http://bioportal.bioontology.org/

Open repository of biomedical ontologies that provides access via Web browsers and Web services to ontologies. It supports ontologies in OBO format, OWL, RDF, Rich Release Format (RRF), Protege frames, and LexGrid XML. Functionality includes the ability to browse, search and visualize ontologies as well as to comment on, and create mappings for ontologies. Any registered user can submit an ontology. The NCBO Annotator and NCBO Resource Index can also be accessed via BioPortal. Additional features: * Add Reviews: rate the ontology according to several criteria and describe your experience using the ontology. * Add Mappings: submit point-to-point mappings or upload bulk mappings created with external tools. Notification of new Mappings is RSS-enabled and Mappings can be browsed via BioPortal and accessed via Web services. * NCBO Annotator: Tool that tags free text with ontology terms. NCBO uses the Annotator to generate ontology annotations, creating an ontology index of these resources accessible via the NCBO Resource Index. The Annotator can be accessed through BioPortal or directly as a Web service. The annotation workflow is based on syntactic concept recognition (using the preferred name and synonyms for terms) and on a set of semantic expansion algorithms that leverage the ontology structure (e.g., is_a relations). * NCBO Resource Index: The NCBO Resource Index is a system for ontology based annotation and indexing of biomedical data; the key functionality of this system is to enable users to locate biomedical data linked via ontology terms. A set of annotations is generated automatically, using the NCBO Annotator, and presented in BioPortal. This service uses a concept recognizer (developed by the National Center for Integrative Biomedical Informatics, University of Michigan) to produce a set of annotations and expand them using ontology is_a relations. * Web services: Documentation on all Web services and example code is available at: BioPortal Web services.

Repository of information about model organisms, in vitro models, genes, pathways, gene expression, protein and genetic interactions, orthology, disease, phenotypes, publications, and authors, and the the ability to navigate multi-scale spatial and temporal phenotypes across in vivo and in vitro model systems in the context of genetic and genomic data, using semantics and statistics. The discovery system provides basic and clinical science researchers, informaticists, and medical professionals with an integrated interface and set of discovery tools to reveal the genetic basis of disease, facilitate hypothesis generation, and identify novel candidate drug targets. The aim for this system is to promote true translational research, in that clinicians can connect with model systems researchers with expertise in related phenotypes, assays, or models. In addition to providing easy-to-use tools to navigate the model-disease data landscape, it also provides services for other resources, and educational outreach regarding the production of structured data for biomedical discovery. Model systems are the cornerstone of biomedical research to investigate biological processes, test gene-based disease hypotheses, and develop and test disease treatments. The vast knowledge about model systems can be better utilized if semantically aggregated and made queryable based on any number of facets, such as phenotypic similarity, network analysis, gene expression and function, and genomics.

http://phenom.ccbr.utoronto.ca/index.jsp

Database of morphological phenotypes caused by mutation of essential genes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, it allows storing, retrieving, visualizing and data mining the quantitative single-cell measurements extracted from micrographs of the temperature-sensitive (ts) mutant cells. PhenoM allows users to rapidly search and retrieve raw images and their quantified morphological data for genes of interest. The database also provides several data-mining tools, including a PhenoBlast module for phenotypic comparison between mutant strains and a Gene Ontology module for functional enrichment analysis of gene sets showing similar morphological alterations. About one-fifth of the genes in the budding yeast are essential for haploid viability and cannot be functionally assessed using standard genetic approaches such as gene deletion. To facilitate genetic analysis of essential genes, we and others have assembled collections of yeast strains expressing temperature-sensitive (ts) alleles of essential genes. To explore the phenotypes caused by essential gene mutation we used a panel of genetically engineered fluorescent markers to explore the morphology of cells in the ts strain collection using high-throughput microscopy. The database contains quantitative measurements of 1,909,914 cells and 78,194 morphological images for 775 temperature-sensitive mutants spanning 491 different essential genes in permissive temperature (26* C) and restrictive temperature (32* C). The morphological images were generated by high-content screening (HCS) technology.

http://www.funnet.info/

Functional Analysis of Transcriptional Networks (FunNet) is designed as an integrative tool for analyzing gene co-expression networks built from microarray expression data. The analytical model implemented in this tool involves two abstraction layers: transcriptional (i.e. gene expression profiles) and functional (i.e. biological themes indicating the roles of the analyzed transcripts). A functional analysis technique, which relies on Gene Ontology and KEGG annotations, is applied to extract a list of relevant biological themes from microarray gene expression data. Afterwards multiple-instance representations are built to relate relevant biological themes to their annotated transcripts. An original non-linear dynamical model is used to quantify the contextual proximity of relevant genomic themes based on their patterns of propagation in the gene co-expression network (i.e. capturing the similarity of the expression profiles of the transcriptional instances of annotating themes). In the end an unsupervised multiple-instance spectral clustering procedure is used to explore the modular architecture of the co-expression network by grouping together biological themes demonstrating a significant relationship in the co-expression network. Functional and transcriptional representations of the co-expression network are provided, together with detailed information on the contextual centrality of related transcripts and genomic themes. FunNet is provided both as a web-based tool and as a standalone R package. The standalone R implementation can be run on any operating system for which an R environment implementation is available (Windows, Mac OS, various flavors of Linux and Unix) and can be downloaded from the FunNet website, or from the worldwide mirrors of CRAN. Both implementations of the FunNet tool are provided freely under the GNU General Public License 2.0. Platform: Online tool, Windows compatible, Mac OS X compatible, Linux compatible, Unix compatible

Database of organelle proteins, and subcellular structures / complexes from compiled protein localization data from organisms spanning the eukaryotic kingdom. All data may be downloaded as a tab-delimited text file and new localization data (and localization images, etc) for any organism relevant to the data sets currently contained in Organelle DB is welcomed. The data sets in Organelle DB encompass 138 organisms with emphasis on the major model systems: S. cerevisiae, A. thaliana, D. melanogaster, C. elegans, M. musculus, and human proteins as well. In particular, Organelle DB is a central repository of yeast protein localization data, incorporating results from both previous and current (ongoing) large-scale studies of protein localization in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In addition, we have manually curated several recent subcellular proteomic studies for incorporation in Organelle DB. In total, Organelle DB is a singular resource consolidating our knowledge of the protein composition of eukaryotic organelles and subcellular structures. When available, we have included terms from the Gene Ontologies: the cellular component, molecular function, and biological process fields are discussed more fully in GO. Additionally, when available, we have included fluorescent micrographs (principally of yeast cells) visualizing the described protein localization. Organelle View is a visualization tool for yeast protein localization. It is a visually engaging way for high school and undergraduate students to learn about genetics or for visually-inclined researchers to explore Organelle DB. By revealing the data through a colorful, dimensional model, we believe that different kinds of information will come to light.
