http://pir.georgetown.edu/resid/
A comprehensive collection of annotations and structures for protein modifications including amino-terminal, carboxyl-terminal and peptide chain cross-link post-translational modifications. It provides: systematic and alternate names, atomic formulas and masses, enzyme activities generating the modifications, keywords, literature citations, Gene Ontology cross-references, Protein Information Resource (PIR) and SWISS-PROT protein sequence database feature table annotations, structure diagrams and molecular models. Each RESID Database entry presents a chemically unique modification and shows how that modification is currently annotated in the protein sequence databases, Swiss-Prot and the Protein Information Resource (PIR). The RESID Database provides a table of corresponding equivalent feature annotations that is used in the UniProt project, an international effort to combine the resources of the Swiss-Prot, TrEMBL and PIR. As an annotation tool, the RESID Database is used in standardizing and enhancing modification descriptions in the feature tables of Swiss-Prot entries.

IPI provides a top level guide to the main databases (UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot, UniProtKB/TrEMBL, RefSeq, Ensembl, TAIR, H-InvDB, Vega) that describe the proteomes of higher eukaryotic organisms. IPI: :1. effectively maintains a database of cross references between the primary data sources :2. provides minimally redundant yet maximally complete sets of proteins for featured species (one sequence per transcript) :3. maintains stable identifiers (with incremental versioning) to allow the tracking of sequences in IPI between IPI releases. IPI is updated monthly in accordance with the latest data released by the primary data sources. As previously announced, the closure of IPI has been proposed for some time. Replacement data sets are now available through UniProt for human and mouse; sets for the other species contained within IPI are expected to be included as part of the UniProt release 2011_07. To allow users time to transition to using the new UniProt data sets, IPI releases will continue to be produced throughout the summer. The final release will be made in September 2011. Thereafter, the IPI website will cease to be maintained, although previous releases of the dataset will continue to be available from the FTP site. We would like to thank our users for their support and interest in this service.

A set of specialist databases related to the study of polymorphic genes in the immune system. The IPD project works with specialist groups or nomenclature committees who provide and curate individual sections before they are submitted to IPD for online publication. The IPD project stores all the data in a set of related databases. IPD currently consists of four databases: * IPD-KIR, contains the allelic sequences of Killer-cell Immunoglobulin-like Receptors, * IPD-MHC, is a database of sequences of the Major Histocompatibility Complex of different species; * IPD-human platelet antigens, alloantigens expressed only on platelets and * IPD-ESTDAB, which provides access to the European Searchable Tumour cell-line database, a cell bank of immunologically characterized melanoma cell lines.

WebServer that identifies high-probability signaling and regulatory paths that connect input data sets. The input includes two weighted lists of condition-related proteins and genes, such as a set of disease-associated proteins and a set of differentially expressed disease genes, and a molecular interaction network (i.e., interactome). The output is a sparse, high-probability interactome sub-network connecting the two sets that is biased toward signaling pathways. This sub-network exposes additional proteins that are potentially involved in the studied condition and their likely modes of action. Computationally, it is formulated as a minimum-cost flow optimization problem that is solved using linear programming.

PILGRM (the platform for interactive learning by genomics results mining) puts advanced supervised analysis techniques applied to enormous gene expression compendia into the hands of bench biologists. This flexible system empowers its users to answer diverse biological questions that are often outside of the scope of common databases in a data-driven manner. This capability allows domain experts to quickly and easily generate hypotheses about biological processes, tissues or diseases of interest. Specifically PILGRM helps biologists generate these hypotheses by analyzing the expression levels of known relevant genes in large compendia of microarray data. PILGRM is for the biologist with a set of proteins relevant to a disease, biological function or tissue of interest who wants to find additional players in that process. It uses a data driven method that provides added value for literature search results by mining compendia of publicly available gene expression datasets using lists of relevant and irrelevant genes (standards). PILGRM produces publication quality PDFs usable as supplementary material to describe the computational approach, standards and datasets. Each PILGRM analysis starts with an important biological question (e.g. What genes are relevant for breast cancer but not mammary tissue in general?). For PILGRM to discover relevant genes, it needs examples of both genes that you would (positive) and would not (negative) find interesting. Lists of these genes are what we call standards and in PILGRM you can build your own standards or you can use standards from common sources that we pre-load for your convenience. PILGRM lets you build your own literature-documented standards so that processes, disease, and tissues that are not well covered in databases of tissue expression, disease, or function can still be used for an analysis.

HSSP (homology-derived structures of proteins) is a derived database merging structural (2-D and 3-D) and sequence information (1-D). For each protein of known 3D structure from the Protein Data Bank, the database has a file with all sequence homologues, properly aligned to the PDB protein. Homologues are very likely to have the same 3D structure as the PDB protein to which they have been aligned. As a result, the database is not only a database of sequence aligned sequence families, but it is also a database of implied secondary and tertiary structures. Likely secondary structure are carried over from the PDB protein to each homologous protein. Tertiary structure models can be built by fitting the sequence of the homologue as aligned into the 3D template of the protein of known structure. Special software is needed to construct 3D models by homology, such WHATIF by Gert Vriend or MaxSprout by Liisa Holm and Chris Sander. The command rsync can be used to obtain a local copy of the HSSP. We appreciate receiving an Email from people who do so, but there are no strings attached. Everybody can freely download the files, academia and industry alike. If your institute''s firewall doesn''t allow you to use the (preferred) rsync way of obtaining HSSP files, feel free to work with FTP. The files are in that case available from: ftp://ftp.cmbi.ru.nl//pub/molbio/data/hssp/

Sting Report is a database of amino acid sequences, structures, functions, and parameters. It allows users to easily extract from the Blue Star Sting Database detailed but focused information about an individual amino acid, which belongs to a structure described in a PDB file. The extracted information is presented as a series of GIF images and a table, which are generated by Blue Star Sting modules and contain values of up to 125 sequence/structure/function descriptors/parameters. The HTML page resulting from a query on Sting Report, containing the GIF images and the table, is printable, and can also be composed and visualized at a computer platform with elementary configuration.

Information system that provides a network of concurring genes and proteins extends through the scientific literature touching on phenotypes, pathologies and gene function. It provides this network as a natural way of accessing millions of PubMed abstracts. By using genes and proteins as hyperlinks between sentences and abstracts, the information in PubMed can be converted into one navigable resource, bringing all advantages of the internet to scientific literature research. Moreover, this literature network can be superimposed on experimental interaction data (e.g., yeast-two hybrid data from Drosophila melanogaster and Caenorhabditis elegans) to make possible a simultaneous analysis of new and existing knowledge. The network contains half a million sentences and 30,000 different genes from humans, mice, D. melanogaster, C. elegans, zebrafish, Arabidopsis thaliana, yeast and Escherichia coli.
