http://mltreemap.org/

Data analysis service that analyzes DNA sequences and determines their most likely phylogenetic origin. Its main use is in metagenomics projects, where DNA is isolated directly from natural environments and sequenced (the organisms from which the DNA originates are often entirely undescribed). It will search such sequences for suitable marker genes, and will use maximum likelihood analysis to place them in the ''''Tree of Life''''. This placement is more reliable than simply assessing the closest relative of a sequence using BLAST. More importantly, MLTreeMap decides not only who is the closest relative of your query sequence, but also how deep in the tree of life it probably branched off. Additionally, MLTreeMap searches the sequences for genes, which are coding for key enzymes of important functional pathways, such as RuBisCo, methane monooxygenase or nitrogenase. In case of a positive hit, MLTreeMap uses maximum likelihood analysis to place them in the respective ''''gene-family tree''''.

http://www.dbs.ifi.lmu.de/~bundschu/LHGDN.html

A text mining derived database with focus on extracting and classifying gene-disease associations with respect to several biomolecular conditions. It uses a machine learning based algorithm to extract semantic gene-disease relations from a textual source of interest. The semantic gene-disease relations were extracted with F-measures of 78. More specifically, the textual source utilized here originates from Entrez Gene''''s GeneRIF (Gene Reference Into Function) database (Mitchell, et al., 2003). LHGDN was created based on a GeneRIF version from March 31st, 2009, consisting of 414241 phrases. These phrases were further restricted to the organism Homo sapiens, which resulted in a total of 178004 phrases. We benchmark our approach on two different tasks. The first task is the identification of semantic relations between diseases and treatments. The available data set consists of manually annotated PubMed abstracts. The second task is the identification of relations between genes and diseases from a set of concise phrases, so-called GeneRIF (Gene Reference Into Function) phrases. In our experimental setting, we do not assume that the entities are given, as is often the case in previous relation extraction work. Rather the extraction of the entities is solved as a subproblem. Compared with other state-of-the-art approaches, we achieve very competitive results on both data sets. To demonstrate the scalability of our solution, we apply our approach to the complete human GeneRIF database. The resulting gene-disease network contains 34758 semantic associations between 4939 genes and 1745 diseases. The gene-disease network is publicly available as a machine-readable RDF graph. We extend the framework of Conditional Random Fields towards the annotation of semantic relations from text and apply it to the biomedical domain. Our approach is based on a rich set of textual features and achieves a performance that is competitive to leading approaches. The model is quite general and can be extended to handle arbitrary biological entities and relation types. The resulting gene-disease network shows that the GeneRIF database provides a rich knowledge source for text mining.

http://www.phenologs.org/

Database for identifying orthologous phenotypes (phenologs). Mapping between genotype and phenotype is often non-obvious, complicating prediction of genes underlying specific phenotypes. This problem can be addressed through comparative analyses of phenotypes. We define phenologs based upon overlapping sets of orthologous genes associated with each phenotype. Comparisons of >189,000 human, mouse, yeast, and worm gene-phenotype associations reveal many significant phenologs, including novel non-obvious human disease models. For example, phenologs suggest a yeast model for mammalian angiogenesis defects and an invertebrate model for vertebrate neural tube birth defects. Phenologs thus create a rich framework for comparing mutational phenotypes, identify adaptive reuse of gene systems, and suggest new disease genes. To search for phenologs, go to the basic search page and enter a list of genes in the box provided, using Entrez gene identifiers for mouse/human genes, locus ids for yeast (e.g., YHR200W), or sequence names for worm (e.g., B0205.3). It is expected that this list of genes will all be associated with a particular system, trait, mutational phenotype, or disease. The search will return all identified model organism/human mutational phenotypes that show any overlap with the input set of the genes, ranked according to their hypergeometric probability scores. Clicking on a particular phenolog will result in a list of genes associated with the phenotype, from which potential new candidate genes can identified. Currently known phenotypes in the database are available from the link labeled ''Find phenotypes'', where the associated gene can be submitted as queries, or alternately, can be searched directly from the link provided.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on July 16, 2013. This database is intended to serve as a learning tool to obtain curated information for the design of microarray targets to scan collecting duct tissues (human, rat, mouse). The database focuses on regulatory and transporter proteins expressed in the collecting duct, but when collecting duct proteins are a member of a larger family of proteins, common additional members of the family are included even if they have not been demonstrated to be expressed in the collecting duct. An Internet-accessible database has been devised for major collecting duct proteins involved in transport and regulation of cellular processes. The individual proteins included in this database are those culled from literature searches and from previously published studies involving cDNA arrays and serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE). Design of microarray targets for the study of kidney collecting duct tissues is facilitated by the database, which includes links to curated base pair and amino acid sequence data, relevant literature, and related databases. Use of the database is illustrated by a search for water channel proteins, aquaporins, and by a subsequent search for vasopressin receptors. Links are shown to the literature and to sequence data for human, rat, and mouse, as well as to relevant web-based resources. Extension of the database is dynamic and is done through a maintenance interface. This permits creation of new categories, updating of existing entries, and addition of new ones. CDDB is a database that organizes lists of genes found in collecting duct tissues from three mammalian species: human, rat, and mouse. Proteins are divided into categories by family relationships and functional classification, and each category is assigned a section in the database. Each section includes links to the literature and to sequence information for genes, proteins, expressed sequence tags, and related information. The user can peruse a section or use a search engine at the bottom of the web page to search the database for a name or abbreviation or for a link to a sequence. Each entry in the database includes links to relevant papers in the kidney and collecting duct literature. It uses links to PubMed to generate MEDLINE searches for retrieval of references. In addition, each entry includes links to curated sequence data available in LocusLink. Individual links are made to sequence and protein data for human, rat, and mouse. Links are then added as curated sequences become available for proteins identified in the renal collecting duct and for proteins identified in kidney and similar in function or homologous to proteins identified in the collecting duct.
