HEFalMp (Human Experimental/FunctionAL MaPper) is a tool developed by Curtis Huttenhower in Olga Troyanskaya's lab at Princeton University. It was created to allow interactive exploration of functional maps. Functional mapping analyzes portions of these networks related to user-specified groups of genes and biological processes and displays the results as probabilities (for individual genes), functional association p-values (for groups of genes), or graphically (as an interaction network). HEFalMp contains information from roughly 15,000 microarray conditions, over 15,000 publications on genetic and physical protein interactions, and several types of DNA and protein sequence analyses and allows the exploration of over 200 H. sapiens process-specific functional relationship networks, including a global, process-independent network capturing the most general functional relationships. Looking to download functional maps? Keep an eye on the bottom of each page of results: every functional map of any kind is generated with a Download link at the bottom right. Most functional maps are provided as tab-delimited text to simplify downstream processing; graphical interaction networks are provided as Support Vector Graphics files, which can be viewed using the Adobe Viewer, any recent version of Firefox, or the excellent open source Inkscape tool.

http://pilgrm.princeton.edu

PILGRM (the platform for interactive learning by genomics results mining) puts advanced supervised analysis techniques applied to enormous gene expression compendia into the hands of bench biologists. This flexible system empowers its users to answer diverse biological questions that are often outside of the scope of common databases in a data-driven manner. This capability allows domain experts to quickly and easily generate hypotheses about biological processes, tissues or diseases of interest. Specifically PILGRM helps biologists generate these hypotheses by analyzing the expression levels of known relevant genes in large compendia of microarray data. PILGRM is for the biologist with a set of proteins relevant to a disease, biological function or tissue of interest who wants to find additional players in that process. It uses a data driven method that provides added value for literature search results by mining compendia of publicly available gene expression datasets using lists of relevant and irrelevant genes (standards). PILGRM produces publication quality PDFs usable as supplementary material to describe the computational approach, standards and datasets. Each PILGRM analysis starts with an important biological question (e.g. What genes are relevant for breast cancer but not mammary tissue in general?). For PILGRM to discover relevant genes, it needs examples of both genes that you would (positive) and would not (negative) find interesting. Lists of these genes are what we call standards and in PILGRM you can build your own standards or you can use standards from common sources that we pre-load for your convenience. PILGRM lets you build your own literature-documented standards so that processes, disease, and tissues that are not well covered in databases of tissue expression, disease, or function can still be used for an analysis.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on March 17, 2022. A large-scale database of genetics and genomics data associated to a web-interface and a set of methods and algorithms that can be used for mining the data in it. The database contains two categories of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) annotations: # Physical-based annotation where SNPs are categorized according to their position relative to genes (intronic, inter-genic, etc.) and according to linkage disequilibrium (LD) patterns (an inter-genic SNP can be annotated to a gene if it is in LD with variation in the gene). # Functional annotation where SNPs are classified according to their effects on expression levels, i.e. whether they are expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) for that gene. SCAN can be utilized in several ways including: (i) queries of the SNP and gene databases; (ii) analysis using the attached tools and algorithms; (iii) downloading files with SNP annotation for various GWA platforms. . eQTL files and reported GWAS from NHGRI may be downloaded., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 16,2025.

http://gila.bioengr.uic.edu/snp/toposnp

A topographic database for analyzing non-synonymous SNPs (nsSNPs) that can be mapped onto known 3D structures of proteins. These include disease- associated nsSNPs derived from the Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) database and other nsSNPs derived from dbSNP, a resource at the National Center for Biotechnology Information that catalogs SNPs. TopoSNP further classifies each nsSNP site into three categories based on their geometric location: those located in a surface pocket or an interior void of the protein, those on a convex region or a shallow depressed region, and those that are completely buried in the interior of the protein structure. These unique geometric descriptions provide more detailed mapping of nsSNPs to protein structures. It also includes relative entropy of SNPs calculated from multiple sequence alignment as obtained from the Pfam database (a database of protein families and conserved protein motifs) as well as manually adjusted multiple alignments obtained from ClustalW. These structural and conservational data can be useful for studying whether nsSNPs in coding regions are likely to lead to phenotypic changes. TopoSNP includes an interactive structural visualization web interface, as well as downloadable batch data.

Data sets, tools and computational techniques for modeling of protein interactions, including docking benchmarks, docking decoys and docking templates. Adequate computational techniques for modeling of protein interactions are important because of the growing number of known protein 3D structures, particularly in the context of structural genomics. The first release of the DOCKGROUND resource (Douguet et al., Bioinformatics 2006; 22:2612-2618) implemented a comprehensive database of cocrystallized (bound) protein-protein complexes in a relational database of annotated structures. Additional releases added features to the set of bound structures, such as regularly updated downloadable datasets: automatically generated nonredundant set, built according to most common criteria, and a manually curated set that includes only biological nonobligate complexes along with a number of additional useful characteristics. Also included are unbound (experimental and simulated) protein-protein complexes. Complexes from the bound dataset are used to identify crystallized unbound analogs. If such analogs do not exist, the unbound structures are simulated by rotamer library optimization. Thus, the database contains comprehensive sets of complexes suitable for large scale benchmarking of docking algorithms. Advanced methodologies for simulating unbound conformations are being explored for the next release. The Dockground project is developed by the Vakser lab at the Center for Bioinformatics at the University of Kansas. Parts of Dockground were co-developed by Dominique Douguet from the Center of Structural Biochemistry (INSERM U554 - CNRS UMR5048), Montpellier, France.
