Database of a list of insertion sequences isolated from eubacteria and archaea. It is organized into individual files containing their general features (name, size, origin, family.....) as well as their DNA and potential protein sequences. Although most of the entries have been identified as individual elements, a growing number are included from their description in sequenced bacterial genomes. The search engine permits the retrieval and display of individual and groups of ISs based on a combination of their general features. Two levels of search are available. The simple search option enables the user to sort elements using a limited number of basic items whereas the extensive search offers an additional set of possibilities such as comparisons of the sequences of terminal inverted repeats and a variety of different layout displays. Built in links are provided to: the EMBL sequence database, the NCBI taxonomy database and to the ESF plasmid database. At present, only individual sequences can be downloaded one by one for comparison. An on-line BLAST facility is available and in future versions direct access to additional analytical tools will be provided on line.

Initiative to define community standards for data representation in proteomics to facilitate data comparison, exchange and verification. The main organizational unit is the work group, with a Gel Electrophoresis (GEL) work group, a Mass Spectrometry (MS) work group, a Molecular Interactions (MI) work group, a Protein Modifications (MOD) work group, a Proteomics Informatics (PI) work group, and a Sample Processing (SP) work group. The Gel Electrophoresis (GEL) work group aims to develop reporting requirements that supplement the Minimum Information About a Proteomics Experiment (MIAPE) parent document, describing the minimum information that should be reported about gel-based experimental techniques used in proteomics. The group will also develop data formats for capturing MIAPE-compliant data about gel electrophoresis and informatics performed on gel images. The Mass Spectrometry Standards Working Group defines community data formats and controlled vocabulary terms facilitating data exchange and archiving in the field of proteomics mass spectrometry. A past achievement is the mzData standard, which captures mass spectrometry output data. mzData's aim is to unite the large number of current formats (pkl's, dta's, mgf's, .....) into a single format. mzData has been released but is now deprecated in favor of mzML. The Molecular Interactions workgroup is concentrating on improving the annotation and representation of molecular interaction data wherever it is published, be this in journal articles, authors web-sites or public domain databases; and improving the accessibility of molecular interaction data to the user community. By using a common standard data can be downloaded from multiple sources and easily combined using a single parser. The protein modification workgroup focuses on developing a consensus nomenclature and provide an ontology reconciling in a hierarchical representation the complementary descriptions of residue modifications. The protein modification ontology (PSI-MOD) is available in OBO format or in OBO.xml. A spreadsheet containing the mapping of the descriptive labels used in various databases and search engines, the consensus list of proposed short name for protein modifications established by collaborative effort of mass spectrometry community, and the proposed rules and recommendations for this nomenclature are available. These short names are included in the ontology as synonyms of the corresponding terms. The Proteomics Informatics Standards Group (PSI-PI) goals are to provide a set of minimal reporting requirements which augment the MIAPE reporting guidelines with respect to analysis of data derived from proteomics experiments; to provide vendor-neutral and standard formats for representing results of analyzing and processing experimental data; to foster adoption of the format by highlighting efforts made by vendors and individuals that utilize the format in their products. The remit of the Sample Processing Working Group is to produce reporting guidelines, data exchange formats and controlled vocabulary covering all separation techniques not considered to be "classical" one- or two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (cf. the Gel WG home page), along with other kinds of sample handling and processing (for example, "tagging" proteins or peptides, splitting, combining and storing samples). Where possible we seek to develop our products in collaboration with all proteomics stakeholders and, where relevant, developers from other standards communities, most notably metabolomics. * Minimum reporting requirements: The evolving Minimum Information About a Proteomics Experiment (MIAPE) documents offer guidelines on how to adequately report a proteomics experiment. It is expected that these documents will be published, and that the requirements within will be enforced by journals, compliant repositories and funders (cf. MIAME). * XML formats for data exchange: Derived from the FuGE general object model, the formats developed by this workgroup are designed to function both as standalone files and as part of a "parent" FuGE-ML document. These formats will facilitate data exchange between researchers, and submission to repositories or journals. * Controlled vocabularies (CVs) and ontology: Lists of clearly defined terms are crucial for the construction of unambiguously worded data files. In addition to providing supporting CVs for the individual data capture formats as part of the integrated PSI CV, the Sample Processing WG will contribute terms to the Functional Genomics Ontology (FuGO).

