The goal of the DOE JGI Plant Genome Program is to shed light on the fundamental biology of photosynthesis and transduction of solar to chemical energy. Other areas of interest include characterizing: * Ecosystems and the role of terrestrial plants and oceanic phytoplankton-in carbon sequestration. * The role of plants in coping with toxic pollutants in soils by hyper-accumulation and detoxification. * Feedstocks for biofuels, e.g., biodiesel from soybean; cellulosic ethanol from perennial grasses. * The ability to respond to environmental change (e.g., loss of diversity from monoculture produces vulnerabilities; nitrogen fixing nodules in legumes reduce fertilizer need). * The generation of useful secondary metabolites (produced largely for disease resistance)- for positive/negative control in agriculture, with attendant influence on global carbon cycle. The Plant Genome Program accomplishes the above through the following activities: # Sequence. Produce genome sequences of key plant (and algal) species to accelerate biofuel development and understand response to climate change. # Function. Develop datasets (and synthetic biology tools) to elucidate functional elements in plant genomes, with special focus on handful of flagship genomes. # Variation. Characterize natural genomic variation in plants (and their associated microbiomes), and relate to biofuel sustainability and adaptation to climate change. # Integration. Provide a centralized hub for the retrieval and deep integrated analysis of plant genome datasets.

Database of computationally predicted Transcription Factors and binding sites in gamma-proteobacterial genomes. The user may browse a map containing all known E. coli transcription factors and regulatory interactions that connect them, and retrieve information on the conservation of each regulatory interaction across the 30 organisms included in the database. Downloading the information is straightforward, and navigation tabs added to dynamic pages ease navigation between the five interfaces of the database. The original prediction approach, based on the representation of binding sites through statistical models was complemented by a new approach that uses known E. coli regulatory sites as the basis for a pattern matching search of regulatory sites. The use of both approaches together resulted in a more intensive exploration of the sequence space of each regulator's binding site. These data should aid researchers in the design of microarray experiments and the interpretation of their results. They should also facilitate studies of Comparative Genomics of the regulatory networks of this group of organisms.

http://operons.ibt.unam.mx/OperonPredictor/

The Prokaryotic Operon DataBase (ProOpDB) constitutes one of the most precise and complete repository of operon predictions in our days. Using our novel and highly accurate operon algorithm, we have predicted the operon structures of more than 1,200 prokaryotic genomes. ProOpDB offers diverse alternatives by which a set of operon predictions can be retrieved including: i) organism name, ii) metabolic pathways, as defined by the KEGG database, iii) gene orthology, as defined by the COG database, iv) conserved protein motifs, as defined by the Pfam database, v) reference gene, vi) reference operon, among others. In order to limit the operon output to non-redundant organisms, ProOpDB offers an efficient protocol to select the more representative organisms based on a precompiled phylogenetic distances matrix. In addition, the ProOpDB operon predictions are used directly as the input data of our Gene Context Tool (GeConT) to visualize their genomic context and retrieve the sequence of their corresponding 5�� regulatory regions, as well as the nucleotide or amino acid sequences of their genes. The prediction algorithm The algorithm is a multilayer perceptron neural network (MLP) classifier, that used as input the intergenic distances of contiguous genes and the functional relationship scores of the STRING database between the different groups of orthologous proteins, as defined in the COG database. Nevertheless, the operon prediction of our method is not restricted to only those genes with a COG assignation, since we successfully defined new groups of orthologous genes and obtained, by extrapolation, a set of equivalent STRING-like scores based on conserved gene pairs on different genomes. Since the STRING functional relationships scores are determined in an un-bias manner and efficiently integrates a large amount of information coming from different sources and kind of evidences, the prediction made by our MLP are considerably less influenced by the bias imposed in the training procedure using one specific organism.

Interactive database which incorporates a suite of tools designed to aid the interpretation of submicroscopic chromosomal imbalance. Used to enhance clinical diagnosis by retrieving information from bioinformatics resources relevant to the imbalance found in the patient. Contributing to the DECIPHER database is a Consortium, comprising an international community of academic departments of clinical genetics. Each center maintains control of its own patient data (which are password protected within the center''''s own DECIPHER project) until patient consent is given to allow anonymous genomic and phenotypic data to become freely viewable within Ensembl and other genome browsers. Once data are shared, consortium members are able to gain access to the patient report and contact each other to discuss patients of mutual interest, thus facilitating the delineation of new microdeletion and microduplication syndromes.

http://www.epilepsygenes.org/page/show/homepage

The Epilepsy Genetic Association Database (epiGAD) is an online repository of data relating to genetic association studies in the field of epilepsy. It summarizes the results of both published and unpublished studies, and is intended as a tool for researchers in the field to keep abreast of recent studies, providing a bird''s eye view of this research area. The goal of epiGAD is to collate all association studies in epilepsy in order to help researchers in this area identify all the available gene-disease associations. Finally, by including unpublished studies, it hopes to reduce the problem of publication bias and provide more accurate data for future meta-analyses. It is also hoped that epiGAD will foster collaboration between the different epilepsy genetics groups around the world, and faciliate formation of a network of investigators in epilepsy genetics. There are 4 databases within epiGAD: - the susceptibility genes database - the epilepsy pharmacogenetics database - the meta-analysis database - the genome-wide association studies (GWAS) database The susceptibility genes database compiles all studies related to putative epilepsy susceptibility genes (eg. interleukin-1-beta in TLE), while the pharmacogenetics studies in epilepsy (eg. ABCB1 studies) are stored in ''phamacogenetics''. The meta-analysis database compiles all existing published epilepsy genetic meta-analyses, whether for susceptibility genes, or pharmacogenetics. The GWAS database is currently empty, but will be filled once GWAS are published. Sponsors: The epiGAD website is supported by the ILAE Genetics Commission.

