Software providing de novo, parallel, paired-end sequence assembler that is designed for short reads. ABySS 1.0 originally showed that assembling human genome using short 50 bp sequencing reads was possible by aggregating half terabyte of compute memory needed over several computers using standardized message passing system. ABySS 2.0 is Resource Efficient Assembly of Large Genomes using Bloom Filter. ABySS 2.0 departs from MPI and instead implements algorithms that employ Bloom filter, probabilistic data structure, to represent de Bruijn graph and reduce memory requirements.

http://icy.bioimageanalysis.org/

An open community platform for bioimage informatics providing the software resources to visualize, annotate and quantify bioimaging data. To bridge the gap between developers and users, it combines: a) an open-source image analysis software, offering a powerful and flexible environment for developers such as applied mathematicians to write algorithms fast and efficiently; b) a common set of tools to view and manipulate data, and a set of plugins to perform specific quantification or analysis on images; c) a community-based website centralizing all plugins and resources to facilitate their management and maximize their visibility towards users. Workspaces are virtual groups of plugins dedicated to a specific application or image processing domain. By downloading a workspace, ICY automatically installs all corresponding plugins. The workspaces are enabled, but the editing section is not ready yet. If you want to publish a plugin on this website, its code has to be GPL. Source code is available and provided in each application download.

http://www.ddbj.nig.ac.jp

Maintains and provides archival, retrieval and analytical resources for biological information. Central DDBJ resource consists of public, open-access nucleotide sequence databases including raw sequence reads, assembly information and functional annotation. Database content is exchanged with EBI and NCBI within the framework of the International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration (INSDC). In 2011, DDBJ launched two new resources: DDBJ Omics Archive and BioProject. DOR is archival database of functional genomics data generated by microarray and highly parallel new generation sequencers. Data are exchanged between the ArrayExpress at EBI and DOR in the common MAGE-TAB format. BioProject provides organizational framework to access metadata about research projects and data from projects that are deposited into different databases.

http://bioinformatics.charite.de/superpred/

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on November 24,2025. Publicly available web-server to predict medical indication areas based on properties and similarity of chemical compounds. The web-server translates a user-defined molecule into a structural fingerprint that is compared to about 6300 drugs, which are enriched by 7300 links to molecular targets of the drugs, derived through text mining followed by manual curation. Links to the affected pathways are provided. The similarity to the medical compounds is expressed by the Tanimoto coefficient that gives the structural similarity of two compounds. A similarity score higher than 0.85 results in correct ATC prediction for 81% of all cases. As the biological effect is well predictable, if the structural similarity is sufficient, the web-server allows prognoses about the medical indication area of novel compounds and to find new leads for known targets. The combination of physicochemical property and similarity searching provides the possibility to detect new biologically active compounds and novel targets for drug-like compounds. SuperPred can be applied for drug repositioning purposes, too. A further intention of SuperPred is to find side effects elicited by drugs caused through off-target hits.

http://www.imexconsortium.org/

Interaction database from international collaboration between major public interaction data providers who share curation effort and develop set of curation rules when capturing data from both directly deposited interaction data or from publications in peer reviewed journals. Performs complete curation of all protein-protein interactions experimentally demonstrated within publication and makes them available in single search interface on common website. Provides data in standards compliant download formats. IMEx partners produce their own separate resources, which range from all encompassing molecular interaction databases, such as are maintained by IntAct, MINT and DIP, organism-centric resources such as BioGrid or MPIDB or biological domain centric, such as MatrixDB. They have committed to making records available, via PSICQUIC webservice, which have been curated to IMEx rules and are available to users as single, non-redundant set of curated publications which can be searched at the IMEx website. Data is made available in standards-compliant tab-deliminated and XML formats, enabling to visualize data using wide range of tools. Consortium is open to participation of additional partners and encourages deposition of data, prior to publication, and will supply unique accession numbers which may be referenced within final article. Submitters may send their data directly to any of member databases using variety of formats, but should conform to guidelines as to minimum information required to describe data.

http://www.greenphyl.org/

A database designed for plant comparative and functional genomics based on complete genomes. It comprises complete proteome sequences from the major phylum of plant evolution. The clustering of these proteomes was performed to define a consistent and extensive set of homeomorphic plant families. Based on this, lists of gene families such as plant or species specific families and several tools are provided to facilitate comparative genomics within plant genomes. The analyses follow two main steps: gene family clustering and phylogenomic analysis of the generated families. Once a group of sequences (cluster) is validated, phylogenetic analyses are performed to predict homolog relationships such as orthologs and ultraparalogs.
