THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on April 15,2025. Human protein knowledge platform. Knowledge platform for human proteins selects and filters high throughput data pertinent to human proteins from UniProtKB. Extends UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot annotations for human proteins to include several new data types.

Harvester is a Web-based tool that bulk-collects bioinformatic data on human proteins from various databases and prediction servers. It is a meta search engine for gene and protein information. It searches 16 major databases and prediction servers and combines the results on pregenerated HTML pages. In this way Harvester can provide comprehensive gene-protein information from different servers in a convenient and fast manner. As full text meta search engine, similar to Google trade mark, Harvester allows screening of the whole genome proteome for current protein functions and predictions in a few seconds. With Harvester it is now possible to compare and check the quality of different database entries and prediction algorithms on a single page. Sponsors: This work has been supported by the BMBF with grants 01GR0101 and 01KW0013.

PLEXdb (Plant Expression Database) is a unified gene expression resource for plants and plant pathogens. PLEXdb is a genotype to phenotype, hypothesis building information warehouse, leveraging highly parallel expression data with seamless portals to related genetic, physical, and pathway data. The integrated tools of PLEXdb allow investigators to use commonalities in plant biology for a comparative approach to functional genomics through use of large-scale expression profiling data sets.

Modular program for SPM (scanning probe microscopy) data visualization and analysis. Primarily it is intended for the analysis of height fields obtained by scanning probe microscopy techniques (AFM, MFM, STM, SNOM/NSOM) and it supports a lot of SPM data formats. However, it can be used for general height field and (greyscale) image processing, for instance for the analysis of profilometry data or thickness maps from imaging spectrophotometry.

https://github.com/nbcrrolls/workflows/tree/master/Production/AmberGPUMDSimulation
A workflow for running molecular dynamics simulations. It can be used for all-atom molecular dynamic simulations, which involve five steps of minimization, one step of heating, three steps of equilibration, and one or more instances of production. The input is a set of directories that include the MD simulation input scripts, system topology and coordinate files. Output files are list of plots, simulation trajectories, intermediate files, restart files, and the like.

https://atgu.mgh.harvard.edu/plinkseq/
An open-source C/C++ library for working with human genetic variation data. The specific focus is to provide a platform for analytic tool development for variation data from large-scale resequencing projects, particularly whole-exome and whole-genome studies. However, the library could in principle be applied to other types of genetic studies, including whole-genome association studies of common SNPs. (entry from Genetic Analysis Software)
