GOtcha provides a prediction of a set of GO terms that can be associated with a given query sequence. Each term is scored independently and the scores calibrated against reference searches to give an accurate percentage likelihood of correctness. These results can be displayed graphically. Why is GOtcha different to what is already out there and why should you be using it? * GOtcha uses a method where it combines information from many search hits, up to and including E-values that are normally discarded. This gives much better sensitivity than other methods. * GOtcha provides a score for each individual term, not just the leaf term or branch. This allows the discrimination between confident assignments that one would find at a more general level and the more specific terms that one would have lower confidence in. * The scores GOtcha provides are calibrated to give a real estimate of correctness. This is expressed as a percentage, giving a result that non-experts are comfortable in interpreting. * GOtcha provides graphical output that gives an overview of the confidence in, or potential alternatives for, particular GO term assignments. The tool is currently web-based; contact David Martin for details of the standalone version. Platform: Online tool

This database presents the entire DNA sequence of the first diploid genome sequence of a Han Chinese, a representative of Asian population. The genome, named as YH, represents the start of YanHuang Project, which aims to sequence 100 Chinese individuals in 3 years. It was assembled based on 3.3 billion reads (117.7Gbp raw data) generated by Illumina Genome Analyzer. In total of 102.9Gbp nucleotides were mapped onto the NCBI human reference genome (Build 36) by self-developed software SOAP (Short Oligonucleotide Alignment Program), and 3.07 million SNPs were identified. The personal genome data is illustrated in a MapView, which is powered by GBrowse. A new module was developed to browse large-scale short reads alignment. This module enabled users track detailed divergences between consensus and sequencing reads. In total of 53,643 HGMD recorders were used to screen YH SNPs to retrieve phenotype related information, to superficially explain the donor's genome. Blast service to align query sequences against YH genome consensus was also provided.

IGDB.NSCLC database is aiming to facilitate and prioritize identified lung cancer genes and microRNAs for pathological and mechanistic studies of lung tumorigenesis and for developing new strategies for clinical interventions. We integrated and curated various lung cancer genomic datasets to present # lung cancer genes with somatic mutations, experimental supports and statistic significance in association with clinicopathological features; # genomic alterations with copy number alterations (CNA) detected by high density SNP arrays, gain or loss regions detected by arrayed comparative genome hybridization (aCGH), and loss of heterozygosity (LOH) detected by microsatellite markers; # aberrant expression of genes and microRNAs detected by various microarrays. IGDB.NSCLC database provides user friendly interfaces and searching functions to display multiple layers of evidence for detecting lung cancer target genes and microRNAs, especially emphasizing on concordant alterations: # genes with altered expression located in the CNA regions; # microRNAs with altered expression located in the CNA regions; # somatic mutation genes located in the CNA regions; and # genes associated with clinicopathological features located in the CNA regions. These concordant altered genes and miRNAs should be prioritized for further basic and clinical studies.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on July 16, 2013. It contains information about segmental duplications in the genomes of chimpanzee, mouse, and rat. The criteria used to identify regions of segmental duplication are: * Sequence identity of at least 90% * Sequence length of at least 5 kb * Not be entirely composed of repetitive elements. BACKGROUND: The high quality of the mouse genome draft sequence and its associated annotations are an invaluable biological resource. Identifying recent duplications in the mouse genome, especially in regions containing genes, may highlight important events in recent murine evolution. In addition, detecting recent sequence duplications can reveal potentially problematic regions of the genome assembly. We use BLAST-based computational heuristics to identify large (>/= 5 kb) and recent (>/= 90% sequence identity) segmental duplications in the mouse genome sequence. Here we present a database of recently duplicated regions of the mouse genome found in the mouse genome sequencing consortium (MGSC) February 2002 and February 2003 assemblies. RESULTS: We determined that 33.6 Mb of 2,695 Mb (1.2%) of sequence from the February 2003 mouse genome sequence assembly is involved in recent segmental duplications, which is less than that observed in the human genome (around 3.5-5%). From this dataset, 8.9 Mb (26%) of the duplication content consisted of "unmapped" chromosome sequence. Moreover, we suspect that an additional 18.5 Mb of sequence is involved in duplication artifacts arising from sequence misassignment errors in this genome assembly. By searching for genes that are located within these regions, we identified 675 genes that mapped to duplicated regions of the mouse genome. Sixteen of these genes appear to have been duplicated independently in the human genome. From our dataset we further characterized a 42 kb recent segmental duplication of Mater, a maternal-effect gene essential for embryogenesis in mice. CONCLUSION: Our results provide an initial analysis of the recently duplicated sequence and gene content of the mouse genome. Many of these duplicated loci, as well as regions identified to be involved in potential sequence misassignment errors, will require further mapping and sequencing to achieve accuracy. A Genome Browser database was set up to display the identified duplication content presented in this work. This data will also be relevant to the growing number of investigators who use the draft genome sequence for experimental design and analysis. The segmental duplication data and summary statistics are available for download and can also be visualized in a genome browser in the GBrowse section. Selected annotation tracks (except the segmental duplication track) have also been obtained from UCSC and loaded into the genome browser. Detailed information (e.g. overlapping genes, overlapping clones, detailed alignment) can be obtained by clicking on a duplication cluster in GBrowse. Both keyword search and BLAT search are available. Analyses based on previous genome assemblies can be found in the Previous Analyses section. Recent Developments The Non-Human Genome Segmental Duplication Database is continually updated including the archived copies of the analysis of all previous genome assemblies and will include all new species as they become available.

