Curated, open-source, integrated data resource for comparative functional genomics in crops and model plant species to facilitate the study of cross-species comparisons using information generated from projects supported by public funds. It currently hosts annotated whole genomes in over two dozen plant species and partial assemblies for almost a dozen wild rice species in the Ensembl browser, genetic and physical maps with genes, ESTs and QTLs locations, genetic diversity data sets, structure-function analysis of proteins, plant pathways databases (BioCyc and Plant Reactome platforms), and descriptions of phenotypic traits and mutations. The web-based displays for phenotypes include the Genes and Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) modules. Sequence based relationships are displayed in the Genomes module using the genome browser adapted from Ensembl, in the Maps module using the comparative map viewer (CMap) from GMOD, and in the Proteins module displays. BLAST is used to search for similar sequences. Literature supporting all the above data is organized in the Literature database. In addition, Gramene now hosts a variety of web services including a Distributed Annotation Server (DAS), BLAST and a public MySQL database. Twice a year, Gramene releases a major build of the database and makes interim releases to correct errors or to make important updates to software and/or data. Additionally you can access Gramene through an FTP site.

Community model organism database for laboratory mouse and authoritative source for phenotype and functional annotations of mouse genes. MGD includes complete catalog of mouse genes and genome features with integrated access to genetic, genomic and phenotypic information, all serving to further the use of the mouse as a model system for studying human biology and disease. MGD is a major component of the Mouse Genome Informatics.Contains standardized descriptions of mouse phenotypes, associations between mouse models and human genetic diseases, extensive integration of DNA and protein sequence data, normalized representation of genome and genome variant information. Data are obtained and integrated via manual curation of the biomedical literature, direct contributions from individual investigators and downloads from major informatics resource centers. MGD collaborates with the bioinformatics community on the development and use of biomedical ontologies such as the Gene Ontology (GO) and the Mammalian Phenotype (MP) Ontology.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented August 22, 2016. A database of candidate genes for mapped inherited human diseases. Candidate priorities are automatically established by a data mining algorithm that extracts putative genes in the chromosomal region where the disease is mapped, and evaluates their possible relation to the disease based on the phenotype of the disorder. Data analysis uses a scoring system developed for the possible functional relations of human genes to genetically inherited diseases that have been mapped onto chromosomal regions without assignment of a particular gene. Methodology can be divided in two parts: the association of genes to phenotypic features, and the identification of candidate genes on a chromosonal region by homology. This is an analysis of relations between phenotypic features and chemical objects, and from chemical objects to protein function terms, based on the whole MEDLINE and RefSeq databases.

A software package to analyze next-generation resequencing data. The toolkit offers a wide variety of tools, with a primary focus on variant discovery and genotyping as well as strong emphasis on data quality assurance. Its robust architecture, powerful processing engine and high-performance computing features make it capable of taking on projects of any size. This software library makes writing efficient analysis tools using next-generation sequencing data very easy, and second it's a suite of tools for working with human medical resequencing projects such as 1000 Genomes and The Cancer Genome Atlas. These tools include things like a depth of coverage analyzers, a quality score recalibrator, a SNP/indel caller and a local realigner. (entry from Genetic Analysis Software)

General database of genetic variations maintained by the NCBI. Database as central repository for both single base nucleotide substitutions and short deletion and insertion polymorphisms. Distinguishes report of how to assay SNP from use of that SNP with individuals and populations. This separation simplifies some issues of data representation. However, these initial reports describing how to assay SNP will often be accompanied by SNP experiments measuring allele occurrence in individuals and populations. Community can contribute to this resource.

A probabilistic search tool for identifying damaged genes and their disease-causing variants in personal genome sequences. VAAST combines elements of phylogenetic conservation, amino acid substitution, and aggregative approaches to variant prioritization into a single unified likelihood-framework that allows users to accurately identify damaged genes and deleterious variants. The software can score both coding (SNV, indel and splice site) and non-coding variants (SNV), evaluating the cumulative impact of both types of variants simultaneously. It can identify rare variants causing rare genetic diseases and can also use both rare and common variants to identify genes responsible for common diseases.

Software application that allows large-scale analysis of haplotype structure in genomes for the primary purpose of detecting evidence of natural selection. Primarily, it uses the Long Range Haplotype test to look for alleles of high frequency with long-range linkage disequilibrium, which suggest the haplotype rapidly rose to high frequency before recombination could break down associations with nearby markers. SWEEP takes phased genotype data as input, detects all haplotype blocks in that data, and then determines the frequency and long-range LD for each allele in each block.
