease in medical journals.
