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.

A collection of high quality multiple sequence alignments for objective, comparative studies of alignment algorithms. The alignments are constructed based on 3D structure superposition and manually refined to ensure alignment of important functional residues. A number of subsets are defined covering many of the most important problems encountered when aligning real sets of proteins. It is specifically designed to serve as an evaluation resource to address all the problems encountered when aligning complete sequences. The first release provided sets of reference alignments dealing with the problems of high variability, unequal repartition and large N/C-terminal extensions and internal insertions. Version 2.0 of the database incorporates three new reference sets of alignments containing structural repeats, trans-membrane sequences and circular permutations to evaluate the accuracy of detection/prediction and alignment of these complex sequences.
Within the resource, users can look at a list of all the alignments, download the whole database by ftp, get the "c" program to compare a test alignment with the BAliBASE reference (The source code for the program is freely available), or look at the results of a comparison study of several multiple alignment programs, using BAliBASE reference sets.

It's strategy involves Whole Genome Shotgun (WGS) sequencing, in which sequence from the entire genome is generated and reassembled. This method is standard for microbial genome sequencing, and has been successfully applied to Drosophila. Neurospora is an ideal candidate for this approach because of the low repeat content of the genome. Neurospora crassa Database has expanded the scope of its database by including a mitochondrial annotation, incorporating information from the Neurospora compendium, and assigning NCU numbers to tRNA and rRNAs. They have improved the annotation process to predict untranslated regions and to reduce the number of spurious predictions. As a result, version 3 contains 9,826 genes, 794 fewer than version 2. During the initial phase of a WGS project they sequence both ends of the 4 kb inserts from a plasmid library prepared using randomly sheared and sized-selected DNA. The shotgun reads are assembled by recognizing overlapping regions of sequence and making use of the knowledge of the orientation and distance of the paired reads from each plasmid. Obtaining deep sequence coverage though high levels of sequence redundancy assures that the majority of the genome is represented in the initial assembly and that the consensus sequence is of high quality. Their approach toward the initial assembly was conservative, meaning they would rather fail to join sequence contigs that might overlap each other than risk making false joins between two closely related but non-overlapping genomic regions. Hence, the initial assembly contains many sequence contigs and over time these contigs will increase in size and decrease in number as they are joined together. After shotgun sequencing and assembly there was a second phase of sequencing in which additional sequence was obtained from specific regions that were missing from the original assembly or are recognized to be of low quality in the consensus. The Neurospora crassa sequencing project reflects a close collaboration between the Broad Institute and the Neurospora research community. Principal investigators include Bruce Birren and Chad Nusbaum from the Broad Institute, Matt Sachs at the Oregon Graduate Institute of Science and Technology, Chuck Staben at the University of Kentucky and Jak Kinsey at the Fungal Genetics Stock Center at the University of Kansas Medical Center. In addition, we have a larger Advisory Board made up of a number of Neurospora researchers. Sponsors: They have been funded by the National Science Foundation to sequence the N. crassa genome and make the information publicly available.