ProPortal is a database containing genomic, metagenomic, transcriptomic and field data for the marine cyanobacterium Prochlorococcus. Our goal is to provide a source of cross-referenced data across multiple scales of biological organization--from the genome to the ecosystem--embracing the full diversity of ecotypic variation within this microbial taxon, its sister group, Synechococcus and phage that infect them. The site currently contains the genomes of 13 Prochlorococcus strains, 11 Synechococcus strains and 28 cyanophage strains that infect one or both groups. Cyanobacterial and cyanophage genes are clustered into orthologous groups that can be accessed by keyword search or through a genome browser. Users can also identify orthologous gene clusters shared by cyanobacterial and cyanophage genomes. Gene expression data for Prochlorococcus ecotypes MED4 and MIT9313 allow users to identify genes that are up or downregulated in response to environmental stressors. In addition, the transcriptome in synchronized cells grown on a 24-h light-dark cycle reveals the choreography of gene expression in cells in a ''natural'' state. Metagenomic sequences from the Global Ocean Survey from Prochlorococcus, Synechococcus and phage genomes are archived so users can examine the differences between populations from diverse habitats. Finally, an example of cyanobacterial population data from the field is included.

http://bioinformatics.biol.uoa.gr/cuticleDB
A relational database containing all structural proteins of Arthropod cuticle identified to date. Many come from direct sequencing of proteins isolated from cuticle and from sequences from cDNAs that share common features with these authentic cuticular proteins. It also includes proteins from the five sequenced genomes where manual annotation has been applied to cuticular proteins: Anopheles gambiae, Apis mellifera, Bombyx mori, Drosophila melanogaster, and Nasonia vitripennis. Some sequences were confirmed as authentic cuticular proteins because protein sequencing revealed that they were present in cuticle; others were identified by sequence homology and other criteria. Entries provides information about whether sequences are putative or authentic cuticular proteins. CuticleDB was primarily designed to contain correct and full annotation of cuticular protein data. The database will be of help to future genome annotators. Users will be able to test hypotheses for the existence of known and also of yet unknown motifs in cuticular proteins. An analysis of motifs may contribute to understanding how proteins contribute to the physical properties of cuticle as well as to the precise nature of their interaction with chitin.

Database about gene regulation and gene expression in prokaryotes. It includes a manually curated and unique collection of transcription factor binding sites. A variety of bioinformatics tools for the prediction, analysis and visualization of regulons and gene reglulatory networks is included. The integrated approach provides information about molecular networks in prokaryotes with focus on pathogenic organisms. In detail this concerns: * transcriptional regulation (transcription factors and their DNA binding sites * signal transduction (two-component systems, phosphylation cascades) * protein interactions (complex formation, oligomerization) * biochemical pathways (chemical reactions) * other regulation events (e.g. codon usage, etc. ...) It aims to be a resource to model protein-host interactions and to be a suitable platform to analyze high-throughput data from proteomis and transcriptomics experiments (systems biology). Currently it mainly contains detailed information about operon and promoter structures including huge collections of transcription factor binding sites. If an appropriate number of regulatory binding sites is available, a position weight matrix (PWM) and a sequence logo is provided, which can be used to predict new binding sites. This data is collected manually by screening the original scientific literature. PRODORIC also handles protein-protein interactions and signal-transduction cascades that commonly occur in form of two-component systems in prokaryotes. Furthermore it contains metabolic network data imported from the KEGG database., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 16,2025.
