THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on January 4, 2023. Database that provides special browsing capabilities for a subset of organisms in Entrez Genomes. Map Viewer allows users to view and search an organism's complete genome, display chromosome maps, and zoom into progressively greater levels of detail, down to the sequence data for a region of interest. If multiple maps are available for a chromosome, it displays them aligned to each other based on shared marker and gene names, and, for the sequence maps, based on a common sequence coordinate system.

BiSearch is a primer-design algorithm for DNA sequences. It may be used for both bisulfite converted as well as for original not modified sequences. You can search various genomes with the designed primers to avoid non-specific PCR products by our fast ePCR method. This is especially recommended when primers are designed to amplify the highly redundant bisulfite treated sequences. It has the unique property of analyzing the primer pairs for mispriming sites on the bisulfite-treated genome and determines potential non-specific amplification products with a new search algorithm. The options of primer-design and analysis for mispriming sites can be used sequentially or separately, both on bisulfite-treated and untreated sequences. In silico and in vitro tests of the software suggest that new PCR strategies may increase the efficiency of the amplification.

The Genome Properties system consists of a suite of Properties which are carefully defined attributes of prokaryotic organisms whose status can be described by numerical values or controlled vocabulary terms for individual completely sequenced genomes. The system has been designed to capture the widest possible range of attributes and currently encompasses taxonomic terms, genometric calculations, metabolic pathways, systems of interacting macromolecular components and quantitative and descriptive experimental observations (phenotypes) from the literature. You may search the Genome Properties Database in 1 of 3 ways: * Search For Predicted Properties in the CMR: The Genome Property Search allows you to search the Genome Property database for state information for selected genomes and properties. * Perform a Keyword Search for a Specific Property: Lists all Genome Properties that match a specific text string. You can choose to search All Fields within a genome property or the Property Name. * Browse Top Level Genome Properties: Click on the properties to see the specific genome property report page. The Genome Properties system presents key aspects of prokaryotic biology using standardized computational methods and controlled vocabularies. Properties reflect gene content, phenotype, phylogeny and computational analyses. The results of searches using hidden Markov models allow many properties to be deduced automatically, especially for families of proteins (equivalogs) conserved in function since their last common ancestor. Additional properties are derived from curation, published reports and other forms of evidence. Genome Properties system was applied to 156 complete prokaryotic genomes, and is easily mined to find differences between species, correlations between metabolic features and families of uncharacterized proteins, or relationships among properties.

An interactive web-based tool to explore and interpret large sets of genomic variations (single nucleotide variations and insertion/deletions) to help guide and summarize genomic experiments. The tool is based on coupling a comprehensive annotation pipeline with a flexible visualization method. They leveraged the ANNOVAR (Wang et. al, 2010) framework for assigning functional impact to genomic variations by extending its list of reference annotation databases (RefSeq, UCSC, SIFT, Polyphen etc.) with additional in-house developed sources (Non-B DB, PolyBrowse). Further, because many users also have their own annotation sources, they have added the ability to supply their own files as well. The results can be obtained in tabular format or as tracks in whole genome circular views generated by the Circos application (Krzywinski et. al, 2009). Users can also select different sets of pre-computed tracks, including whole genome distributions of different genomic features (genes, exons, repeats), as well as variations analysis tracks for the 69 CGI public genomes for reference.

Database of biological data related to a single initiative, originating from a single organization or from a consortium. A BioProject record provides users a single place to find links to the diverse data types generated for that project. It is a searchable collection of complete and incomplete (in-progress) large-scale sequencing, assembly, annotation, and mapping projects for cellular organisms. Submissions are supported by a web-based Submission Portal. The database facilitates organization and classification of project data submitted to NCBI, EBI and DDBJ databases that captures descriptive information about research projects that result in high volume submissions to archival databases, ties together related data across multiple archives and serves as a central portal by which to inform users of data availability. BioProject records link to corresponding data stored in archival repositories. The BioProject resource is a redesigned, expanded, replacement of the NCBI Genome Project resource. The redesign adds tracking of several data elements including more precise information about a project''''s scope, material, and objectives. Genome Project identifiers are retained in the BioProject as the ID value for a record, and an Accession number has been added. Database content is exchanged with other members of the International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration (INSDC). BioProject is accessible via FTP.

