canSAR is an integrated database that brings together biological, chemical, pharmacological (and eventually clinical) data. Its goal is to integrate this data and make it accessible to cancer research scientists from multiple disciplines, in order to help with hypothesis generation in cancer research and support translational research. This cancer research and drug discovery resource was developed to utilize the growing publicly available biological annotation, chemical screening, RNA interference screening, expression, amplification and 3D structural data. Scientists can, in a single place, rapidly identify biological annotation of a target, its structural characterization, expression levels and protein interaction data, as well as suitable cell lines for experiments, potential tool compounds and similarity to known drug targets. canSAR has, from the outset, been completely use-case driven which has dramatically influenced the design of the back-end and the functionality provided through the interfaces. The Web interface provides flexible, multipoint entry into canSAR. This allows easy access to the multidisciplinary data within, including target and compound synopses, bioactivity views and expert tools for chemogenomic, expression and protein interaction network data.

Database for those interested in the consequences of Factor VIII genetic variation at the DNA and protein level, it provides access to data on the molecular pathology of haemophilia A. The database presents a review of the structure and function of factor VIII and the molecular genetics of haemophilia A, a real time update of the biostatistics of each parameter in the database, a molecular model of the A1, A2 and A3 domains of the factor VIII protein (based on the crystal structure of caeruloplasmin) and a bulletin board for discussion of issues in the molecular biology of factor VIII. The database is completely updated with easy submission of point mutations, deletions and insertions via e-mail of custom-designed forms. A methods section devoted to mutation detection is available, highlighting issues such as choice of technique and PCR primer sequences. The FVIII structure section now includes a download of a FVIII A domain homology model in Protein Data Bank format and a multiple alignment of the FVIII amino-acid sequences from four species (human, murine, porcine and canine) in addition to the virtual reality simulations, secondary structural data and FVIII animation already available. Finally, to aid navigation across this site, a clickable roadmap of the main features provides easy access to the page desired. Their intention is that continued development and updating of the site shall provide workers in the fields of molecular and structural biology with a one-stop resource site to facilitate FVIII research and education. To submit your mutants to the Haemophilia A Mutation Database email the details. (Refer to Submission Guidelines)

The goals of Antibiotic Resistance Genes Database (ARGB) are to provide a centralized compendium of information on antibiotic resistance, to facilitate the consistent annotation of resistance information in newly sequenced organisms, and also to facilitate the identification and characterization of new genes. ARGB contains six types of database groups: - Resistance Type: This database contains information, such as resistance profile, mechanism, requirement, epidemiology for each type. - Resistance Gene: This database contains information, such as resistance profile, resistance type, requirement, protein and DNA sequence for each gene.This database only includes NON-REDUNDANT, NON-VECTOR, COMPLETE genes. - Antibiotic: This database contains information, such as producer, action mechanism, resistance type, for each gene. - Resistance Gene(NonRD): This database contains the same information as Resistance Gene. It does NOT include NON-REDUNDANT, NON-VECTOR genes, but includes INCOMPLETE genes. - Resistance Gene(ALL): This database contains the same information as Resistance Gene. It includes all REDUNDANT, VECTOR AND INCOMPLETE genes. - Resistance Species: This database contains resistance profile and corresponding resistance genes for each species. Furthermore, ARDB also contians three types BLAST database: - Resistance Genes Complete: Contains only NON-REDUNDANT, NON-VECTOR, COMPLETE genes sequences. - Resistance Genes Non-redundant: Contains NON-REDUNDANT, NON-VECTOR, COMPLETE, INCOMPLETE genes sequences. - Resistance Genes All: Contains all REDUNDANT, VECTOR, COMPLETE, INCOMPLETE genes sequences. Lastly, ARDB provides four types of Analytical tools: - Normal BLAST: This function allows an user to input a DNA or protein sequence, and find similar DNA (Nucleotide BLAST) or protein (Protein BLAST) sequences using blastn, blastp, blastx, tblastn, tblastx - RPS BLAST: A web RPSBLAST (RPS BLAST) interface is provided to align a query sequence against the Position Specific Scoring Matrix (PSSM) for each type. Normally, this will give the same annotation information as using regular BLAST mentioned above. - Multiple Sequences BLAST (Genome Annotation): This function allows an user to annotate multiple (less than 5000) query sequences in FASTA format. - Mutation Resistance Identification: This function allows an user to identify mutations that will cause potential antibiotic resistance, for 12 genes (16S rRNA, 23S rRNA, gyrA, gyrB, parC, parE, rpoB, katG, pncA, embB, folP, dfr). ������ :Sponsors: ARDB is funded by Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, administered by the Henry Jackson Foundation. :

Database of known and predicted mammalian and eukaryotic protein-protein interactions, it is designed to be both a resource for the laboratory scientist to explore known and predicted protein-protein interactions, and to facilitate bioinformatics initiatives exploring protein interaction networks. It has been built by mapping high-throughput (HTP) data between species. Thus, until experimentally verified, these interactions should be considered predictions. It remains one of the most comprehensive sources of known and predicted eukaryotic PPI. It contains 490,600 Source Interactions, 370,002 Predicted Interactions, for a total of 846,116 interactions, and continues to expand as new protein-protein interaction data becomes available.

RNA is not only a carrier of genetic information, but also a catalyst and a guide for sequence-specific recognition and processing of other RNA molecules. This lab investigates the regulatory mechanisms of RNA interference, RNA-mediated translational control, and nuclear pre-mRNA splicing. Classical and combinatorial biochemical techniques are used to analyze the function of the RNA- and protein-components involved in those processes.

Tool for multiple sequence alignment using various sources of external information that is particularly useful to detect local homologies in sequences with low overall similarity. While standard alignment methods rely on comparing single residues and imposing gap penalties, DIALIGN constructs pairwise and multiple alignments by comparing entire segments of the sequences. No gap penalty is used. This approach can be used for both global and local alignment, but it is particularly successful in situations where sequences share only local homologies. Several versions of DIALIGN are available online at GOBICS, http://dialign.gobics.de/
