An open web-accessible resource for gene functional annotations in the plant sciences to facilitate improvement, consolidation and visualization of gene annotations across several plant species. It is based on the MapMan ontology, organized in the form of a hierarchical tree of biological concepts, which describe gene functions. Currently, genes of the model species Arabidopsis, potato, tomato, rice, and tobacco are included. The main features are (i) dynamic and interactive gene product annotation through various curation options; (ii) consolidation of gene annotations for different plant species through the integration of orthologue group information; (iii) traceability of gene ontology changes and annotations; (iv) integration of external knowledge about genes from different public resources; and (v) providing gathered information to high-throughput analysis tools via dynamically generated export files. All of the GoMapMan functionalities are openly available, with the restriction on the curation functions, which require prior registration to ensure traceability of the implemented changes.

Software tool to help study pre-mRNA splicing and to better understand intronic and exonic mutations leading to splicing defects. To calculate the consensus values of potential splice sites and search for branch points, new algorithms were developed. Furthermore, they have integrated all available matrices to identify exonic and intronic motifs, as well as new matrices to identify hnRNP A1, Tra2-? and 9G8.

Database of apo and holo structure pairs of proteins before and after binding. Various protein functions have been shown directly associated with conformational transitions triggered by binding other molecules. Tertiary structures determined in the unbound and bound state are usually named apo and holo structures, respectively. AH-DB is the largest database of apo-holo structure pairs and provides a sophisticated interface to search and view the collected data. It contains 746314 apo-holo pairs of 3638 proteins from 702 organisms.

Database of biological data related to a single initiative, originating from a single organization or from a consortium. A BioProject record provides users a single place to find links to the diverse data types generated for that project. It is a searchable collection of complete and incomplete (in-progress) large-scale sequencing, assembly, annotation, and mapping projects for cellular organisms. Submissions are supported by a web-based Submission Portal. The database facilitates organization and classification of project data submitted to NCBI, EBI and DDBJ databases that captures descriptive information about research projects that result in high volume submissions to archival databases, ties together related data across multiple archives and serves as a central portal by which to inform users of data availability. BioProject records link to corresponding data stored in archival repositories. The BioProject resource is a redesigned, expanded, replacement of the NCBI Genome Project resource. The redesign adds tracking of several data elements including more precise information about a project''''s scope, material, and objectives. Genome Project identifiers are retained in the BioProject as the ID value for a record, and an Accession number has been added. Database content is exchanged with other members of the International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration (INSDC). BioProject is accessible via FTP.

A database containing genome-wide brain DNA methylation profiles for human and mouse brains. The DNA methylation profiles were generated by Methylation Mapping Analysis by Paired-end Sequencing (Methyl-MAPS) method and analyzed by Methyl-Analyzer software package. The methylation profiles cover over 80% CpG dinucleotides in human and mouse brains in single-CpG resolution. The integrated genome browser (modified from UCSC Genome Browser allows users to browse DNA methylation profiles in specific genomic loci, to search specific methylation patterns, and to compare methylation patterns between individual samples. Two species were included in the Brain Methylome Database: human and mouse. Human postmortem brain samples were obtained from three distinct cortical regions, i.e., dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC), ventral prefrontal cortex (vPFC), and auditory cortex (AC). Human samples were selected from our postmortem brain collection with extensive neuropathological and psychopathological data, as well as brain toxicology reports. The Department of Psychiatry of Columbia University and the New York State Psychiatric Institute have assembled this brain collection, where a validated psychological autopsy method is used to generate Axis I and II DSM IV diagnoses and data are obtained on developmental history, history of psychiatric illness and treatment, and family history for each subject. The mouse sample (strain 129S6/SvEv) DNA was collected from the entire left cerebral hemisphere. The three human brain regions were selected because they have been implicated in the neuropathology of depression and schizophrenia. Within each cortical region, both disease and non-psychiatric samples have been profiled (matching subjects by age and sex in each group). Such careful matching of subjects allows one to perform a wide range of queries with the ability to characterize methylation features in non-psychiatric controls, as well as detect differentially methylated domains or features between disease and non-psychiatric samples. A total of 14 non-psychiatric, 9 schizophrenic, and 6 depression methylation profiles are included in the database.

http://swift.cmbi.ru.nl/gv/pdbfinder/
It is a very information rich protein structure database. Unfortunately, the PDB people are not very good at making their data available for search engines. There are several reasons why search engines often fail on the PDB: * The PDB has zillions of small administrative errors * The PDB-format is search-engine unfriendly * Many PDB files are incomplete The PDBFINDER project is a possible solution to these problems. The PDBFINDER holds for each PDB file a structured, search-engine-friendly-formatted entry that holds the data-items most likely needed for people search for certain types of PDB entries. The PDBFINDER is not useful to search in atomic coordinates; it is meant to ad searches in the administrative records of PDB files. Originally, the PDBFINDER was just for searching in PDB files. However, as all the time more people are using the PDBFINDER to aid modelling and database projects, they decided to also produce the so-called PDBFINDER2. The PDBFINDER2 also holds a lot of quality information about the PDB entries. Please only use the PDBFINDER2 if you really need that quality determination aspect because the PDBFINDER2 is five times bigger than the original PDBFINDER.

Bhairpred server is based on machine learning technique SVM using single sequence information, evolutionary profile, predicted and observed secondary structure (as obtained using Psipred and DSSP), predicted and observed accessibility values (as obtainned from Netasa and DSSP). The methods were trained and tested on dataset of 2880 proteins and their performance was evaluated on dataset of 534 proteins used by Thornton (PNAS, 2002). Best prediction results were obtained with hybrid approach that combined prediction results from evolutionary profile, predicted secondary structure and accessibility.

hiPathDB is an integrated pathway database that combines the curated human pathway data of NCI-Nature PID, Reactome, BioCarta and KEGG. In total, it includes 1661 pathways consisting of 8976 distinct physical entities. (2010.03.09) hiPathDB provides two different types of integration. The pathway-level integration, conceptually a simple collection of individual pathways, was achieved by devising an elaborate model that takes distinct features of four databases into account and subsequently reformatting all pathways in accordance with our model. The entity-level integration creates a single unified pathway that encompasses all pathways by merging common components. Even though the detailed molecular-level information such as complex formation or post-translational modifications tends to be lost, such integration makes it possible to investigate signaling network over the entire pathways and allows identification of pathway cross-talks. Another strong merit of hiPathDB is the built-in pathway visualization module that supports explorative studies of complex networks in an interactive fashion. The layout algorithm is optimized for virtually automatic visualization of the pathways.
