Data analysis service that analyzes DNA sequences and determines their most likely phylogenetic origin. Its main use is in metagenomics projects, where DNA is isolated directly from natural environments and sequenced (the organisms from which the DNA originates are often entirely undescribed). It will search such sequences for suitable marker genes, and will use maximum likelihood analysis to place them in the ''''Tree of Life''''. This placement is more reliable than simply assessing the closest relative of a sequence using BLAST. More importantly, MLTreeMap decides not only who is the closest relative of your query sequence, but also how deep in the tree of life it probably branched off. Additionally, MLTreeMap searches the sequences for genes, which are coding for key enzymes of important functional pathways, such as RuBisCo, methane monooxygenase or nitrogenase. In case of a positive hit, MLTreeMap uses maximum likelihood analysis to place them in the respective ''''gene-family tree''''.

Profiling of Complex Functionality (ProfCom) is a web-based tool for the functional interpretation of a gene list that was identified to be related by experiments. A trait which makes ProfCom a unique tool is an ability to profile enrichments of not only available Gene Ontology (GO) terms but also of complex function. A complex function is constructed as Boolean combination of available GO terms. The complex functions inferred by ProfCom are more specific in comparison to single terms and describe more accurately the functional role of genes. Platform: Online tool

GOtcha provides a prediction of a set of GO terms that can be associated with a given query sequence. Each term is scored independently and the scores calibrated against reference searches to give an accurate percentage likelihood of correctness. These results can be displayed graphically. Why is GOtcha different to what is already out there and why should you be using it? * GOtcha uses a method where it combines information from many search hits, up to and including E-values that are normally discarded. This gives much better sensitivity than other methods. * GOtcha provides a score for each individual term, not just the leaf term or branch. This allows the discrimination between confident assignments that one would find at a more general level and the more specific terms that one would have lower confidence in. * The scores GOtcha provides are calibrated to give a real estimate of correctness. This is expressed as a percentage, giving a result that non-experts are comfortable in interpreting. * GOtcha provides graphical output that gives an overview of the confidence in, or potential alternatives for, particular GO term assignments. The tool is currently web-based; contact David Martin for details of the standalone version. Platform: Online tool

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE,documented on January,18, 2022. FaceBase Biorepository is now collecting biological samples from people with cleft lip/palate and their family members. Information for Prospective Cases: Clefts of the lip and/or palate can be caused by a wide range of genetic, environmental and other factors. The FaceBase Biorepository will serve as a common source of both biological samples and information that can be made available to investigators trying to determine the underlying cause of these common birth defects. Genetic studies, in particular, will benefit from both family history information and having samples from affected individuals as well as their family members. DNA is the information containing molecules found in all the cells of our body and can be easily obtained from material such as blood or saliva samples. As part of the FaceBase Biorepository, we are requesting families to submit biological samples from specific family members as well as information from other family members that might be affected with either the same condition or a similar condition. The medical and family history information that is collected includes other relevant information such as exposure to possible environmental causes during pregnancy. The biorepository is managed by Nichole Nidey, a research study coordinator, and Jeff Murray, a pediatric clinical geneticist and researcher. They are available to speak with family members regarding questions they may have, including providing information about the biorepository and making arrangements for the collection of samples for those who wish to participate. All participation is voluntary. Your name or other personally identifiable information (name, address, etc) will be removed before information is placed in the biorepository. Summary data to show how the database itself has been used overall as well as updates on whether specific findings might have been made using this database will be available on the FaceBase website at www.facebase.org. A newsletter containing this information will also be given to families and referring clinicians so that they may discuss the specifics with the families if there appears to be information that might be relevant in a particular case. Families will also need to sign a consent form that has been approved by the Institutional Review Board at the University of Iowa. Also, any submitted samples or data can also be removed from the database at any time should the family no longer wish to participate. Investigators interested in requesting DNA samples or for more information, please contact cleftresearch (at) uiowa.edu, Nichole Nidey, nichole-nidey (at) uiowa.edu or (319) 353-4365, or Jeff Murray, jeff-murray (at) uiowa.edu.

Database of images of putative biological pathways, macromolecular structures, gene families, and cellular relationships. It is of use to those who are working with large sets of genes or proteins using cDNA arrays, functional genomics, or proteomics. The rationale for this collection is that: # Except in a few cases, information on most biological pathways in higher eukaryotes is non-existent, incomplete, or conflicting. # Similar biological pathways differ by tissue context, developmental stages, stimulatory events, or for other complex reasons. This database allows comparisons of different variations of pathways that can be tested empirically. # The goal of this database is to use images created directly by biomedical scientists who are specialists in a particular biological system. It is specifically designed to NOT use average, idealized or redrawn pathways. It does NOT use pathways defined by computer algorithm or information search approaches. # Information on biological pathways in higher eukaryotes generally resides in the images and text of review papers. Much of this information is not easily accessible by current medical reference search engines. # All images are attributable to the original authors. All pathways or other biological systems described are graphic representations of natural systems. Each pathway is to be considered a work in progress. Each carries some degree of error or incompleteness. The end user has the ultimate responsibility to determine the scientific correctness and validity in their particular biological system. Image/pathway submissions are welcome.
