http://gmod.org/wiki/Main_Page

A collection of open source software tools for creating and managing genome-scale biological databases. GMOD is made up databases, applications, and adaptor software that connects these components together. You can use it to create a small laboratory database of genome annotations, or a large web-accessible community database. At first GMOD just featured model organisms but now any organism with any kind of sequence associated with it is a good candidate as a subject for a GMOD database. There are GMOD databases with just protein sequence in them, with EST sequence only, those that are concerned primarily with gene expression, and even those dedicated to collections of RNA sequence. They have also heard of GMOD databases for oligonucleotides and plasmids.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 23,2022. Time-series data sets spanning twelve time-points between E12-P9 for exploring cerebellar development of the mouse in time and space. The database contains a number of mutant / wildtype microarray datasets including two complete wildtype microarray time-series (C57BL/6 and DBA/2J). The dataset also includes in situ hybridization and bioinformatic analyses. Exploration of this dataset will allow the investigator to assess differential gene expression profiles from a developing mutant cerebella, to assess the temporal changes in gene expression in the wildtype, and to verify the cellular expression of these genes in images from our in situ hybridization library. Using the database, the investigator can explore the developmental expression or differential expression patterns of a particular gene, or create lists of similarly expression genes by building simple search algorithms. These lists can then be mined across all the datasets in both space and time. Cb GRiTS's current datasets represent gene expression analyses from multiple cerebellar mutant and wildtype single time-point and developmental series.

http://incf.org/about/programs/modeling/blue-gene-access

Through this site, INCF provides he neuroinformatics community with access to an IBM Blue Gene/L supercomputer. INCF owns a share of a BlueGene/L (BG/L) supercomputer located at the Parallel Computer Center (PDC) at The Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm. Allocations are now available through the INCF Secretariat. During an initial evaluation phase, a limited numbers of large-scale computing projects will be selected, based on the suitability of the project for supercomputing. Research groups with limited access to supercomputers at their home institutions are given priority. Approved projects are regularly re-evaluated. New projects are approved based on availability and usage load of the BG/L. The Blue Gene/L supercomputer project is aimed at expanding the horizon of high-performance computing to unprecedented levels of scale and performance. Blue Gene/L is the first supercomputer in the Blue Gene family. The full Blue Gene/L consists of 64 racks containing 65,536 high-performance compute nodes. Each node (nodes and chips are the same in the Blue Gene system) contains two embedded 32-bit PowerPC processors. Furthermore, the same chip that is used for compute nodes is also used for the 1,024 I/O nodes. A three-dimensional torus network and a collective network are used to interconnect all nodes. The full system contains 33 terabytes of main memory; it is designed to achieve 183.5 teraflops peak performance using one of the processors of each node for computation and the other processor for communication, and 367 teraflops using both processors for computation. Another key architectural feature of this supercomputer is the link chip component and five Blue Gene/L networks, the PowerPC 440 core and floating-point enhancements, the on-chip and off-chip distributed memory system, the node- and system-level design for high reliability, and the comprehensive approach to fault isolation. One of the key objectives in Blue Gene/L design is to achieve cost/performance comparable to the COTS (Commodity Off The Shelf) approach, while at the same time incorporating a processor and network combination so powerful that it revolutionizes the performance of supercomputer systems.