The goal of the DOE JGI Plant Genome Program is to shed light on the fundamental biology of photosynthesis and transduction of solar to chemical energy. Other areas of interest include characterizing: * Ecosystems and the role of terrestrial plants and oceanic phytoplankton-in carbon sequestration. * The role of plants in coping with toxic pollutants in soils by hyper-accumulation and detoxification. * Feedstocks for biofuels, e.g., biodiesel from soybean; cellulosic ethanol from perennial grasses. * The ability to respond to environmental change (e.g., loss of diversity from monoculture produces vulnerabilities; nitrogen fixing nodules in legumes reduce fertilizer need). * The generation of useful secondary metabolites (produced largely for disease resistance)- for positive/negative control in agriculture, with attendant influence on global carbon cycle. The Plant Genome Program accomplishes the above through the following activities: # Sequence. Produce genome sequences of key plant (and algal) species to accelerate biofuel development and understand response to climate change. # Function. Develop datasets (and synthetic biology tools) to elucidate functional elements in plant genomes, with special focus on handful of flagship genomes. # Variation. Characterize natural genomic variation in plants (and their associated microbiomes), and relate to biofuel sustainability and adaptation to climate change. # Integration. Provide a centralized hub for the retrieval and deep integrated analysis of plant genome datasets.

Database of computationally predicted Transcription Factors and binding sites in gamma-proteobacterial genomes. The user may browse a map containing all known E. coli transcription factors and regulatory interactions that connect them, and retrieve information on the conservation of each regulatory interaction across the 30 organisms included in the database. Downloading the information is straightforward, and navigation tabs added to dynamic pages ease navigation between the five interfaces of the database. The original prediction approach, based on the representation of binding sites through statistical models was complemented by a new approach that uses known E. coli regulatory sites as the basis for a pattern matching search of regulatory sites. The use of both approaches together resulted in a more intensive exploration of the sequence space of each regulator's binding site. These data should aid researchers in the design of microarray experiments and the interpretation of their results. They should also facilitate studies of Comparative Genomics of the regulatory networks of this group of organisms.

Genomic data set on Type 2 Diabetes in African-Americans derived via admixture mapping, a method for genome-wide association analysis based on admixture-generated linkage disequilibrium. This collaborative group has identified 1,478 African Americans with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) from the Jackson Heart Study and Multiethnic Cohort Study, as well as 498 controls from the Jackson Heart Study who are normoglycemic despite high body mass index and older age. All samples were genotyped (using the Illumina BeadLab platform) for 1,291 polymorphic markers chosen to be extremely different in frequency between west Africans and European Americans. Evidence for association to diabetes at each marker as reported by the ANCESTRYMAP software are reported in the downloadable table. They calculate that this study has statistical power to detect loci where African or European ancestry on average confers multiplicative increased risk of 1.35-fold or more. The fact that they did not detect a statistically significant signal of association in the scan suggests that any genetic risk factors for T2D do not confer different risks due to ancestry that differ by this factor. The genome scan results are publicly available (Excel file) prior to publication so that researchers interested in the genetics of T2D can use the results of the scan to prioritize follow-up of any regions of interest.

EyeBrowse displays expressed sequence tag (EST) cDNA clones from eye tissues (derived from NEIBank and other sources) aligned with current versions of the human, rhesus, mouse, rat, dog, cow, chicken, or zebrafish genomes, including reference sequences for known genes. This gives a simplified view of gene expression activity from different parts of the eye across the genome. The data can be interrogated in several ways. Specific gene names can be entered into the search window. Alternatively, regions of the genome can be displayed. For example, entering two STS markers separated by a semicolon (e.g. RH18061;RH80175) allows the display of the entire chromosomal region associated with the mapping of a specific disease locus. ESTs for each tissue can then be displayed to help in the selection of candidate genes. In addition, sequences can be entered into a BLAT search and rapidly aligned on the genome, again showing eye derived ESTs for the same region. EyeBrowse includes a custom track display SAGE data for human eye tissues derived from the EyeSAGE project. The track shows the normalized sum of SAGE tag counts from all published eye-related SAGE datasets centered on the position of each identifiable Unigene cluster. This indicates relative activity of each gene locus in eye. Clicking on the vertical count bar for a particular location will bring up a display listing gene details and linking to specific SAGE counts for each eye SAGE library and comparisons with normalized sums for neural and non-neural tissues. To view or alter settings for the EyeSAGE track on EyeBrowse, click on the vertical gray bar at the left of the display. Other custom tracks display known eye disease genes and mapped intervals for candidate loci for retinal disease, cataract, myopia and cornea disease. These link back to further information at NEIBank. For mouse, there is custom track data for ChIP-on-Chip of RNA-Polymerase-II during photoreceptor maturation.
