http://www.re3data.org/

Global registry of research data repositories from all academic disciplines that allows the easy identification of appropriate research data repositories, both for data producers and users. Information icons display principal attributes of a repository that can be used for multi-faceted searches. Repository operators can suggest their infrastructures to be listed via a simple application form. A repository is indexed when the minimum requirements are met, i.e. mode of access to the data and repository, as well as the terms of use.

http://www.sanger.ac.uk/Projects/C_elegans/index.shtml

The Sanger Institute and the Genome Sequencing Center at the Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis have collaborated to sequence the genomes of both C. elegans and C. briggsae. The completed C. elegans genome sequence is represented by over 3,000 individual clone sequences which can be accessed through this site (or through WormBase). These sequences are submitted to EMBL whenever the sequence or annotation changes (e.g. modification to gene structures) and these submissions are then mirrored to GenBank and DDBJ. These sequences (along with ESTs and proteins) can be searched on our C. elegans BLAST server. WormBase is the repository of mapping, sequencing and phenotypic information for C. elegans. The worm informatics group at the Sanger Institute play a key role in assembling the whole database. They also curate and develop some of the constituent databases that comprise WormBase.

http://bamview.sourceforge.net/

A free interactive display of read alignments in BAM data files that can be launched with Java Web Start or downloaded. This interactive Java application for visualizing the large amounts of data stored for sequence reads which are aligned against a reference genome sequence can be used in a number of contexts including SNP calling and structural annotation. It has been integrated into Artemis so that the reads can be viewed in the context of the nucleotide sequence and genomic features. The source code is available as part of the Artemis code which can be downloaded from GitHub.

http://www.sanger.ac.uk/Projects/Fungi/

Fungal genomes available from the Sanger Institute. Data are accessible in a number of ways; for each organism there is a BLAST server, allowing search of the sequences. Sequences can also be down-loaded directly by FTP. In addition, for those organisms being sequenced using a cosmid approach, finished and annotated cosmids are submitted to EMBL and other public databases.

http://www.sanger.ac.uk/resources/software/alien_hunter/

Alien_hunter is an application for the prediction of putative Horizontal Gene Transfer (HGT) events with the implementation of Interpolated Variable Order Motifs (IVOMs). This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. An IVOM approach exploits compositional biases using variable order motif distributions and captures more reliably the local composition of a sequence compared to fixed-order methods. Optionally the predictions can be parsed into a 2-state 2nd order Hidden Markov Model (HMM), in a change-point detection framework, to optimize the localization of the boundaries of the predicted regions. The predictions (embl format) can be automatically loaded into the freely available Artemis genome viewer.

Create knockout alleles in protein coding genes in the zebrafish genome, using a combination of whole exome enrichment and Illumina next generation sequencing, with the aim to cover them all. Each allele created is analyzed for morphological differences and published on the ZMP site. Transcript counting is performed on alleles with a morphological phenotype. Alleles generated are archived and can be requested from this site through the Zebrafish International Resource Center (ZIRC). You may register to receive updates on genes of interest, or browse a complete list, or search by Ensembl ID, gene name or human and mouse orthologue.

http://pfam.xfam.org/

A database of protein families, each represented by multiple sequence alignments and hidden Markov models (HMMs). Users can analyze protein sequences for Pfam matches, view Pfam family annotation and alignments, see groups of related families, look at the domain organization of a protein sequence, find the domains on a PDB structure, and query Pfam by keywords. There are two components to Pfam: Pfam-A and Pfam-B. Pfam-A entries are high quality, manually curated families that may automatically generate a supplement using the ADDA database. These automatically generated entries are called Pfam-B. Although of lower quality, Pfam-B families can be useful for identifying functionally conserved regions when no Pfam-A entries are found. Pfam also generates higher-level groupings of related families, known as clans (collections of Pfam-A entries which are related by similarity of sequence, structure or profile-HMM).
