http://www.semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Semantic_MediaWiki

A free, open-source extension to MediaWiki - the wiki software that powers Wikipedia - that helps to search, organize, tag, browse, evaluate, and share the wiki''s content. While traditional wikis contain only text which computers can neither understand nor evaluate, SMW adds semantic annotations that allow a wiki to function as a collaborative database. Semantic MediaWiki introduces some additional markup into the wiki-text which allows users to add semantic annotations to the wiki. While this first appears to make things more complex, it can also greatly simplify the structure of the wiki, help users to find more information in less time, and improve the overall quality and consistency of the wiki. A large number of related extensions have been created that extend the ability to edit, display and browse through the data stored by SMW: the term Semantic MediaWiki is sometimes used to refer to this entire family of extensions.

http://eurofung.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=section&id=3&Itemid=4

The Eurofung project is a Coordination Action with the aim of developing a strategy to build up and maintain an integrated, sustainable European genomic database required for innovative genomics research of filamentous fungal model organisms of interest. This database will become a crystallization point for related systems and then could be integrated and conserved in a central European genomic database. The consortium counts 32 member laboratories, three of which have partner status. A Fungal Industrial Platform (FIP) of 13 members is also associated with the project. The project focuses on several filamentous fungi for different reasons. Aspergillus nidulans has a long record of use as a fungal model organism. Aspergillus niger, Trichoderma reesei and Penicillium chrysogenum are important cell factories used for the production of enzymes and metabolites including compounds such as Beta-lactams with benefits to human health. The human pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus serves not only as a model pathogen, but becomes more and more a serious threat to human health. The project contributes to create the conditions and facilities within Europe to widely apply all genomics technologies in filamentous fungal research. This will greatly expand our knowledge about filamentous fungi. This new genomics information will thus be beneficial to European biotechnology industries and help to improve the prevention and treatment of fungal disease. Expected results: The main results expected from this project are: - The contribution of the community to the manual annotation of important fungal genomes through annotation jamborees. - The realization of an integrated sustainable fungal genomic database through collaboration with bioinformatics centers and incorporation of the community data. - The realization of a fungal genomics knowledge base for the Eurofungbase community and the European fungal biotech industry through meetings, workshops and web-based information. - Intensified collaboration between the members of the network including the participating industries, thus strengthening the infrastructure for high quality fungal genomics research in Europe and furthermore determining joint research targets for the future. -Individualized training of a next generation of young scientists in fungal genomics and biotechnological research.

http://www.innatedb.com

Publicly available database of the genes, proteins, experimentally-verified interactions and signaling pathways involved in the innate immune response of humans, mice and bovines to microbial infection. The database captures coverage of the innate immunity interactome by integrating known interactions and pathways from major public databases together with manually-curated data into a centralized resource. The database can be mined as a knowledgebase or used with the integrated bioinformatics and visualization tools for the systems level analysis of the innate immune response. Although InnateDB curation focuses on innate immunity-relevant interactions and pathways, it also incorporates detailed annotation on the entire human, mouse and bovine interactomes by integrating data (178,000+ interactions & 3,900+ pathways) from several of the major public interaction and pathway databases. InnateDB also has integrated human, mouse and bovine orthology predictions generated using Ortholgue software. Ortholgue uses a phylogenetic distance-based method to identify possible paralogs in high-throughput orthology predictions. Integrated human and mouse conserved gene order and synteny information has also been determined to provide further support for orthology predictions. InnateDB Capabilities: * View statistics for manually-curated innate immunity relevant molecular interactions. New manually curated interactions are submitted weekly. * Search for genes and proteins of interest. * Search for experimentally-verified molecular interactions by gene/protein name, interaction type, cell type, etc. * Search genes/interactions belonging to 3,900 pathways. * Visualize interactions using an intuitive subcellular localization-based layout in Cerebral. * Upload your own list of genes along with associated gene expression data (from up to 10 experimental conditions) to interactively analyze this data in a molecular interaction network context. Once you have uploaded your data, you will be able to interactively visualize interaction networks with expression data overlaid; carry out Pathway, Gene Ontology and Transcription Factor Binding Site over-representation analyses; construct orthologous interaction networks in other species; and much more. * Access curated interaction data via a dedicated PSICQUIC webservice.
