The Advanced Gene Search will perform a One-tailed Fisher Exact Test (which is equivalent to Hypergeometric Distribution) to test if your gene list is over-represented in any gene signature in GeneSigDB. Gene expression studies typically result in a list of genes (gene signature) which reflect the many biological pathways that are concurrently active. We have created a Gene Signature Data Base (GeneSigDB) of published gene expression signatures or gene sets which we have manually extracted from published literature. GeneSigDB was creating following a thorough search of PubMed using defined set of cancer gene signature search terms. We would be delighted to accept or update your gene signature. Please fill out the form as best you can. We will contact you when we get it and will be happy to work with you to ensure we accurately report your signature. GeneSigDB is capable of providing its functionality through a Java RESTful web service. | gene, gene signature, curated gene signature, gene expression, gene expression signature, bio.tools |

PlantNATsDB - Plant Natural Antisense Transcripts DataBase (RRID:SCR_013278) | PlantNATsDB | analysis service resource, data analysis service, data or information resource, database, production service resource, service resource | Natural Antisense Transcripts (NATs), a kind of regulatory RNAs, occur prevalently in plant genomes and play significant roles in physiological and/or pathological processes. PlantNATsDB (Plant Natural Antisense Transcripts DataBase) is a platform for annotating and discovering NATs by integrating various data sources involving approximately 2 million NAT pairs in 69 plant species. PlantNATsDB also provides an integrative, interactive and information-rich web graphical interface to display multidimensional data, and facilitate plant research community and the discovery of functional NATs. GO annotation and high-throughput small RNA sequencing data currently available were integrated to investigate the biological function of NATs. A ''''Gene Set Analysis'''' module based on GO annotation was designed to dig out the statistical significantly overrepresented GO categories from the specific NAT network. PlantNATsDB is currently the most comprehensive resource of NATs in the plant kingdom, which can serve as a reference database to investigate the regulatory function of NATs. | natural antisense transcript, annotation, high-throughput, small rna sequencing, function, regulatory function, predict, sequence, small rna, blast, bio.tools |

Dali Server Resource Report Resource Website 500+ mentions |
Dali Server (RRID:SCR_013433) | analysis service resource, data analysis service, production service resource, service resource, software resource | Network service for comparing protein structures in 3D. You submit the coordinates of a query protein structure and Dali compares them against those in the Protein Data Bank (PDB). You receive an email notification when the search has finished. In favourable cases, comparing 3D structures may reveal biologically interesting similarities that are not detectable by comparing sequences. Requests can also be submitted by e-mail to dali-server at helsinki dot fi. The body of the e-mail message must contain atomic coordinates in PDB format. If you want to know the structural neighbours of a protein already in the Protein Data Bank (PDB), you can find them in the Dali Database. If you want to superimpose two particular structures, you can do it in the pairwise DaliLite server. Academic users may download the DaliLite program for local use. | Protein structure comparison server, protein structure, comparison server, bio.tools, FASEB list |
