SciCrunch Registry is a curated repository of scientific resources, with a focus on biomedical resources, including tools, databases, and core facilities - visit SciCrunch to register your resource.
Repository of biochemical, genetic, and structural information about DNA Polymerases. Polbase is designed to compile detailed results of polymerase experimentation, presenting them in a dynamic view to inform further research. After validation, results from references are displayed in context with relevant experimental details and are always traceable to their source publication. Polbase is connected to other resources, including PubMed, UniProt and the RCSB Protein Data Bank, to provide multi-faceted views of polymerase knowledge. In addition to a simple web interface, Polbase data is exposed for custom analysis by external software.

Raw data from various QTL (quantitative trait loci) studies using rodent inbred line crosses. Data are available in the .csv format used by R/qtl and pseudomarker programs. In some cases analysis scripts and/or results are posted to accompany the data. These data are provided as a courtesy to the genetic mapping community and may be used for purposes of developing or testing new analysis methods or software and for meta-analysis of quantitative traits. The authors of the datasets retain individual ownership of the data. As a courtesy to the authors, please alert them in advance of any publications that result from reanalysis of these data or obtain permission prior to redistribution of data or results. In all data sets and files, the marker locations have been translated to Cox build 37 coordinates unless otherwise stated. Please consider contributing your data to the QTL Archive.

http://compgen.bscb.cornell.edu/phast/
A freely available software package for comparative and evolutionary genomics that consists of about half a dozen major programs, plus more than a dozen utilities for manipulating sequence alignments, phylogenetic trees, and genomic annotations. For the most part, PHAST focuses on two kinds of applications: the identification of novel functional elements, including protein-coding exons and evolutionarily conserved sequences; and statistical phylogenetic modeling, including estimation of model parameters, detection of signatures of selection, and reconstruction of ancestral sequences. It consists of over 60,000 lines of C code.

The RNA modification database provides a comprehensive listing of posttranscriptionally modified nucleosides from RNA. Information provided for each nucleoside includes: the type of RNA in which it occurs and phylogenetic distribution; common chemical name and symbol; Chemical Abstracts registry number and index name; chemical structure; initial literature citations for structural characterization or occurrence, and for chemical synthesis. Both the structural diversity and extent of posttranscriptional modification in RNA is remarkable, with 107 different nucleosides presently known in all types of RNA. The discovery of new modified nucleosides as well as increasing knowledge of the array of functional roles of modification, based largely on extensive studies of tRNA, mandates a need for a comprehensive database of RNA nucleosides. The RNA Modification Database is maintained as an extension of the initial version published in mid-1994. The database consists of all RNA-derived ribonucleosides of known structure, including those from established sequence positions, as well as those detected or characterized from hydrolysates of RNA. The information provided permits access to the modified nucleoside literature through provision of both computer-searchable Chemical Abstracts registry numbers and key literature citations. This database also provides an historical record of the initial reports of occurrence, characterization and chemical synthesis of modified nucleosides from RNA. It is our judgement that the total number of RNA nucleosides listed, and the chemical structures reported, are very accurate. However, the distributions listed are in some cases a matter of concern, due primarily to the possibility of inhomogeneity of the RNA isolate and the use of methods of nucleoside identification that are not sufficiently rigorous. Reinvestigation of some of the unusual or single-report source distributions is warranted, and will likely lead to future refinements in the listings. The authors invite comments concerning new entries, errors or omissions and on the format presently used for electronic access to the database.

Curated, relational database containing sequence, classification, structural, functional and evolutionary information about transport systems from variety of living organisms based on IUBMB-approved transporter classification (TC) system. Descriptions, TC numbers, and examples of over 600 families of transport proteins are provided. TC system is analogous to Enzyme Commission (EC) system for classification of enzymes, except that it incorporates both functional and phylogenetic information. TCDB users may submit their own sequenced proteins and descriptions for inclusion into database. The software tools used are all freely available for download. These programs are used for analysis of Protein and DNA sequences. Programs require UNIX server to run.

An integrated text mining / natural language processing system based on the Unstructured Information Management Architecture (UIMA) Framework. It allows interoperability of text mining tools and allows the creation of text mining workflows, comparison and visualization of tools. U-Compare can be launched straight from the web or downloaded. As the name implies comparison of components and workflows is a central feature of the system. U-Compare allows sets of components to be run in parallel on the same inputs and then automatically generates statistics for all possible combinations of these components. Once a workflow has been created in U-Compare it can be exported and shared with other users or used with other UIMA compatible tools and so in addition to comparison, U-Compare also functions as a general purpose workflow creation tool. It contains a repository of 50+ biomedical text mining components. These components are included in the U-Compare single-click-to-launch package, ready to use by just drag-and-drop. You can also use this repository independent from the U-Compare system. Link with Taverna It has a link with Taverna for scientific workflows, http://bioinformatics.oxfordjournals.org/content/26/19/2486.abstract, where you can use U-Compare and its workflow from within the Taverna workflow. There are two ways, the U-Compare Taverna plugin and the U-Compare command line mode as a Taverna activity. We have recently integrated it with Peter Murray-Rust''''s OSCAR for Chemistry (see http://www.nactem.ac.uk/cheta/) Web Demo: http://www.nactem.ac.uk/software/cheta/
