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.
Computable knowledge regarding functions of genes and gene products. GO resources include biomedical ontologies that cover molecular domains of all life forms as well as extensive compilations of gene product annotations to these ontologies that provide largely species-neutral, comprehensive statements about what gene products do. Used to standardize representation of gene and gene product attributes across species and databases.

Interaction database from international collaboration between major public interaction data providers who share curation effort and develop set of curation rules when capturing data from both directly deposited interaction data or from publications in peer reviewed journals. Performs complete curation of all protein-protein interactions experimentally demonstrated within publication and makes them available in single search interface on common website. Provides data in standards compliant download formats. IMEx partners produce their own separate resources, which range from all encompassing molecular interaction databases, such as are maintained by IntAct, MINT and DIP, organism-centric resources such as BioGrid or MPIDB or biological domain centric, such as MatrixDB. They have committed to making records available, via PSICQUIC webservice, which have been curated to IMEx rules and are available to users as single, non-redundant set of curated publications which can be searched at the IMEx website. Data is made available in standards-compliant tab-deliminated and XML formats, enabling to visualize data using wide range of tools. Consortium is open to participation of additional partners and encourages deposition of data, prior to publication, and will supply unique accession numbers which may be referenced within final article. Submitters may send their data directly to any of member databases using variety of formats, but should conform to guidelines as to minimum information required to describe data.

A tool set for pathway-based data integration and visualization. It maps and renders a wide variety of biological data on relevant pathway graphs. All users need is to supply their data and specify the target pathway. Pathview automatically downloads the pathway graph data, parses the data file, maps user data to the pathway, and render pathway graph with the mapped data. In addition, Pathview also seamlessly integrates with pathway and gene set (enrichment) analysis tools for large-scale and fully automated analysis.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on November 24,2025. Publicly available web-server to predict medical indication areas based on properties and similarity of chemical compounds. The web-server translates a user-defined molecule into a structural fingerprint that is compared to about 6300 drugs, which are enriched by 7300 links to molecular targets of the drugs, derived through text mining followed by manual curation. Links to the affected pathways are provided. The similarity to the medical compounds is expressed by the Tanimoto coefficient that gives the structural similarity of two compounds. A similarity score higher than 0.85 results in correct ATC prediction for 81% of all cases. As the biological effect is well predictable, if the structural similarity is sufficient, the web-server allows prognoses about the medical indication area of novel compounds and to find new leads for known targets. The combination of physicochemical property and similarity searching provides the possibility to detect new biologically active compounds and novel targets for drug-like compounds. SuperPred can be applied for drug repositioning purposes, too. A further intention of SuperPred is to find side effects elicited by drugs caused through off-target hits.

A Support Vector Machine-based classifier to assesses the protein-coding potential of a transcript based on six biologically meaningful sequence features. CPC can discriminate coding from noncoding transcripts with high accuracy and speed. In addition to predicting the coding potential of the input transcripts, the CPC web server also graphically displays detailed sequence features and additional annotations of the transcript that may facilitate users' further investigation. The coding potential calculator tool reads FASTA data format as input.

http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/devel/bioc/html/DMRforPairs.html
Software for identifying differentially methylated regions between unique samples using array based methylation profiles. It allows researchers to compare n greater than or equal to 2 unique samples with regard to their methylation profile. The (pairwise) comparison of n unique single samples distinguishesit from other existing pipelines as these often compare groups of samples in either single CpG locus or region based analysis. DMRforPairs defines regions of interest as genomic ranges with sufficient probes located in close proximity to each other. Probes in one region are optionally annotated to the same functional class(es). Differential methylation is evaluated by comparing the methylation values within each region between individual samples and (if the difference is sufficiently large), testing this difference formally for statistical significance.

ToppGene Suite is a one-stop portal for gene list enrichment analysis and candidate gene prioritization based on functional annotations and protein interactions network. ToppGene Suite is a one-stop portal for (i) gene list functional enrichment, (ii) candidate gene prioritization using either functional annotations or network analysis and (iii) identification and prioritization of novel disease candidate genes in the interactome. Functional annotation-based disease candidate gene prioritization uses a fuzzy-based similarity measure to compute the similarity between any two genes based on semantic annotations. The similarity scores from individual features are combined into an overall score using statistical meta-analysis.
