http://mged.sourceforge.net/ontologies/MGEDontology.php
An ontology including concepts, definitions, terms, and resources for a standardized description of a microarray experiment in support of MAGE v.1. The MGED ontology is divided into the MGED Core ontology which is intended to be stable and in synch with MAGE v.1; and the MGED Extended ontology which adds further associations and classes not found in MAGE v.1. These terms will enable structure queries of elements of the experiments. Furthermore, the terms will also enable unambiguous descriptions of how the experiment was performed.

A collaborative ontology for the definition of sequence features used in biological sequence annotation. SO was initially developed by the Gene Ontology Consortium. Contributors to SO include the GMOD community, model organism database groups such as WormBase, FlyBase, Mouse Genome Informatics group, and institutes such as the Sanger Institute and the EBI. Input to SO is welcomed from the sequence annotation community. The OBO revision is available here: http://sourceforge.net/p/song/svn/HEAD/tree/ SO includes different kinds of features which can be located on the sequence. Biological features are those which are defined by their disposition to be involved in a biological process. Biomaterial features are those which are intended for use in an experiment such as aptamer and PCR_product. There are also experimental features which are the result of an experiment. SO also provides a rich set of attributes to describe these features such as polycistronic and maternally imprinted. The Sequence Ontologies use the OBO flat file format specification version 1.2, developed by the Gene Ontology Consortium. The ontology is also available in OWL from Open Biomedical Ontologies. This is updated nightly and may be slightly out of sync with the current obo file. An OWL version of the ontology is also available. The resolvable URI for the current version of SO is http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/so.owl.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on 05 01 2025. PhenX is a project to prioritize Phenotype and eXposure measures for Genome-wide Association Studies (GWAS). Leaders of the scientific community will assess and prioritize a broad range of domains relevant to genomics research and public health. The PhenX Steering Committee (SC), chaired by Dr. Jonathan Haines, provides leadership in the selection of domains and domain experts. Members of the SC include outstanding scientists from the research community and liaisons from the Institutes and Centers of the National Institutes of Health. Consensus measures for GWAS will have a direct impact on biomedical research and ultimately on public health. During the course of this project, up to 20 research domains will be examined, with up to 15 measures being recommended for use in future GWAS and other large-scale genomic research efforts. The goal is to maximize the benefits of future research by having comparable measures so that studies can be integrated. Each selected domain will be reviewed by a Working Group (WG) of scientists who are experts in the research area. A systematic review of the literature will guide the WGs selection of up to 15 high priority measures with standardized approaches for measurement. Selection criteria for the measures include factors such as validity, reproducibility, cost, feasibility, and burden to both investigators and participants. The scientific community will be asked to provide input on proposed measures. Consensus development is a key component of the project.

International collaboration producing an extensive public catalog of human genetic variation, including SNPs and structural variants, and their haplotype contexts, in an effort to provide a foundation for investigating the relationship between genotype and phenotype. The genomes of about 2500 unidentified people from about 25 populations around the world were sequenced using next-generation sequencing technologies. Redundant sequencing on various platforms and by different groups of scientists of the same samples can be compared. The results of the study are freely and publicly accessible to researchers worldwide. The consortium identified the following populations whose DNA will be sequenced: Yoruba in Ibadan, Nigeria; Japanese in Tokyo; Chinese in Beijing; Utah residents with ancestry from northern and western Europe; Luhya in Webuye, Kenya; Maasai in Kinyawa, Kenya; Toscani in Italy; Gujarati Indians in Houston; Chinese in metropolitan Denver; people of Mexican ancestry in Los Angeles; and people of African ancestry in the southwestern United States. The goal Project is to find most genetic variants that have frequencies of at least 1% in the populations studied. Sequencing is still too expensive to deeply sequence the many samples being studied for this project. However, any particular region of the genome generally contains a limited number of haplotypes. Data can be combined across many samples to allow efficient detection of most of the variants in a region. The Project currently plans to sequence each sample to about 4X coverage; at this depth sequencing cannot provide the complete genotype of each sample, but should allow the detection of most variants with frequencies as low as 1%. Combining the data from 2500 samples should allow highly accurate estimation (imputation) of the variants and genotypes for each sample that were not seen directly by the light sequencing. All samples from the 1000 genomes are available as lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs) and LCL derived DNA from the Coriell Cell Repository as part of the NHGRI Catalog. The sequence and alignment data generated by the 1000genomes project is made available as quickly as possible via their mirrored ftp sites. ftp://ftp.1000genomes.ebi.ac.uk ftp://ftp-trace.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1000genomes

