PIAGE Resource Report Resource Website |
PIAGE (RRID:SCR_013124) | software application, software resource | THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on May 24,2023. Software program that performs estimation of power and sample sizes required to detect genetic and environmental main, as well as gene-environment interaction (GxE) effects in indirect matched case-control studies (1:1 matching). When the hypothesis of GxE is tested, power/sample size will be estimated for the detection of GxE, as well as for the detection of genetic and environmental marginal effects. Furthermore, power estimation is implemented for the joint test of genetic marginal and GxE effects (Kraft P et al., 2007). Power and sample size estimations are based on Gauderman''s (2002) asymptotic approach for power and sample size estimations in direct studies of GxE. Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and independence of genotypes and environmental exposures in the population are assumed. The estimates are based on genotypic codes (G=1 (G=0) for individuals who carry a (non-) risk genotype), which depend on the mode of inheritance (dominant, recessive, or multiplicative). A conditional logistic regression approach is used, which employs a likelihood-ratio test with respect to a biallelic candidate SNP, a binary environmental factor (E=1 (E=0) in (un)exposed individuals), and the interaction between these components.

Distributed Annotation System Resource Report Resource Website 10+ mentions |
Distributed Annotation System (RRID:SCR_008427) | data or information resource, narrative resource, software resource, standard specification | The Distributed Annotation System (DAS) defines a communication protocol used to exchange annotations on genomic or protein sequences. It is motivated by the idea that such annotations should not be provided by single centralized databases, but should instead be spread over multiple sites. Data distribution, performed by DAS servers, is separated from visualization, which is done by DAS clients. The advantages of this system are that control over the data is retained by data providers, data is freed from the constraints of specific organisations and the normal issues of release cycles, API updates and data duplication are avoided. DAS is a client-server system in which a single client integrates information from multiple servers. It allows a single machine to gather up sequence annotation information from multiple distant web sites, collate the information, and display it to the user in a single view. Little coordination is needed among the various information providers. DAS is heavily used in the genome bioinformatics community. Over the last years we have also seen growing acceptance in the protein sequence and structure communities. A DAS-enabled website or application can aggregate complex and high-volume data from external providers in an efficient manner. For the biologist, this means the ability to plug in the latest data, possibly including a user''s own data. For the application developer, this means protection from data format changes and the ability to add new data with minimal development cost. Here are some examples of DAS-enabled applications or websites for end users: :- Dalliance Experimental Web/Javascript based Genome Viewer :- IGV Integrative Genome Viewer java based browser for many genomes :- Ensembl uses DAS to pull in genomic, gene and protein annotations. It also provides data via DAS. :- Gbrowse is a generic genome browser, and is both a consumer and provider of DAS. :- IGB is a desktop application for viewing genomic data. :- SPICE is an application for projecting protein annotations onto 3D structures. :- Dasty2 is a web-based viewer for protein annotations :- Jalview is a multiple alignment editor. :- PeppeR is a graphical viewer for 3D electron microscopy data. :- DASMI is an integration portal for protein interaction data. :- DASher is a Java-based viewer for protein annotations. :- EpiC presents structure-function summaries for antibody design. :- STRAP is a STRucture-based sequence Alignment Program. Hundreds of DAS servers are currently running worldwide, including those provided by the European Bioinformatics Institute, Ensembl, the Sanger Institute, UCSC, WormBase, FlyBase, TIGR, and UniProt. For a listing of all available DAS sources please visit the DasRegistry. Sponsors: The initial ideas for DAS were developed in conversations with LaDeana Hillier of the Washington University Genome Sequencing Center. | annotation, database, software, genomic, protein, sequence, visualization, data, client-server, integration, bioinformatics, genome, structure, data integration |
