https://github.com/arq5x/bedtools2
A powerful toolset for genome arithmetic allowing one to address common genomics tasks such as finding feature overlaps and computing coverage. Bedtools allows one to intersect, merge, count, complement, and shuffle genomic intervals from multiple files in widely-used genomic file formats such as BAM, BED, GFF/GTF, VCF. While each individual tool is designed to do a relatively simple task (e.g., intersect two interval files), quite sophisticated analyses can be conducted by combining multiple bedtools operations on the UNIX command line.

http://sammeth.net/confluence/display/ASTA/2+-+Download
Tool that extracts and displays alternative splicing (AS) events from a given genomic annotation of exon-intron gene coordinates. By comparing all given transcripts, it detects the variations in their splicing structure and identifies all AS events (like exon skipping, alternate donor, etc) by assigning to each of them an AS code. It provides a visual summary of the AS landscape in the analyzed dataset, the possibility to browse the results on the UCSC website or to download them in GTF or ASTA format. You can use AStalavista for any genome by providing your own annotation set, the identifier of your gene(s) of interest, or analyze the AS landscape of reference annotation datasets like Gencode, RefSeq, Ensembl, FlyBase, etc.

http://www.pathwaycommons.org/pc
Database of publicly available pathways from multiple organisms and multiple sources represented in a common language. Pathways include biochemical reactions, complex assembly, transport and catalysis events, and physical interactions involving proteins, DNA, RNA, small molecules and complexes. Pathways were downloaded directly from source databases. Each source pathway database has been created differently, some by manual extraction of pathway information from the literature and some by computational prediction. Pathway Commons provides a filtering mechanism to allow the user to view only chosen subsets of information, such as only the manually curated subset. The quality of Pathway Commons pathways is dependent on the quality of the pathways from source databases. Pathway Commons aims to collect and integrate all public pathway data available in standard formats. It currently contains data from nine databases with over 1,668 pathways, 442,182 interactions,414 organisms and will be continually expanded and updated. (April 2013)