http://trans.nih.gov/bmap/index.htm
The Brain Molecular Anatomy Project is a trans-NIH project aimed at understanding gene expression and function in the nervous system. BMAP has two major scientific goals: # Gene discovery: to catalog of all the genes expressed in the nervous system, under both normal and abnormal conditions. # Gene expression analysis: to monitor gene expression patterns in the nervous system as a function of cell type, anatomical location, developmental stage, and physiological state, and thus gain insight into gene function. In pursuit of these goals, BMAP has launched several initiatives to provide resources and funding opportunities for the scientific community. These include several Requests for Applications and Requests for Proposals, descriptions of which can be found in this Web site. BMAP is also in the process of establishing physical and electronic resources for the community, including repositories of cDNA clones for nervous system genes, and databases of gene expression information for the nervous system. Most of the BMAP initiatives so far have focused on the mouse as a model species because of the ease of experimental and genetic manipulation of this organism, and because many models of human disease are available in the mouse. However, research in humans, other mammalian species, non-mammalian vertebrates, and invertebrates is also being funded through BMAP. For the convenience of interested investigators, we have established this Web site as a central information resource, focusing on major NIH-sponsored funding opportunities, initiatives, genomic resources available to the research community, courses and scientific meetings related to BMAP initiatives, and selected reports and publications. When appropriate, we will also post initiatives not directly sponsored by BMAP, but which are deemed relevant to its goals. Posting decisions are made by the Trans-NIH BMAP Committee

The Stanford Human OligoGenome Project hosts a database of capture oligonucleotides for conducting high-throughput targeted resequencing of the human genome. This set of capture oligonucleotides covers over 92% of the human genome for build 37 / hg19 and over 99% of the coding regions defined by the Consensus Coding Sequence (CCDS). The capture reaction uses a highly multiplexed approach for selectively circularizing and capturing multiple genomic regions using the in-solution method developed in Natsoulis et al, PLoS One 2011. Combined pools of capture oligonucleotides selectively circularize the genomic DNA target, followed by specific PCR amplification of regions of interest using a universal primer pair common to all of the capture oligonucleotides. Unlike multiplexed PCR methods, selective genomic circularization is capable of efficiently amplifying hundreds of genomic regions simultaneously in multiplex without requiring extensive PCR optimization or producing unwanted side reaction products. Benefits of the selective genomic circularization method are the relative robustness of the technique and low costs of synthesizing standard capture oligonucleotide for selecting genomic targets.

A comprehensive encyclopedia of genomic functional elements in the model organisms C. elegans and D. melanogaster. modENCODE is run as a Research Network and the consortium is formed by 11 primary projects, divided between worm and fly, spanning the domains of gene structure, mRNA and ncRNA expression profiling, transcription factor binding sites, histone modifications and replacement, chromatin structure, DNA replication initiation and timing, and copy number variation. The raw and interpreted data from this project is vetted by a data coordinating center (DCC) to ensure consistency and completeness. The entire modENCODE data corpus is now available on the Amazon Web Services EC2 cloud. What this means is that virtual machines and virtual compute clusters that you run within the EC2 cloud can mount the modENCODE data set in whole or in part. Your software can run analyses against the data files directly without experiencing the long waits and logistics associated with copying the datasets over to your local hardware. You may also view the data using GBrowse, Dataset Search, or download the data via FTP, as well as download pre-release datasets.

PhenomeNet is a cross-species phenotype similarity network. It contains the experimentally observed phenotypes of multiple species as well as the phenotypes of human diseases. PhenomeNet provides a measure of phenotypic similarity between the phenotypes it contains. The latest release (from 22 June 2012) contains 124,730 complex phenotype nodes taken from the yeast, fish, worm, fly, rat, slime mold and mouse model organism databases as well as human disease phenotypes from OMIM and OrphaNet. The network is a complete graph in which edge weights represent the degree of phenotypic similarity. Phenotypic similarity can be used to identify and prioritize candidate disease genes, find genes participating in the same pathway and orthologous genes between species. To compute phenotypic similarity between two sets of phenotypes, we use a weighted Jaccard index. First, phenotype ontologies are used to infer all the implications of a phenotype observation using several phenotype ontologies. As a second step, the information content of each phenotype is computed and used as a weight in the Jaccard index. Phenotypic similarity is useful in several ways. Phenotypic similarity between a phenotype resulting from a genetic mutation and a disease can be used to suggest candidate genes for a disease. Phenotypic similarity can also identify genes in a same pathway or orthologous genes. PhenomeNet uses the axioms in multiple species-dependent phenotype ontologies to infer equivalent and related phenotypes across species. For this purpose, phenotype ontologies and phenotype annotations are integrated in a single ontology, and automated reasoning is used to infer equivalences. Specifically, for every phenotype, PhenomeNet infers the related mammalian phenotype and uses the Mammalian Phenotype Ontology for computing phenotypic similarity. Tools: * PhenomeBLAST - A tool for cross-species alignments of phenotypes * PhenomeDrug - method for drug-repurposing

The E. coli Genome Project has the goal of completely sequencing the E. coli and human genomes. They began isolation of an overlapping lambda clonebank of E. coli K-12 strain MG1655. Those clones served as the starting material in our initial efforts to sequence the whole genome. Improvements in sequencing technology have since reached the point where whole-genome sequencing of microbial genomes is routine, and the human genome has in fact been completed. They initiated additional sequencing efforts, concentrating on pathogenic members of the family Enterobacteriaceae -- to which E. coli belongs. They also began a systematic functional characterization of E. coli K-12 genes and their regulation, using the whole genome sequence to address how the over 4000 genes of this organism act together to enable its survival in a wide range of environments.
