MedBlast Resource Report Resource Website 1+ mentions |
MedBlast (RRID:SCR_008202) | software resource | THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented August 29, 2016. An algorithm that finds articles most relevant to a genetic sequence. In the genomic era, researchers often want to know more information about a biological sequence by retrieving its related articles. However, there is no available tool yet to achieve conveniently this goal. Here, a new literature-mining tool MedBlast is developed, which uses natural language processing techniques, to retrieve the related articles of a given sequence. An online server of this program is also provided. The genome sequencing projects generate such a large amount of data every day that many molecular biologists often encounter some sequences that they know nothing about. Literature is usually the principal resource of such information. It is relatively easy to mine the articles cited by the sequence annotation; however, it is a difficult task to retrieve those relevant articles without direct citation relationship. The related articles are those described in the given sequence (gene/protein), or its redundant sequences, or the close homologs in various species. They can be divided into two classes: direct references, which include those either cited by the sequence annotation or citing the sequence in its text; indirect references, those which contain gene symbols of the given sequence. A few additional issues make the task even more complicated: (1) symbols may have aliases; and (2) one sequence may have a couple of relatives that we want to take into account too, which include redundant (e.g. protein and gene sequences) and close homologs. Here the issues are addressed by the development of the software MedBlast, which can retrieve the related articles of the given sequence automatically. MedBlast uses BLAST to extend homology relationships, precompiled species-specific thesauruses, a useful semantics technique in natural language processing (NLP), to extend alias relationship, and EUtilities toolset to search and retrieve corresponding articles of each sequence from PubMed. MedBlast take a sequence in FASTA format as input. The program first uses BLAST to search the GenBank nucleic acid and protein non-redundant (nr) databases, to extend to those homologous and corresponding nucleic acid and protein sequences. Users can input the BLAST results directly, but it is recommended to input the result of both protein and nucleic acid nr databases. The hits with low e-values are chosen as the relatives because the low similarity hits often do not contain specific information. Very long sequences, e.g. 100k, which are usually genomic sequences, are discarded too, for they do not contain specific direct references. User can adjust these parameters to meet their own needs. | gene, article, biological, data, genome, genomic, homolog, literature, medline interfaces, mining, molecular, protein, sequence, specie | National Natural Science Foundation of China 39990600-03; Knowledge Innovation Program of the Chinese Academy of Sciences KSCX2-2-07; Knowledge Innovation Program of the Chinese Academy of Sciences KJCX1-08 |

Human Potential Tumor Associated Antigen database Resource Report Resource Website 1+ mentions |
Human Potential Tumor Associated Antigen database (RRID:SCR_002938) | data or information resource, database | To accelerate the process of tumor antigen discovery, we generated a publicly available Human Potential Tumor Associated Antigen database (HPtaa) with pTAAs identified by insilico computing. 3518 potential targets have been included in the database, which is freely available to academic users. It successfully screened out 41 of 82 known Cancer-Testis antigens, 6 of 18 differentiation antigen, 2 of 2 oncofetal antigen, and 7 of 12 FDA approved cancer markers that have Gene ID, therefore will provide a good platform for identification of cancer target genes. This database utilizes expression data from various expression platforms, including carefully chosen publicly available microarray expression data, GEO SAGE data, Unigene expression data. In addition, other relevant databases required for TAA discovery such as CGAP, CCDS, gene ontology database etc, were also incorporated. In order to integrate different expression platforms together, various strategies and algorithms have been developed. Known tumor antigens are gathered from literature and serve as training sets. A total tumor specificity penalty was computed from positive clue penalty for differential expression in human cancers, the corresponding differential ratio, and normal tissue restriction penalty for each gene. We hope this database will help with the process of cancer immunome identification, thus help with improving the diagnosis and treatment of human carcinomas. | cancer, tumor, tumor-associated antigen | has parent organization: Chinese Academy of Sciences; Beijing; China | National 863 program in China 2001AA215411; National Natural Science Foundation of China 30531160045; National Natural Science Foundation of China 30570393; Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research KSP 003 |

Input can be 2D GIfTI, 3D or 4D NIfTI images, but also on time series matrices/vectors. Output are three HRF shape parameters for each voxel/vertex, plus deconvolved time series, and number of retrieved pseudo events. All can be written back to GIfTI or NIfTI images. | hemodynamic response function, HRF estimation and deconvolution, resting state BOLD signal, GIfTI images, NIfTI images, brain | National Natural Science Foundation of China ; Fund for Scientific Research-Flanders ; European Union Horizon 2020 Framework Programme |
