THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on March 17, 2022. A nucleotide sequence based approach for the unambiguous characterisation of isolates of bacteria and other organisms via the internet. The aim of MLST is to provide a portable, accurate, and highly discriminating typing system that can be used for most bacteria and some other organisms. It is envisaged that this approach will be particularly helpful for the typing of bacterial pathogens. To achieve this aim we have taken the proven concepts of multilocus enzyme electrophoresis (MLEE) and have adapted them so that alleles at each locus are defined directly, by nucleotide sequencing, rather than indirectly from the electrophoretic moblity of their gene products. MLST was developed in the laboratories of Martin Maiden, Dominique Caugant, Ian Feavers, Mark Achtman and Brian Spratt. This site is hosted at Imperial College with funding from the Wellcome Trust. The location of the subsites for the individual species are shown on their respective front pages.

PANDIT is a collection of multiple sequence alignments and phylogenetic trees covering many common protein domains. It contains: * the seed protein sequence alignments from the Pfam-A (curated families) database (version 17.0) * nucleotide sequence alignments derived from sequences available for the above and using the protein alignments as "templates"; * protein sequence alignments restricted to the family members for which nucleotide sequences are available * inferred phylogenetic trees for each alignment The data in PANDIT and the dataset's development have been frozen owing to a lack of funding support. The existing data, version 17.0 corresponding to Pfam 17.0, remain stable and, we hope, useful. The entire database is also available for download as a flatfile from this website.

SUPFAM is a database that consists of clusters of potentially related homologous protein domain families, with and without three-dimensional structural information, forming superfamilies. The present release (Release 3.0) of SUPFAM uses homologous families in Pfam (Version 23.0) and SCOP (Release 1.69) which are examples of sequence -alignment and structure classification databases respectively. The two steps involved in setting up of SUPFAM database are * Relating Pfam and SCOP families using a new profile-profile alignment algorithm AlignHUSH. This results in identifying many Pfam families which could be related to a family or superfamily of known structural information. * An all-against-all match among Pfam families with yet unknown structure resulting in identification of related Pfam families forming new potential superfamilies. The SUPFAM database can be used in either the Browse mode or Search mode. In Browse mode you can browse through the Superfamilies, Pfam families or SCOP families. In each of these modes you will be presented with a full list which can be easily browsed. In Search mode, you can search for Pfam families, SCOP families or Superfamilies based on keywords or SCOP/Pfam identifiers of families and superfamilies., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE.

Interactive database which incorporates a suite of tools designed to aid the interpretation of submicroscopic chromosomal imbalance. Used to enhance clinical diagnosis by retrieving information from bioinformatics resources relevant to the imbalance found in the patient. Contributing to the DECIPHER database is a Consortium, comprising an international community of academic departments of clinical genetics. Each center maintains control of its own patient data (which are password protected within the center''''s own DECIPHER project) until patient consent is given to allow anonymous genomic and phenotypic data to become freely viewable within Ensembl and other genome browsers. Once data are shared, consortium members are able to gain access to the patient report and contact each other to discuss patients of mutual interest, thus facilitating the delineation of new microdeletion and microduplication syndromes.

A large database of CATH protein domain assignments for ENSEMBL genomes and Uniprot sequences. Gene3D is a resource of form studying proteins and the component domains. Gene3D takes CATH domains from Protein Databank (PDB) structures and assigns them to the millions of protein sequences with no PDB structures using Hidden Markov models. Assigning a CATH superfamily to a region of a protein sequence gives information on the gross 3D structure of that region of the protein. CATH superfamilies have a limited set of functions and so the domain assignment provides some functional insights. Furthermore most proteins have several different domains in a specific order, so looking for proteins with a similar domain organization provides further functional insights. Strict confidence cut-offs are used to ensure the reliability of the domain assignments. Gene3D imports functional information from sources such as UNIPROT, and KEGG. They also import experimental datasets on request to help researchers integrate there data with the corpus of the literature. The website allows users to view descriptions for both single proteins and genes and large protein sets, such as superfamilies or genomes. Subsets can then be selected for detailed investigation or associated functions and interactions can be used to expand explorations to new proteins. The Gene3D web services provide programmatic access to the CATH-Gene3D annotation resources and in-house software tools. These services include Gene3DScan for identifying structural domains within protein sequences, access to pre-calculated annotations for the major sequence databases, and linked functional annotation from UniProt, GO and KEGG., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE.

The CellML language is an open standard based on the XML markup language. The purpose of CellML is to store and exchange computer-based mathematical models. CellML allows scientists to share models even if they are using different model-building software. It also enables them to reuse components from one model in another, thus accelerating model building. Although CellML was originally intended for the description of biological models; CellML includes information about model structure (how the parts of a model are organizationally related to one another), mathematics (equations describing the underlying processes) and metadata (additional information about the model that allows scientists to search for specific models or model components in a database or other repository). The CellML team is committed to providing freely available tools for creating, editing, and using CellML models. We provide information regarding tools we are developing internally and links to external projects developing tools which utilize the CellML format. Please let us know if you have an open source CellML tool looking for a home on the internet, as we are able to offer limited hosting services on cellml.org.
