A large database of CATH protein domain assignments for ENSEMBL genomes and Uniprot sequences. Gene3D is a resource of form studying proteins and the component domains. Gene3D takes CATH domains from Protein Databank (PDB) structures and assigns them to the millions of protein sequences with no PDB structures using Hidden Markov models. Assigning a CATH superfamily to a region of a protein sequence gives information on the gross 3D structure of that region of the protein. CATH superfamilies have a limited set of functions and so the domain assignment provides some functional insights. Furthermore most proteins have several different domains in a specific order, so looking for proteins with a similar domain organization provides further functional insights. Strict confidence cut-offs are used to ensure the reliability of the domain assignments. Gene3D imports functional information from sources such as UNIPROT, and KEGG. They also import experimental datasets on request to help researchers integrate there data with the corpus of the literature. The website allows users to view descriptions for both single proteins and genes and large protein sets, such as superfamilies or genomes. Subsets can then be selected for detailed investigation or associated functions and interactions can be used to expand explorations to new proteins. The Gene3D web services provide programmatic access to the CATH-Gene3D annotation resources and in-house software tools. These services include Gene3DScan for identifying structural domains within protein sequences, access to pre-calculated annotations for the major sequence databases, and linked functional annotation from UniProt, GO and KEGG., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 16,2025.

Gene Expression Atlas is a semantically enriched database of meta-analysis based summary statistics over a curated subset of ArrayExpress Archive, servicing queries for condition-specific gene expression patterns as well as broader exploratory searches for biologically interesting genes/samples. The EBI Gene Expression Atlas Blog discusses ideas, features and problems of creating a large scale meta-analytical atlas of gene expression from publicly available microarray data. Atlas REST API provides all the results available in the main web application in a pragmatic, easy to use form - simple HTTP GET queries as input and either JSON or XML formats as output. Gene Expression Atlas goals: 1. Provision of a statistically robust framework for integration of gene expression experiment results across different platforms at a meta-analytical level 2. A simple interface for identifying strong differential expression candidate genes in conditions of interest 3. Integration of ontologies for high quality annotation of gene and sample attributes 4. Construction of new gene expression summarized views, with a view to analysis of putative signaling pathway targets, discovery of correlated gene expression patterns and the identification of condition/tissue-specific patterns of gene expression.

eTBLAST is a unique search engine for searching biomedical literature. Our service is very different from PubMed. While PubMed searches for keywords, our search engine lets you input an entire paragraph and returns MEDLINE abstracts that are similar to it. This is something like PubMed''s Related Articles feature, only better because it runs on your unique set of interests. For example, input the abstract of an unpublished paper or a grant proposal into our engine, and with the touch of a button you''ll be able to find every abstract in MEDLINE dealing with your topic. No more guessing whether your set of keywords has found all the right papers. No more sorting through hundreds of papers you don''t care about to find the handful you were looking for--our search engine does it for you. When most people use PubMed to search MEDLINE they pick one or two keywords to describe their topic, then browse through a long list of results. When they find a paper that looks interesting they click on its Related Articles, in hopes of finding more papers like that one. If they find another relevant paper, they explore it''s related articles--and so on. This process of culling long lists of documents by hand makes literature searching tedious and time consuming. We make it easier for you by providing better results the first time, and then allowing you to automatically combine the papers you care about for a second round. Our Iterate feature allows you to checkmark the abstracts you found interesting in the first round and combine them all to create a new query. It''s like rolling several Related Articles lists into one. * We sort our results by relevance, while PubMed sorts by date. * We save you the time and effort of creating a complicated query. * We let you iterate your search over several good papers to narrow your focus. * We provide you the full MEDLINE abstract in our results, and a link to the PubMed page. * We can send your results straight to your email so you never lose a reference or forget where you found it. * This absolutely free service is provided by the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. No registration necessary!

A software package for visualizing and analyzing protein-protein interaction networks. NAViGaTOR can query OPHID / I2D - online databases of interaction data - and display networks in 2D or 3D. To improve scalability and performance, NAViGaTOR combines Java with OpenGL to provide a 2D/3D visualization system on multiple hardware platforms. NAViGaTOR also provides analytical capabilities and supports standard import and export formats such as GO and the Proteomics Standards Initiative (PSI). NAViGaTOR can be installed and run on Microsoft Windows, Linux / UNIX, and Mac OS systems. NAViGaTOR is written in Java and uses JOGL (Java bindings for OpenGL) to support scalability, highlighting or suppressing of information, and other advanced graphic approaches.
