http://u-compare.org/

An integrated text mining / natural language processing system based on the Unstructured Information Management Architecture (UIMA) Framework. It allows interoperability of text mining tools and allows the creation of text mining workflows, comparison and visualization of tools. U-Compare can be launched straight from the web or downloaded. As the name implies comparison of components and workflows is a central feature of the system. U-Compare allows sets of components to be run in parallel on the same inputs and then automatically generates statistics for all possible combinations of these components. Once a workflow has been created in U-Compare it can be exported and shared with other users or used with other UIMA compatible tools and so in addition to comparison, U-Compare also functions as a general purpose workflow creation tool. It contains a repository of 50+ biomedical text mining components. These components are included in the U-Compare single-click-to-launch package, ready to use by just drag-and-drop. You can also use this repository independent from the U-Compare system. Link with Taverna It has a link with Taverna for scientific workflows, http://bioinformatics.oxfordjournals.org/content/26/19/2486.abstract, where you can use U-Compare and its workflow from within the Taverna workflow. There are two ways, the U-Compare Taverna plugin and the U-Compare command line mode as a Taverna activity. We have recently integrated it with Peter Murray-Rust''''s OSCAR for Chemistry (see http://www.nactem.ac.uk/cheta/) Web Demo: http://www.nactem.ac.uk/software/cheta/

http://mus.well.ox.ac.uk/gscandb/

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 23,2022. Database / display tool of genome scans, with a web interface that lets the user view the data. It does not perform any analyses - these must be done by other software, and the results uploaded into it. The basic features of GSCANDB are: * Parallel viewing of scans for multiple phenotypes. * Parallel analyses of the same scan data. * Genome-wide views of genome scans * Chromosomal region views, with zooming * Gene and SNP Annotation is shown at high zoom levels * Haplotype block structure viewing * The positions of known Trait Loci can be overlayed and queried. * Links to Ensembl, MGI, NCBI, UCSC and other genome data browsers. In GSCANDB, a genome scan has a wide definition, including not only the usual statistical genetic measures of association between genetic variation at a series of loci and variation in a phenotype, but any quantitative measure that varies along the genome. This includes for example competitive genome hybridization data and some kinds of gene expression measurements.

http://sonorus.princeton.edu/hefalmp/

HEFalMp (Human Experimental/FunctionAL MaPper) is a tool developed by Curtis Huttenhower in Olga Troyanskaya's lab at Princeton University. It was created to allow interactive exploration of functional maps. Functional mapping analyzes portions of these networks related to user-specified groups of genes and biological processes and displays the results as probabilities (for individual genes), functional association p-values (for groups of genes), or graphically (as an interaction network). HEFalMp contains information from roughly 15,000 microarray conditions, over 15,000 publications on genetic and physical protein interactions, and several types of DNA and protein sequence analyses and allows the exploration of over 200 H. sapiens process-specific functional relationship networks, including a global, process-independent network capturing the most general functional relationships. Looking to download functional maps? Keep an eye on the bottom of each page of results: every functional map of any kind is generated with a Download link at the bottom right. Most functional maps are provided as tab-delimited text to simplify downstream processing; graphical interaction networks are provided as Support Vector Graphics files, which can be viewed using the Adobe Viewer, any recent version of Firefox, or the excellent open source Inkscape tool.

http://pilgrm.princeton.edu

PILGRM (the platform for interactive learning by genomics results mining) puts advanced supervised analysis techniques applied to enormous gene expression compendia into the hands of bench biologists. This flexible system empowers its users to answer diverse biological questions that are often outside of the scope of common databases in a data-driven manner. This capability allows domain experts to quickly and easily generate hypotheses about biological processes, tissues or diseases of interest. Specifically PILGRM helps biologists generate these hypotheses by analyzing the expression levels of known relevant genes in large compendia of microarray data. PILGRM is for the biologist with a set of proteins relevant to a disease, biological function or tissue of interest who wants to find additional players in that process. It uses a data driven method that provides added value for literature search results by mining compendia of publicly available gene expression datasets using lists of relevant and irrelevant genes (standards). PILGRM produces publication quality PDFs usable as supplementary material to describe the computational approach, standards and datasets. Each PILGRM analysis starts with an important biological question (e.g. What genes are relevant for breast cancer but not mammary tissue in general?). For PILGRM to discover relevant genes, it needs examples of both genes that you would (positive) and would not (negative) find interesting. Lists of these genes are what we call standards and in PILGRM you can build your own standards or you can use standards from common sources that we pre-load for your convenience. PILGRM lets you build your own literature-documented standards so that processes, disease, and tissues that are not well covered in databases of tissue expression, disease, or function can still be used for an analysis.

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.