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on January 5, 2023. Knowledge base of genetic associations and human genome epidemiology including information on population prevalence of genetic variants, gene-disease associations, gene-gene and gene- environment interactions, and evaluation of genetic tests. This tool explores HuGENet, the Human Genome Epidemiology Network, which is a global collaboration of individuals and organizations committed to the assessment of the impact of human genome variation on population health and how genetic information can be used to improve health and prevent disease. What does HuGE Navigator offer? *HuGEpedia - an encyclopedia of human genetic variation in health and disease, includes, Phenopedia and Genopedia. Phenopedia allows you to look up gene-disease association summaries by disease, and Genopedia allows you to look up gene-disease association summaries by gene. In general, HuGEpedia is a searchable database that summarizes published articles about human disease and genetic variation, including primary studies, reviews, and meta-analyses. It provides links to Pubmed abstracts, researcher contact info, trends, and more. *HuGEtools - searching and mining the literature in human genome epidemiology, includes, HuGE Literature Finder, HuGE Investigator Browser, Gene Prospector, HuGE Watch, Variant Name Mapper, and HuGE Risk Translator. *HuGE Literature Finder finds published articles in human genome epidemiology since 2001. The search query can include genes, disease, outcome, environmental factors, author, etc. Results can be filtered by these categories. It is also possible to see all articles in the database for a particular topic, such as genotype prevalence, pharmacogenomics, or clinical trial. *HuGE Investigator Browser finds investigators in a particular field of human genome epidemiology. This info is obtained using a behind-the-scenes tool that automatically parses PubMed affiliation data. *Gene Prospector is a gateway for evaluating genes in relation to disease and risk factors. This tool allows you to enter a disease or risk factor and then supplies you with a table of genes associated w/your query that are ranked based on strength of evidence from the literature. This evidence is culled from the HuGE Literature Finder and NCBI Entrez Gene - And you're given the scoring formula. The Gene Prospector results table provides access to the Genopedia entry for each gene in the list, general info including links to other resources, SNP info, and associated literature from HuGE, PubMed, GWAS, and more. It is a great place to locate a lot of info about your disease/gene of interest very quickly. *HuGE Watch tracks the evolution of published literature, HuGE investigators, genes studied, or diseases studied in human genome epidemiology. For example, if you search Trend/Pattern for Diseases Studied you'll initially get a graph and chart of the number of diseases studied per year since 1997. You can refine these results by limiting the temporal trend to a category or study type such as Gene-gene Interaction or HuGE Review. *Variant Name Mapper maps common names and rs numbers of genetic variants using information from SNP500Cancer, SNPedia, pharmGKB, ALFRED, AlzGene, PDGene, SZgene, HuGE Navigator, LSDBs, and user submissions. *HuGE Risk Translator calculates the predictive value of genetic markers for disease risk. To do so, users must enter the frequency of risk variant, the population disease risk, and the odds ratio between the gene and disease. This information is necessary in order to yield a useful predictive result. *HuGEmix - a series of HuGE related informatics utilities and projects, includes, GAPscreener, HuGE Track, Open Source. GAPscreener is a screening tool for published literature on human genetic associations; HuGE Track is a custom track built for HuGE data in the UCSC Genome Browser; and Open Source is infrastructure for managing knowledge and information from PubMed.

Portal supporting the North East Bioinformatics Collaborative''s project to sequence the genome of the Little Skate. Provided is a clearinghouse for Little Skate Genome Project and other publicly available Skate and Ray (Batoidea) genome data, and tools for data visualization and analysis. Little Skate Genome Project The little skate (Leucoraja erinacea) is a chondrichthyan (cartilaginous) fish native to the east coast of North America. Elasmobranchs (Skates, Rays, and Sharks) exhibit many fundamental vertebrate characteristics, including a neural crest, jaws and teeth, an adaptive immune system, and a pressurized circulatory system. These characteristics have been exploited to promote understanding about human physiology, immunology, stem cell biology, toxicology, neurobiology and regeneration. The development of standardized experimental protocols in elasmobranchs such as L. erinacea and the spiny dogfish shark (Squalus acanthias) has further positioned these organisms as important biomedical and developmental models. Despite this distinction, the only reported chondrichthyan genome is the low coverage (1.4x) draft genome of the elephant shark (Callorhinchus milii). To close the evolutionary gaps in available elasmobranch genome sequence data, and generate critical genomic resources for future biomedical study, the genome of L. erinacea is being sequenced by the North East Bioinformatics Collaborative (NEBC). As close evolutionary relatives, the little skate sequence will facilitate studies that employ dogfish shark and other elasmobranchs as model organisms. Skate tools include the SkateBLAST and the Skate Genome Browsers: Little Skate Mitochondrion, Thorny Skate Mitochondrion, and Ocellate Spot Skate Mitochondrion.

http://vortex.cs.wayne.edu/projects.htm#Onto-Express

The typical result of a microarray experiment is a list of tens or hundreds of genes found to be differentially regulated in the condition under study. Independently of the methods used to select these genes, the common task faced by any researcher is to translate these lists of genes into a better understanding of the biological phenomena involved. Currently, this is done through a tedious combination of searches through the literature and a number of public databases. We developed Onto-Express (OE) as a novel tool able to automatically translate such lists of differentially regulated genes into functional profiles characterizing the impact of the condition studied. OE constructs functional profiles (using Gene Ontology terms) for the following categories: biochemical function, biological process, cellular role, cellular component, molecular function and chromosome location. Statistical significance values are calculated for each category. We demonstrated the validity and the utility of this comprehensive global analysis of gene function by analyzing two breast cancer data sets from two separate laboratories. OE was able to identify correctly all biological processes postulated by the original authors, as well as discover novel relevant mechanisms (Draghici et.al, Genomics, 81(2), 2003). Other results obtained with Onto-Express can be found in Khatri et.al., Genomics. 79(2), 2002. Custom level of abstraction of the Gene Ontology. User account required. Platform: Online tool
