Database for phylomes, that is, complete collections of phylogenetic trees for all proteins encoded in a given genome. It aims at providing a repository of high-quality phylogenies and alignments for proteins encoded in model species. To derive a phylome, each protein encoded in a given genome is used as a seed to retrieve its homologs in other complete genomes. These sequences are aligned and processed to derive reliable phylogenies using several phylogenetic methods. Besides providing the evolutionary history of the gene families, phylomeDB includes phylogeny based predictions of orthology and paralogy relationships., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 16,2025.

A publicly available database resource containing the assembled partial genomes for ~700 eukaryotic organisms. Partial genomes are generated from expressed sequence tag datasets containing more than 1000 sequences. PartiGeneDB allows users to view sets of genes and identify genes of interest in organisms for which a full genome is not currently available. PartiGeneDB is automatically updated to include new organism datasets as they are generated. PartiGeneDB provides four portals of entry into the database. It is hosted and supported by the Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto. In addition to providing a comprehensive resource facilitating comparative analyses, PartiGeneDB allows researchers to access the partial genomes of organisms that may not be available elsewhere. However, we recommend and encourage users interested in exploring datasets from a single organism in more depth, that you visit the specific web sites associated with the sequencing effort associated with that organism .

This database functions both as a website where researchers can look for information on their targets of interest; and as a tool for prioritization of targets in whole genomes. Using the database as a tool, researchers can quickly prioritize a genome of interest by performing any number of individual queries on a species of interest, then assigning numerical weights to each query (in the history page) to finally obtain a ranked list of genes by combining the weighted queries. This site is part of a WHO/TDR project seeking to exploit the availability of diverse datasets to facilitate the identification and prioritization of drug targets in pathogens causing neglected diseases.

Alternative splicing essentially increases the diversity of the transcriptome and has important implications for physiology, development and the genesis of diseases. This resource uses a different approach to investigate alternative splicing (instead of the conventional case-by case fashion) and integrates all transcripts derived from a gene into a single splicing graph. ASG is a database of splicing graphs for human genes, using transcript information from various major sources (Ensembl, RefSeq, STACK, TIGR and UniGene). Each transcript corresponds to a path in the graph, and alternative splicing is displayed by bifurcations. This representation preserves the relationships between different splicing variants and allows us to investigate systematically all possible putative transcripts. Web interface allows users to display the splicing graphs, to interactively assemble transcripts and to access their sequences as well as neighboring genomic regions. ASG also provide for each gene, an exhaustive pre-computed catalog of putative transcriptsin total more than 1.2 million sequences. It has found that ~65 of the investigated genes show evidence for alternative splicing, and in 5 of the cases, a single gene might produce over 100 transcripts.

http://swift.cmbi.ru.nl/gv/pdbfinder/
It is a very information rich protein structure database. Unfortunately, the PDB people are not very good at making their data available for search engines. There are several reasons why search engines often fail on the PDB: * The PDB has zillions of small administrative errors * The PDB-format is search-engine unfriendly * Many PDB files are incomplete The PDBFINDER project is a possible solution to these problems. The PDBFINDER holds for each PDB file a structured, search-engine-friendly-formatted entry that holds the data-items most likely needed for people search for certain types of PDB entries. The PDBFINDER is not useful to search in atomic coordinates; it is meant to ad searches in the administrative records of PDB files. Originally, the PDBFINDER was just for searching in PDB files. However, as all the time more people are using the PDBFINDER to aid modelling and database projects, they decided to also produce the so-called PDBFINDER2. The PDBFINDER2 also holds a lot of quality information about the PDB entries. Please only use the PDBFINDER2 if you really need that quality determination aspect because the PDBFINDER2 is five times bigger than the original PDBFINDER.

hiPathDB is an integrated pathway database that combines the curated human pathway data of NCI-Nature PID, Reactome, BioCarta and KEGG. In total, it includes 1661 pathways consisting of 8976 distinct physical entities. (2010.03.09) hiPathDB provides two different types of integration. The pathway-level integration, conceptually a simple collection of individual pathways, was achieved by devising an elaborate model that takes distinct features of four databases into account and subsequently reformatting all pathways in accordance with our model. The entity-level integration creates a single unified pathway that encompasses all pathways by merging common components. Even though the detailed molecular-level information such as complex formation or post-translational modifications tends to be lost, such integration makes it possible to investigate signaling network over the entire pathways and allows identification of pathway cross-talks. Another strong merit of hiPathDB is the built-in pathway visualization module that supports explorative studies of complex networks in an interactive fashion. The layout algorithm is optimized for virtually automatic visualization of the pathways.

CleanEx is a database which provides access to public gene expression data via unique approved gene symbols and which represents heterogeneous expression data produced by different technologies in a way that facilitates joint analysis and cross-dataset comparisons. To achieve this goal, each single gene expression experiment is regularly mapped on a permanent target identifier consisting of a physical description of the targeted RNA. There is one entry per gene. To have a complete view of the transcript and its product, we also link each entry to the corresponding protein. We further provide the genomic position of the transcription start site from EPD, when available. Otherwise we give the annotated start site position in Ensembl.

MBGD is a database for comparative analysis of completely sequenced microbial genomes, the number of which is now growing rapidly. The aim of MBGD is to facilitate comparative genomics from various points of view such as ortholog identification, paralog clustering, motif analysis and gene order comparison. The heart of MBGD function is to create orthologous or homologous gene cluster table. For this purpose, similarities between all genes are precomputed and stored into the database, in addition to the annotations of genes such as function categories that were assigned by the original authors and motifs that were found in the translated sequence. Using these homology data, MBGD dynamically creates orthologous gene cluster table. Users can change a set of organisms or cutoff parameters to create their own orthologous grouping. Based on this cluster table, users can further analyze multiple genomes from various points of view with the functions such as global map comparison, local map comparison, multiple sequence alignment and phylogenetic tree construction.
