Database that integrates and disseminates the data from the cloning of complete set of predicted protein-encoding ORFs of Caenorhabditis elegans. It also allows the community to search for availability and quality of cloned ORFs. So far, ORF sequence tags (OSTs) obtained for all individual clones have allowed exon structure corrections for ORFs originally predicted by the C. elegans sequencing consortium. The database contains this OST information along with data pertinent to the cloning process.

A comprehensive biochemical knowledge-base on human metabolism, this community-driven, consensus metabolic reconstruction integrates metabolic information from five different resources: * Recon 1, a global human metabolic reconstruction (Duarte et al, PNAS, 104(6), 1777-1782, 2007) * EHMN, Edinburgh Human Metabolic Network (Hao et al., BMC Bioinformatics 11, 393, 2010) * HepatoNet1, a liver metabolic reconstruction (Gille et al., Molecular Systems Biology 6, 411, 2010), * Ac/FAO module, an acylcarnitine/fatty acid oxidation module (Sahoo et al., Molecular bioSystems 8, 2545-2558, 2012), * a human small intestinal enterocytes reconstruction (Sahoo and Thiele, submitted). Additionally, more than 370 transport and exchange reactions were added, based on a literature review. Recon 2 is fully semantically annotated (Le Nov��re, N. et al. Nat Biotechnol 23, 1509-1515, 2005) with references to persistent and publicly available chemical and gene databases, unambiguously identifying its components and increasing its applicability for third-party users. Here you can explore the content of the reconstruction by searching/browsing metabolites and reactions. Recon 2 predictive model is available in the Systems Biology Markup Language format.

Database to search through the nucleic acid structures from the Protein Data Bank and examine structural motifs, including (a)symmetric internal loops, bulge loops, and hairpin loops. They have compiled over 2,000 three-dimensional structures, which can now be searched using different parameters, including PDB information, experimental technique, sequence, and motif type. RNA secondary structure is important for designing therapeutics, understanding protein-RNA binding and predicting tertiary structure of RNA. Several databases and downloadable programs exist that specialize in the three-dimensional (3D) structure of RNA, but none focus specifically on secondary structural motifs such as internal, bulge and hairpin loops. To create the RNA CoSSMos database, 2156 Protein Data Bank (PDB) files were searched for internal, bulge and hairpin loops, and each loop''''s structural information, including sugar pucker, glycosidic linkage, hydrogen bonding patterns and stacking interactions, was included in the database. False positives were defined, identified and reclassified or omitted from the database to ensure the most accurate results possible. Users can search via general PDB information, experimental parameters, sequence and specific motif and by specific structural parameters in the subquery page after the initial search. Returned results for each search can be viewed individually or a complete set can be downloaded into a spreadsheet to allow for easy comparison. The RNA CoSSMos database is updated weekly.

SLIF finds fluorescence microscope images in on-line journal articles, and indexes them according to cell line, proteins visualized, and resolution. Images can be accessed via the SLIF Web database. SLIF takes on-line papers and scans them for figures that contain fluorescence microscope images (FMIs). Figures typically contain multiple FMIs, to SLIF must segment these images into individual FMIs. When the FMI images are extracted, annotations for the images (for instance, names of proteins and cell-lines) are also extracted from the accompanying caption text. Protein annotation are also used to link to external databases, such as the Gene Ontology DB. The more detailed process includes: segmentation of images into panels; panel classification, to find FMIs; segmentation of the caption, to find which portions of the caption apply to which panels; text-based entity extraction; matching of extracted entities to database entries; extraction of panel labels from text and figures; and alignment of the text segments to the panels. Extracted FMIs are processed to find subcellular location features (SLFs), and the resulting analyzed, annotated figures are stored in a database, which is accessible via SQL queries.

Ribonuclease P is responsible for the 5''-maturation of tRNA precursors. Ribonuclease P is a ribonucleoprotein, and in bacteria (and some Archaea) the RNA subunit alone is catalytically active in vitro, i.e. it is a ribozyme. The Ribonuclease P Database is a compilation of ribonuclease P sequences, sequence alignments, secondary structures, three-dimensional models and accessory information. The database contains information on bacterial, archaeal, and eukaryotic RNase P. The RNase P and protein sequences are available from phylogentically-arranged lists, individual sequences, or aligned in GenBank format. The database also provides secondary structures and 3D models, as well as movies, still images, and other accessory information.

A curated, open-source, web-accessible resource for functional analysis of agricultural plant and animal gene products. Our long-term goal is to serve the needs of the agricultural research communities by facilitating post-genome biology for agriculture researchers and for those researchers primarily using agricultural species as biomedical models. AgBase provides tools designed to assist with the analysis of proteomics data and tools to evaluate experimental datasets using the GO. Additional tools for sequence analysis are also provided. We use controlled vocabularies developed by the Gene Ontology (GO) Consortium to describe molecular function, biological process, and cellular component for genes and gene products in agricultural species. AgBase will also accept annotations from any interested party in the research communities. AgBase develops freely available tools for functional analysis, including tools for using GO. We appreciate any and all questions, comments, and suggestions. AgBase uses the NCBI Blast program for searches for similar sequences. And the Taxonomy Browser allows users to find the NCBI defined taxon ID for or taxon name for different organisms.

The Aptamer Database is a comprehensive, annotated repository for information about aptamers and in vitro selection. This resource is provided to collect, organize and distribute all the known information regarding aptamer selection. Aptamers are DNA or RNA molecules that have been selected from random pools based on their ability to bind other molecules. Aptamers have been selected which bind nucleic acid, proteins, small organic compounds, and even entire organisms.

Database for analyzing drug-target interactions, it integrates drug-related information associated with medical indications, adverse drug effects, drug metabolism, pathways and Gene Ontology (GO) terms for target proteins. At present (May 2013), the updated database contains >6000 target proteins, which are annotated with >330 000 relations to 196 000 compounds (including approved drugs); the vast majority of interactions include binding affinities and pointers to the respective literature sources. The user interface provides tools for drug screening and target similarity inclusion. A query interface enables the user to pose complex queries, for example, to find drugs that target a certain pathway, interacting drugs that are metabolized by the same cytochrome P450 or drugs that target proteins within a certain affinity range.
