Web-based tools for working with functional genomics and other data, including Gene Expression and Protein Tools, Molecular Markers and Mapping Tools, and Other Genomic Tools. Most are designed with the plant (mainly Arabidopsis) researcher in mind, but a couple of them can be useful to the wider research community, e.g. Mouse eFP Browser or BlastDigester. The associated paper for most tools is available.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented August 22, 2016. A multi-country collaboration among scientists and funding agencies to develop a public resource where genetic similarities and differences in human beings are identified and catalogued. Using this information, researchers will be able to find genes that affect health, disease, and individual responses to medications and environmental factors. All of the information generated by the Project will be released into the public domain. Their goal is to compare the genetic sequences of different individuals to identify chromosomal regions where genetic variants are shared. Public and private organizations in six countries are participating in the International HapMap Project. Data generated by the Project can be downloaded with minimal constraints. HapMap project related data, software, and documentation include: bulk data on genotypes, frequencies, LD data, phasing data, allocated SNPs, recombination rates and hotspots, SNP assays, Perlegen amplicons, raw data, inferred genotypes, and mitochondrial and chrY haplogroups; Generic Genome Browser software; protocols and information on assay design, genotyping and other protocols used in the project; and documentation of samples/individuals and the XML format used in the project.

A software package for visualizing and analyzing protein-protein interaction networks. NAViGaTOR can query OPHID / I2D - online databases of interaction data - and display networks in 2D or 3D. To improve scalability and performance, NAViGaTOR combines Java with OpenGL to provide a 2D/3D visualization system on multiple hardware platforms. NAViGaTOR also provides analytical capabilities and supports standard import and export formats such as GO and the Proteomics Standards Initiative (PSI). NAViGaTOR can be installed and run on Microsoft Windows, Linux / UNIX, and Mac OS systems. NAViGaTOR is written in Java and uses JOGL (Java bindings for OpenGL) to support scalability, highlighting or suppressing of information, and other advanced graphic approaches.

Database that combines detailed toxin data with comprehensive toxin target information. The database currently houses 3,053 toxins described by 32,276 synonyms, including pollutants, pesticides, drugs, and food toxins, which are linked to 1,670 corresponding toxin target records. Altogether there are 37,084 toxin, toxin target associations. (March 2014) Each toxin record (ToxCard) contains over 50 data fields and holds information such as chemical properties and descriptors, toxicity values, molecular and cellular interactions, and medical information. This information has been extracted from over 5,454 sources sources, which include other databases, government documents, books, and scientific literature. The focus of the T3DB is on providing mechanisms of toxicity and target proteins for each toxin. This dual nature of the T3DB, in which toxin and toxin target records are interactively linked in both directions, makes it unique from existing databases. It is also fully searchable and supports extensive text, sequence, chemical structure, and relational query searches

Database for conserved sequence motifs identified by genome scale motif discovery, similarity, clustering, co-occurrence and coexpression calculations. Sequence inputs include low-coverage genome sequence data and ENCODE data. The database offers information on atomic motifs, motif groups and patterns. In promoter-based cisRED databases, sequence search regions for motif discovery extend from 1.5 Kb upstream to 200b downstream of a transcription start site, net of most types of repeats and of coding exons. Many transcription factor binding sites are located in such regions. For each target gene's search region, a base set of probabilistic ab initio discovery tools is used, in parallel, to find over-represented atomic motifs. Discovery methods use comparative genomics with over 40 vertebrate input genomes. In ChIP-seq-based cisRED databases, sequence search regions for motif discovery correspond to significant peaks that represent genome-wide sites of protein-DNA binding. Because such peaks occur in a wide range of genic and intergenic locations, ChIP-seq and promoter-based databases are complementary. Currently, motif discovery for ChIP-seq data uses scan-based approaches that make more explicit use of sets of sequences known to be functional transcription factor binding sites, and that consider a wide range of levels of conservation. For the human STAT1 ChIP-seq database search regions in the target species (human) was selected +/- 300 bp around the ChIP-seq peak maximum. Repeats and coding regions were masked. Multiple sequence alignment were used to assemble orthologous input sequences from other species.

http://www.smpdb.ca/

An interactive, visual database containing more than 350 small molecule pathways found in humans. More than 2/3 of these pathways (>280) are not found in any other pathway database. SMPDB is designed specifically to support pathway elucidation and pathway discovery in metabolomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and systems biology. It is able to do so, in part, by providing exquisitely detailed, fully searchable, hyperlinked diagrams of human metabolic pathways, metabolic disease pathways, metabolite signaling pathways and drug-action pathways. All SMPDB pathways include information on the relevant organs, subcellular compartments, protein cofactors, protein locations, metabolite locations, chemical structures and protein quaternary structures. Each small molecule is hyperlinked to detailed descriptions contained in the HMDB or DrugBank and each protein or enzyme complex is hyperlinked to UniProt. All SMPDB pathways are accompanied with detailed descriptions and references, providing an overview of the pathway, condition or processes depicted in each diagram. The database is easily browsed and supports full text, sequence and chemical structure searching. Users may query SMPDB with lists of metabolite names, drug names, genes / protein names, SwissProt IDs, GenBank IDs, Affymetrix IDs or Agilent microarray IDs. These queries will produce lists of matching pathways and highlight the matching molecules on each of the pathway diagrams. Gene, metabolite and protein concentration data can also be visualized through SMPDB''s mapping interface. All of SMPDB''s images, image maps, descriptions and tables are downloadable.

Software providing de novo, parallel, paired-end sequence assembler that is designed for short reads. ABySS 1.0 originally showed that assembling human genome using short 50 bp sequencing reads was possible by aggregating half terabyte of compute memory needed over several computers using standardized message passing system. ABySS 2.0 is Resource Efficient Assembly of Large Genomes using Bloom Filter. ABySS 2.0 departs from MPI and instead implements algorithms that employ Bloom filter, probabilistic data structure, to represent de Bruijn graph and reduce memory requirements.