MedMOLE improves the comprehension of microarray experimental results by grouping co-regulated genes on the basis of the informational content of MEDLINE documents. The tool relies on two components: a gene name extractor and a mining algorithm. The name extractor is based on existing dictionaries of gene names and aliases. The mining algorithm analyses the co-occurrences of words in the selected documents in order to automatically interpret the context, identify where the gene names appear, and map documents/genes into functional classes. DNA microarray technology is a high throughput method for gaining information on gene function. This large amount of data can be analyzed to identify groups of genes that share common expression characteristics, but the obtained results provide little information regarding the presence of functional biological correlations of genes within clusters. The published literature, on the other hand, provides a potential source of information to assist in interpretation of clustering results. We have developed a tool (MedMOLE) that improves the comprehension of microarray experimental results by grouping co-regulated genes on the basis of the informational content of MEDLINE documents. The tool relies on two components: a gene name extractor and a mining algorithm. The name extractor is based on existing dictionaries of gene names and aliases. The mining algorithm analyses the co-occurrences of words in the selected documents in order to automatically interpret the context, identify where the gene names appear, and map documents/genes into functional classes. Microarray transcriptional profiling is a powerful tool used in the study of transcriptional control mechanisms. An important point in the analysis of microarray data is the identification of hidden correlations between the differentially expressed genes generated upon some kind of cell stimulus. Functional annotation is an important topic for microarray data mining, however this is quite limited for complex organisms (e.g. H. sapiens, M. musculus) where a limited number of genes are well characterized and annotated. However, functional data are rapidly accumulating in the scientific literature and most of them are collected by MEDLINE, a database that contains over 11,000,000 biomedical journal citations. A microarray analysis usually generates few hundred of differentially expressed genes and, after statistical validation of the data and transcription profiles clustering, biologists try to identify genes functionally correlated by scientific literature analysis. Even if some tools have been recently developed to simplify information extraction on the MEDLINE database, reading every article requires too much time and labor. Therefore, it is necessary to have some kind of intelligent information extracting system that recognizes gene names inside the texts. The analysis of text documents (e.g. MEDLINE abstracts) can be approached by two different points of view: text mining and information extraction (I.E.). The former aims at the automatic identification of groups of documents that share the same patterns of words, and thus refer to the same topic or theme. The latter aims at providing a structured representation of the textual information and requires a pre-definition of entities and relationships to be looked for inside texts. Thus while the text mining algorithms are general purpose, the information extraction algorithms are specific to the application. Furthermore, the text mining approach is explorative and enables the discovery of new concepts and relations while information extraction only extracts those elements that have already been defined. These two approaches can be integrated: information extraction tools generate databases that can be analyzed using data mining techniques, and, on the other side, text mining tools might take advantage of specific domain information extracted using I.E. techniques. MedMOLE takes advantage of text mining techniques, and simplifies the extraction of functional knowledge by literature abstracts directly/indirectly related to differentially expressed genes identified by microarray technology.

A resource for viewing annotated genes arising from various Aspergillus sequencing and annotation projects, resulting from the merging of Central Aspergillus Data REpository (CADRE) and The Aspergillus Website, which took place in June 2008. The principal role of CADRE is to aid the Aspergillus research community by managing Aspergillus genome data and by providing visualization tools, ranging from relatively simple annotation displays to more complex data integration displays. In contrast, The Aspergillus Website provides a range of information to the medical community (i.e., clinicians, patients and scientists) regarding the genus Aspergillus and the diseases, such as Aspergillosis, that it can cause. CADRE has been implemented using the Ensembl v22 suite. This suite comprises: * a database schema, which has been devised for storing annotated eukaryotic genomes. The schema is implemented with the MySQL relational database management system. * several specialized programming modules for building interfaces (i.e., BioPerl and Ensembl API modules). * a series of programs (i.e., Perl CGI scripts using the API modules) for viewing genomic data within a web browser., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE.

Database providing a systematic and comprehensive view of morphological phenotypes regulated by plant hormones, as well as regulatory genes participating in numerous plant hormone responses. By integrating the data from mutant studies, transgenic analysis and gene ontology annotation, genes related to the stimulus of eight plant hormones were identified, including abscisic acid, auxin, brassinosteroid, cytokinin, ethylene, gibberellin, jasmonic acid and salicylic acid. Another pronounced characteristics of this database is that a phenotype ontology was developed to precisely describe all kinds of morphological processes regulated by plant hormones with standardized vocabularies. To increase the coverage of phytohormone related genes, the database has been updated from AHD to AHD2.0 adding and integrating several pronounced features: (1) added 291 newly published Arabidopsis hormone related genes as well as corrected information (e.g. the arguable ABA receptors) based on the recent 2-year literature; (2) integrated orthologues of sequenced plants in OrthoMCLDB into each gene in the database; (3) integrated predicted miRNA splicing site in each gene in the database; (4) provided genetic relationship of these phytohormone related genes mining from literature, which represents the first effort to construct a relatively comprehensive and complex network of hormone related genes as shown in the home page of our database; (5) In convenience to in-time bioinformatics analysis, they also provided links to a powerful online analysis platform Weblab that they have recently developed, which will allow users to readily perform various sequence analysis with these phytohormone related genes retrieved from AHD2.0; (6) provided links to other protein databases as well as more expression profiling information that would facilitate users for a more systematic analysis related to phytohormone research. Please help to improve the database with your contributions.
