Web-based tools for working with functional genomics and other data, including Gene Expression and Protein Tools, Molecular Markers and Mapping Tools, and Other Genomic Tools. Most are designed with the plant (mainly Arabidopsis) researcher in mind, but a couple of them can be useful to the wider research community, e.g. Mouse eFP Browser or BlastDigester. The associated paper for most tools is available.

http://grbio.org/

Database of biological collections in natural history museums, herbaria, and other biorepositories resulting from a merger of Index Herbariorum (IH), Biodiversity Collections Index (BCI) and biorepositories.org. It contains more than 14,000 records for biorepository institutions, their collections, and staff members. Their two main goals are to improve access to information about biorepositories, the collections and specimens they house, and the researchers and collection managers who work there; and to facilitate electronic linkages to this information through web services that will rely on unique identifiers assigned to biorepositories and collections. The Consortium for the Barcode of Life (CBOL) has developed and will manage GRBio in collaboration with IH and BCI and in consultation with GBIF and NCBI. GRBio includes four categories of data records that provide information on: * Institutional repositories such as museums, herbaria, botanical gardens, zoos, biomedical research institutes and culture centers; * Institutional collection records such as the bird, algal or insect collections within an institutional repository; * Personal collections such as field samples held by a researcher before they have been accessioned into an institutional collection, or privately owned specimens held by non-researchers; and * Staff members at institutional repositories GRBio operates as a moderated community-curated resource. The community is invited to check and update their records and to register institutions, collections and staff members that have not already been registered. GRBio offers registration of institutional collections, "personal" research collections that have not yet been accessioned into an institutional repository, and privately owned collections.

https://www.genevestigator.com/gv/

A high performance search engine for gene expression that integrates thousands of manually curated public microarray and RNAseq experiments and nicely visualizes gene expression across different biological contexts (diseases, drugs, tissues, cancers, genotypes, etc.). There are two basic analysis approaches: # for a gene of interest, identify which conditions affect its expression. # for condition(s) of interest, identify which genes are specifically expressed in this/these conditions. Genevestigator builds on the deep integration of data, both at the level of data normalization and on the level of sample annotations. This deep integration allows scientists to ask new types of questions that cannot be addressed using conventional tools.

http://www.gramene.org

Curated, open-source, integrated data resource for comparative functional genomics in crops and model plant species to facilitate the study of cross-species comparisons using information generated from projects supported by public funds. It currently hosts annotated whole genomes in over two dozen plant species and partial assemblies for almost a dozen wild rice species in the Ensembl browser, genetic and physical maps with genes, ESTs and QTLs locations, genetic diversity data sets, structure-function analysis of proteins, plant pathways databases (BioCyc and Plant Reactome platforms), and descriptions of phenotypic traits and mutations. The web-based displays for phenotypes include the Genes and Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) modules. Sequence based relationships are displayed in the Genomes module using the genome browser adapted from Ensembl, in the Maps module using the comparative map viewer (CMap) from GMOD, and in the Proteins module displays. BLAST is used to search for similar sequences. Literature supporting all the above data is organized in the Literature database. In addition, Gramene now hosts a variety of web services including a Distributed Annotation Server (DAS), BLAST and a public MySQL database. Twice a year, Gramene releases a major build of the database and makes interim releases to correct errors or to make important updates to software and/or data. Additionally you can access Gramene through an FTP site.

http://www3a.biotec.or.th/c-mii/

A software tool for plant miRNA and target identification. C-mii pipelines are based on combined steps and criteria from previous studies and also incorporated with several tools such as standalone BLAST and UNAFold and pre-installed databases including miRBase, UniProt, and Rfam. C-mii provides following distinguished features. First, it comes with graphical user interfaces of well-defined pipelines for both miRNA and target identifications with reliable results. Second, it provides a set of filters allowing users to reduce the number of results corresponding to the recently proposed constraints in plant miRNA and target biogenesis. Third, it extends the standard computational steps of miRNA target identification with miRNA-target folding module and GO annotation. Fourth, it supplies the bird eye views of the identification results with info-graphics and grouping information. Fifth, it provides helper functions for database update and auto-recovery to ease system usage and maintenance. Finally, it supports the multi-project and multi-thread management to improve the computational speed.

http://www.barcodinglife.com/

DNA barcode data with an online workbench that supports data validation, annotation, and publication for specimen, distributional, and molecular data. The data platform consists of three main modules, a data portal, a database of barcode clusters, and data collection workbench. The Public Data Portal provides access to all public barcode data which consists of data generated using the Workbench module as well as data mined from other sources. The Barcode Index Number (BIN) system assigns a unique identifier to each sequence cluster of COI, providing an interim taxonomic system for species in the animal kingdom. The workbench module integrates secure databases with analytical tools to provide a private collaborative environment for researchers to collect, analyze, and publish barcode data and ancillary DNA sequences. This platform also provides an annotation framework that supports tagging and commenting on records and their components (i.e. taxonomy, images, and sequences), allowing for community-based validation of barcode data. By providing specialized services, it aids in the assembly of records that meet the standards needed to gain BARCODE designation in the global sequence databases. Because of its web-based delivery and flexible data security model, it is also well positioned to support projects that involve broad research alliances. Public data records include record identifiers, taxonomy, specimen details, collection information and sequence data. Data that has been publicly released through BOLD can be retrieved manually through the BOLD public interface or automatically through BOLD web services. BOLD analytical tools are available for any data set that exists in BOLD (including publicly available data). Analytical tools can be accessed through the BOLD Project Console under the headings Sequences Analysis or Specimen Aggregates. Some examples include Taxon ID Tree, Alignment Viewer, Distribution Maps, and Image Library.

http://www.gomapman.org/

An open web-accessible resource for gene functional annotations in the plant sciences to facilitate improvement, consolidation and visualization of gene annotations across several plant species. It is based on the MapMan ontology, organized in the form of a hierarchical tree of biological concepts, which describe gene functions. Currently, genes of the model species Arabidopsis, potato, tomato, rice, and tobacco are included. The main features are (i) dynamic and interactive gene product annotation through various curation options; (ii) consolidation of gene annotations for different plant species through the integration of orthologue group information; (iii) traceability of gene ontology changes and annotations; (iv) integration of external knowledge about genes from different public resources; and (v) providing gathered information to high-throughput analysis tools via dynamically generated export files. All of the GoMapMan functionalities are openly available, with the restriction on the curation functions, which require prior registration to ensure traceability of the implemented changes.
