THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on 8/12/13. Database to access and mine alternative splicing information coming from genomics and proteomics based on genome-wide analyses of alternative splicing in human (30 793 alternative splice relationships found) from detailed alignment of expressed sequences onto the genomic sequence. ASAP provides precise gene exon-intron structure, alternative splicing, tissue specificity of alternative splice forms, and protein isoform sequences resulting from alternative splicing. They developed an automated method for discovering human tissue-specific regulation of alternative splicing through a genome-wide analysis of expressed sequence tags (ESTs), which involves classifying human EST libraries according to tissue categories and Bayesian statistical analysis. They use the UniGene clusters of human Expressed Sequence Tags (ESTs) to identify splices. The UniGene EST's are clustered so that a single cluster roughly corresponds to a gene (or at least a part of a gene). A single EST represents a portion of a processed (already spliced) mRNA. A given cluster contains many ESTs, each representing an outcome of a series of splicing events. The ESTs in UniGene contain the different mRNA isoforms transcribed from an alternatively spliced gene. They are not predicting alternative splicing, but locating it based on EST analysis. The discovered splices are further analyzed to determine alternative splicing events. They have identified 6201 alternative splice relationships in human genes, through a genome-wide analysis of expressed sequence tags (ESTs). Starting with 2.1 million human mRNA and EST sequences, they mapped expressed sequences onto the draft human genome sequence and only accepted splices that obeyed the standard splice site consensus. After constructing a tissue list of 46 human tissues with 2 million human ESTs, they generated a database of novel human alternative splices that is four times larger than our previous report, and used Bayesian statistics to compare the relative abundance of every pair of alternative splices in these tissues. Using several statistical criteria for tissue specificity, they have identified 667 tissue-specific alternative splicing relationships and analyzed their distribution in human tissues. They have validated our results by comparison with independent studies. This genome-wide analysis of tissue specificity of alternative splicing will provide a useful resource to study the tissue-specific functions of transcripts and the association of tissue-specific variants with human diseases.

http://avis.princeton.edu/pixie/index.php

bioPIXIE is a general system for discovery of biological networks through integration of diverse genome-wide functional data. This novel system for biological data integration and visualization, allows you to discover interaction networks and pathways in which your gene(s) (e.g. BNI1, YFL039C) of interest participate. The system is based on a Bayesian algorithm for identification of biological networks based on integrated diverse genomic data. To start using bioPIXIE, enter your genes of interest into the search box. You can use ORF names or aliases. If you enter multiple genes, they can be separated by commas or returns. Press ''submit''. bioPIXIE uses a probabilistic Bayesian algorithm to identify genes that are most likely to be in the same pathway/functional neighborhood as your genes of interest. It then displays biological network for the resulting genes as a graph. The nodes in the graph are genes (clicking on each node will bring up SGD page for that gene) and edges are interactions (clicking on each edge will show evidence used to predict this interaction). Most likely, the first results to load on the results page will be a list of significant Gene Ontology terms. This list is calculated for the genes in the biological network created by the bioPIXIE algorithm. If a gene ontology term appears on this list with a low p-value, it is statistically significantly overrepresented in this biological network. As you move the mouse over genes in the network, interactions involving these genes are highlighted. If you click on any of the highlighted interactions graph, evidence pop-up window will appear. The Evidence pop-up lists all evidence for this interaction, with links to the papers that produced this evidence - clicking these links will bring up the relevant source citation(s) in PubMed. You may need to download the Adobe Scalable Vector Graphic (SVG) plugin to utilize the visualization tool (you will be prompted if you need it).

http://www.phenologs.org/

Database for identifying orthologous phenotypes (phenologs). Mapping between genotype and phenotype is often non-obvious, complicating prediction of genes underlying specific phenotypes. This problem can be addressed through comparative analyses of phenotypes. We define phenologs based upon overlapping sets of orthologous genes associated with each phenotype. Comparisons of >189,000 human, mouse, yeast, and worm gene-phenotype associations reveal many significant phenologs, including novel non-obvious human disease models. For example, phenologs suggest a yeast model for mammalian angiogenesis defects and an invertebrate model for vertebrate neural tube birth defects. Phenologs thus create a rich framework for comparing mutational phenotypes, identify adaptive reuse of gene systems, and suggest new disease genes. To search for phenologs, go to the basic search page and enter a list of genes in the box provided, using Entrez gene identifiers for mouse/human genes, locus ids for yeast (e.g., YHR200W), or sequence names for worm (e.g., B0205.3). It is expected that this list of genes will all be associated with a particular system, trait, mutational phenotype, or disease. The search will return all identified model organism/human mutational phenotypes that show any overlap with the input set of the genes, ranked according to their hypergeometric probability scores. Clicking on a particular phenolog will result in a list of genes associated with the phenotype, from which potential new candidate genes can identified. Currently known phenotypes in the database are available from the link labeled ''Find phenotypes'', where the associated gene can be submitted as queries, or alternately, can be searched directly from the link provided.

T-REX is a free, platform-independent online tool that allows for an integrated, rapid, and more robust analysis of T-RFLP data. Despite increasing popularity and improvements in terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) and other microbial community fingerprinting techniques, there are still numerous obstacles that hamper the analysis of these datasets. Many steps are required to process raw data into a format ready for analysis and interpretation. These steps can be time-intensive, error-prone, and can introduce unwanted variability into the analysis. Accordingly, we developed T-REX, free, online software for the processing and analysis of T-RFLP data. Analysis of T-RFLP data generated from a multiple-factorial study was performed with T-REX. With this software, we were able to i) label raw data with attributes related to the experimental design of the samples, ii) determine a baseline threshold for identification of true peaks over noise, iii) align terminal restriction fragments (T-RFs) in all samples (i.e., bin T-RFs), iv) construct a two-way data matrix from labeled data and process the matrix in a variety of ways, v) produce several measures of data matrix complexity, including the distribution of variance between main and interaction effects and sample heterogeneity, and vi) analyze a data matrix with the additive main effects and multiplicative interaction (AMMI) model.