Collection of curated structural variation in the human genome. Catalogue of human genomic structural variation identified in healthy control samples for studies aiming to correlate genomic variation with phenotypic data. It is continuously updated with new data from peer reviewed research studies. The Database is no longer accepting direct submission of data as they are currently part of a collaboration with two new archival CNV databases at EBI and NCBI, called DGVa and dbVAR, respectively. One of the changes to DGV as part of this collaborative effort is that they will no longer be accepting direct submissions, but rather obtain the datasets from DGVa (short for DGV archive). This will ensure that the three databases are synchronized, and will allow for an official accessioning of variants.

http://www.broadinstitute.org/annotation/tetraodon/

This database have been funded by the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) to produce shotgun sequence of the Tetraodon nigriviridis genome. The strategy involves Whole Genome Shotgun (WGS) sequencing, in which sequence from the entire genome is generated. Whole genome shotgun libraries were prepared from Tetraodon genomic DNA obtained from the laboratory of Jean Weissenbach at Genoscope. Additional sequence data of approximately 2.5X coverage of Tetraodon has also been generated by Genoscope in plasmid and BAC end reads. Broad and Genoscope intend to pool their data and generate whole genome assemblies. Tetraodon nigroviridis is a freshwater pufferfish of the order Tetraodontiformes and lives in the rivers and estuaries of Indonesia, Malaysia and India. This species is 20-30 million years distant from Fugu rubripes, a marine pufferfish from the same family. The gene repertoire of T. nigroviridis is very similar to that of other vertebrates. However, its relatively small genome of 385 Mb is eight times more compact than that of human, mostly because intergenic and intronic sequences are reduced in size compared to other vertebrate genomes. These genome characteristics along with the large evolutionary distance between bony fish and mammals make Tetraodon a compact vertebrate reference genome - a powerful tool for comparative genetics and for quick and reliable identification of human genes.

http://snpselector.duhs.duke.edu/hqsnp36.html

This is the HQSNP DB (high-quality SNP database) developed by CHG bioinformatics group. The high-quality SNP is defined as a SNP having allele frequency or genotyping data. The majority of the HQSNPs come from HapMap, others come from JSNP (Japanese SNP database), TSC (The SNP Consortium), Affymetrix 120K SNP, and Perlegen SNP. There are four kinds of SNP search you can do: * Get SNPs by dbSNP rs#: Choose this search if you have already selected a list of SNPs and you just want to get the SNP information. The program will generate a Excel file containing the SNP flanking sequence, variation, quality, function, etc. In the Excel file, there are 10 highlighted fields. You can send only those highlighted information to Illumina to get SNP pre-score. (The same fields are presented in other types of searches as well.) * Get gene SNPs by gene names: Choose this search if you have a list of gene names and you want to get the SNP information in these genes. The gene name can be official gene symbol, Ensembl gene ID, RefSeq accession ID, LocusLink number, etc. * Get gene SNPs by genome regions: Choose this search if you have a list of genome regions and you want to get all gene SNP information in these regions. The software will find all the Ensembl genes in the regions and find SNPs associated to each Ensembl gene. * Get genome scan SNPs by genome regions: Choose this search if you have a list of genome regions and you want to get evenly spaced SNPs in these regions. A SNP selection tool (SNPselector) was built upon HQSNP. It took snp ID list, gene name list, or genome region list as input and searched SNPs for genome scan or gene assoctiation study. It could take an optional ABI SNP file (exported from ABI SNP search web page) as input for checking whether the candidate SNP is available from ABI. It could also take an optional Illumina SNP pre-score file as input to select SNP for Illumina SNP assay. It generated results sorted by tag SNP in LD block, SNP quality, SNP function, SNP regulatory potential, and SNP mutation risk. SNPselector is now retired from public use (as of September 30, 2010).

GELBANK is a government project that provides an interactive interface for the comparison of 2DE patterns in the context of proteome sequence queries. Only proteomes of species with completed genomes (bacterial genomes, some eukaryotic genomes, human proteome) are presented in the database. The image database also contains not only scanned images, but also modeled gel patterns representing a collection of images (e.g. a master pattern for a sample). 2DE gel patterns are grouped by: tissue type, sample type, staining method used, separation technique used in the first dimension (by charge), the pH-range of the media used in first dimension, technique used in the second dimension (by size). Tools pertinent to the querying of two-dimensional gel-electrophoresis are implemented and integrated into database. When searching for sequences, tools that allow allow the discovery of sequences and alignment of multiple sequences are presented. Individual 2DE gel-patterns can be displayed or a collection of patterns can be animated.

Database of functional annotation for alternatively spliced genes. It uses a gene-modeling algorithm that combines the genome-based expressed sequence tag (EST) clustering and graph-theoretic transcript assembly procedures. It contains genome, mRNA, and EST sequence data, as well as a genome browser application. Organisms included in the database are human, dog, chicken, fruit fly, mouse, rhesus, rat, worm, and zebrafish. Annotation is provided for the whole transcriptome, not just the alternatively spliced genes. Several viewers and applications are provided that are useful for the analysis of the transcript structure and gene expression. The summary viewer shows the gene summary and the essence of other annotation programs. The genome browser and the transcript viewer are available for comparing the gene structure of splice variants. Changes in the functional domains by alternative splicing can be seen at a glance in the transcript viewer. Two unique ways of analyzing gene expression is also provided. The SAGE tags deduced from the assembled transcripts are used to delineate quantitative expression patterns from SAGE libraries available publicly. The cDNA libraries of EST sequences in each cluster are used to infer qualitative expression patterns.
