This database contains information on protein expression in the Drosophila melanogaster brain. It consists of a collection of 3D confocal datasets taken from EYFP expressing protein trap Drosophila lines from the Cambridge Protein Trap project. Currently there are 884 brain scans from 535 protein trap lines in the database. Drosophila protein trap strains were generated by the St Johnston Lab and the Russell Lab at the University of Cambridge, UK. The piggyBac insertion method was used to insert constructs containing splice acceptor and donor sites, StrepII and FLAG affinity purification tags, and an EYFP exon (Venus). Brain images were acquired by Seymour Knowles-Barley, in the Armstrong Lab at the University of Edinburgh. Whole brain mounts were imaged by confocal microscopy, with a background immunohistochemical label added to aid the identification of brain structures. Additional immunohistochemical labeling of the EYFP protein using an anti-GFP antibody was also used in most cases. The trapped protein signal (EYFP / anti-GFP), background signal (NC82 label), and the merged signal can be viewed on the website by using the corresponding channel buttons. In all images the trapped protein / EYFP signal appears green and the background / NC82 channel appears magenta. Original .lsm image files are also available for download.

Excel-based tool using pair-wise correlations for determination of stable housekeeping genes, differentially regulated target genes and sample integrity. It determines the best suited standards, out of ten candidates, and combines them into an index. The index can be compared with further ten target genes to decide, whether they are differentially expressed under an applied treatment. All data processing is based on crossing points.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on April 28,2023. An initiative to develop a molecular classification schema that is both clinically and biologically meaningful, based on gene expression and genomic data from tumors (Gliomas) of patients who will be prospectively followed through natural history and treatment phase of their illness. The study will also explore gene expression profiles to determine the responsiveness of the patients and correlate with discrete chromosomal abnormalities. The initiative was designed to obtain a large amount of molecular data on DNA and RNA of freshly collected tumor samples that were collected, processed and analyzed in a standardized fashion to allow for large-scale cross sample analysis. The sample collection is accompanied by careful and prospective clinical data acquisition, allowing a variety of matched molecular and clinical data permitting a wide variety of analyses. GMDI has accrued fresh frozen tumors in the retrospective phase (all from the Henry Ford Hospital, without germline DNA) and fresh frozen tumors in the prospective phase (from a variety of institutions). In addition to characterizing the samples from patients enrolled in GMDI, the microarray group has generated genomic-scale analyses of the many human and canine glioma initiating cells/glioma stem cells (GIC/GSC) lines, as well as many canine and murine normal neural stem cell (NSC) lines produced in laboratory.

Database of genetic and molecular biological information about Candida albicans. Contains information about genes and proteins, descriptions and classifications of their biological roles, molecular functions, and subcellular localizations, gene, protein, and chromosome sequence information, tools for analysis and comparison of sequences and links to literature information. Each CGD gene or open reading frame has an individual Locus Page. Genetic loci that are not tied to DNA sequence also have Locus Pages. Provides Gene Ontology, GO, to all its users. Three ontologies that comprise GO (Molecular Function, Cellular Component, and Biological Process) are used by multiple databases to annotate gene products, so that this common vocabulary can be used to compare gene products across species. Development of ontologies is ongoing in order to incorporate new information. Data submissions are welcome.

We have developed an integrated SNP discovery pipeline, which identifies SNPs from assembled EST sequences. The results are maintained in a custom relational database along with EST source and annotation information. The current database hosts data for the important crops rice, barley and Brassica. Users may rapidly identify polymorphic sequences of interest through BLAST sequence comparison, keyword searches of annotations derived from UniRef90 and GenBank comparisons, GO annotations or in genes corresponding to syntenic regions of reference genomes. In addition, SNPs between specific varieties may be identified for targeted mapping and association studies. SNPs are viewed using a user-friendly graphical interface. The implementation of autoSNPdb allows researchers to query the results of SNP analysis to characterize SNPs between specific groups of individuals or within genes with predicted function. The system is flexible and researchers may add additional levels of annotation, and perform novel queries specific to their area of interest. If you have sequence data you'd like to include please contact Dave Edwards.

Catalog of all changes detected in PKHD1 (Polycystic Kidney and Hepatic Disease 1) in a locus specific database. Investigators are invited to submit their novel data to this database. These data should be meaningful for clinical practice as well as of relevance for the reader interested in molecular aspects of polycystic kidney disease (PKD). There are also some links and information for ARPKD patients and their parents. Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD/PKHD1) is an important cause of renal-related and liver-related morbidity and mortality in childhood. This study reports mutation screening in 90 ARPKD patients and identifies mutations in 110 alleles making up a detection rate of 61%. Thirty-four of the detected mutations have not been reported previously. Two underlying mutations in 40 patients and one mutation in 30 cases are disclosed, and no mutation was detected on the remaining chromosomes. Mutations were found to be scattered throughout the gene without evidence of clustering at specific sites. PKHD1 mutation analysis is a powerful tool to establish the molecular cause of ARPKD in a given family. Direct identification of mutations allows an unequivocal diagnosis and accurate genetic counseling even in families displaying diagnostic challenges.

https://www.genevestigator.com/gv/

A high performance search engine for gene expression that integrates thousands of manually curated public microarray and RNAseq experiments and nicely visualizes gene expression across different biological contexts (diseases, drugs, tissues, cancers, genotypes, etc.). There are two basic analysis approaches: # for a gene of interest, identify which conditions affect its expression. # for condition(s) of interest, identify which genes are specifically expressed in this/these conditions. Genevestigator builds on the deep integration of data, both at the level of data normalization and on the level of sample annotations. This deep integration allows scientists to ask new types of questions that cannot be addressed using conventional tools.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 6,2023. Web interface to the ANNOVAR software, a tool to annotate functional consequences of genetic variation from high-throughput sequencing data, to help biologists without bioinformatics skills to easily submit a list of mutations (even whole-genome variants calls) to the web server, select the desired annotation categories, and receive functional annotation back by emails. Given a list of single nucleotide variants (SNVs) and insertions / deletions in VCF or ANNOVAR input format, wANNOVAR annotates their functional effects on genes (such as amino acid changes for non-synonymous SNPs), calculate their predicted functional importance scores (such as SIFT and PolyPhen scores), retrieve allele frequencies in public databases (such as the 1000 Genomes Project and NHLBI-ESP 6500 exomes), and implement a variants reduction protocol to identify a subset of potentially deleterious variants., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE.
