Comprehensive listing of androgen receptor gene mutations published in journals and meetings proceedings. The majority of mutations are point mutations identified in patients with androgen insensitivity syndrome. Information is included regarding the phenotype, the nature and location of the mutations, as well as the effects of the mutations on the androgen binding activity of the receptor. In light of the difficulty in getting new AR mutations published the curator will now accept new mutations that have not been published, provided that it is from a reputable research or clinical laboratory. The database incorporates information on the exon 1 CAG repeat expansion disease, spinobulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA), as well as CAG repeat length variations associated with risk for female breast, uterine endometrial, colorectal, and prostate cancer, as well as for male infertility. The possible implications of somatic mutations, as opposed to germline mutations, in the development of future locus-specific mutation databases (LSDBs) is discussed.
The database now provides information on the external genitalia and on sex - of - rearing. Additionally, the new version of the database has an entry to show if pathogenicity has been proven. A pdf and fully searchable version of the Database is available for download.

The HumanCyc database describes human metabolic pathways and the human genome. By presenting metabolic pathways as an organizing framework for the human genome, HumanCyc provides the user with an extended dimension for functional analysis of Homo sapiens at the genomic level. A computational pathway analysis of the human genome assigned human enzymes to predicted metabolic pathways. Pathway assignments place genes in their larger biological context, and are a necessary step toward quantitative modeling of metabolism. HumanCyc contains the complete genome sequence of Homo sapiens, as presented in Build 31. Data on the human genome from Ensembl, LocusLink and GenBank were carefully merged to create a minimally redundant human gene set to serve as an input to SRI''s PathoLogic software, which generated the database and predicted Homo sapiens metabolic pathways from functional information contained in the genome''s annotation. SRI did not re-annotate the genome, but worked with the gene function assignments in Ensembl, LocusLink, and GenBank. The resulting pathway/genome database (PGDB) includes information on 28,783 genes, their products and the metabolic reactions and pathways they catalyze. Also included are many links to other databases and publications. The Pathway Tools software/database bundle includes HumanCyc and the Pathway Tools software suite and is available under license. This form of HumanCyc is faster and more powerful than the Web version.

The goal of this project is to decipher the transcriptional information contained in the extensive cis-acting DNA sequences that direct the patterns of gene expression that underlie animal development. Using the early embryo of the fruitfly Drosophila melanogaster as a model, these researchers are developing experimental and computational methods to systematically characterize and dissect the complex expression patterns and regulatory interactions already present prior to gastrulation. They have identified 37 principal regulatory factors within this network for initial analysis together with their target genes. Sponsors: This project is chiefly funded by a grant from NIGMS and NHGRI, R01 GM070444. Additional funding comes from grants to Michael Eisen, Sue Celniker, and Bernd Hamann.

GIN-IE is a high precision system for extracting protein/gene interactions, interaction cue words, and directionality from the literature. Syntax-aware inferences about the roles of the entities are made by using the syntactic and dependency parse tree structures of the sentences. Negation and speculation are frequently occurring language phenomena that modify the factuality of the information contained in text. GIN-IE detects and distinguishes interactions that are extracted from negated or speculative sentences. GIN-IE has been integrated with the NCIBI PubMed daily update and processing pipeline. The extracted interactions are accessible through MimiWeb.

High throughput screening services to identify small molecules that can be optimized as chemical probes to study the functions of genes, cells, and biochemical pathways, along with medicinal chemistry and informatics. This will lead to new ways to explore the functions of genes and signaling pathways in health and disease. The NIH Molecular Libraries Initiative NIH is designed to discover small molecules that interact with biologically important proteins and pathways and to provide open access to the bioassay and chemical data generated by its research centers. This will lead to new ways to explore the functions of genes and signaling pathways in health and disease. As these HTS Technologies were not previously available to the public sector, many investigators may not be familiar with the components and requirements of high throughput screening. A key challenge is to identify small molecules effective at modulating a given biological process or disease state. The Molecular Libraries Roadmap, through one of its components, the Molecular Libraries Probe Production Centers Network (MLPCN), offers biomedical researchers access to the large-scale screening capacity, along with medicinal chemistry and informatics necessary to identify chemical probes to study the functions of genes, cells, and biochemical pathways. This will lead to new ways to explore the functions of genes and signaling pathways in health and disease. There are two kinds of data that are available to the scientific community through a dedicated database: Chemical Compounds and Bioassay Results (NCBI). Various types of data, including informative records on substances, compound structures, and biologically active properties of small molecules are housed respectively within PubChem''''s three primary databases: PCSubstance, PCCompound, and PCBioAssay. To date, PubChem contains over 11 million substance records, details about approximately 5.5 million unique compound structures with links to bioassay descriptions, relevant literature, references, and assay data points and over 250 bioassays, a good percentage of which were contributed by the pilot phase of the MLP. The deposition will continue during the current MLPCN phase. NIH anticipates that these projects will also facilitate the development of new drugs, by providing early stage chemical compounds that will enable researchers in the public and private sectors to validate new drug targets, which could then move into the drug-development pipeline. This is particularly true for rare diseases, which may not be attractive for development by the private sector. Funding opportunities are available through the site.

Exploratory Gene Association Networks (EGAN) is a software tool that allows a bench biologist to visualize and interpret the results of high-throughput exploratory assays in an interactive hypergraph of genes, relationships (protein-protein interactions, literature co-occurrence, etc.) and meta-data (annotation, signaling pathways, etc.). EGAN provides comprehensive, automated calculation of meta-data coincidence (over-representation, enrichment) for user- and assay-defined gene lists, and provides direct links to web resources and literature (NCBI Entrez Gene, PubMed, KEGG, Gene Ontology, iHOP, Google, etc.). EGAN functions as a module for exploratory investigation of analysis results from multiple high-throughput assay technologies, including but not limited to: * Transcriptomics via expression microarrays or RNA-Seq * Genomics via SNP GWAS or array CGH * Proteomics via MS/MS peptide identifications * Epigenomics via DNA methylation, ChIP-on-Chip or ChIP-Seq * In-silico analysis of sequences or literature EGAN has been built using Cytoscape libraries for graph visualization and layout, and is comparable to DAVID, GSEA, Ingenuity IPA and Ariadne Pathway Studio. There are pre-collated EGAN networks available for human (Homo sapiens), mouse (Mus musculus), rat (Rattus norvegicus), chicken (Gallus gallus), zebrafish (Danio rerio), fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster), nematode (Caenorhabditis elegans), mouse-ear cress (Arabidopsis thaliana), rice (Oryza sativa) and brewer's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). There is now an EGAN module available for GenePattern (human-only). Platform: Windows compatible, Mac OS X compatible, Linux compatible
