AltSplice is a computer generated high quality data set of human transcript-confirmed splice patterns, alternative splice events, and the associated annotations. This data is being integrated with other data that is generated by other members of the ASD consortium. The ASD project will provide the following in its three year duration: -human curated database of alternative spliced genes and their properties -a computer generated database of alternatively spliced genes and their properties -the integration of the above and newly found knowledge in a user-friendly interface and research workbench for both bioinformaticists and biologists -DNA chips that are based on the data in the above databases -the DNA chips will be used to test against predisposition for and diagnoses of human diseases ASD aims to analyse this mechanism on a genome-wide scale by creating a database that contains all alternatively spliced exons from human, and other model species. Disease causing mutations seem to induce aberrations in the process of splicing and its regulation. The ASD consortium will develop a DNA microarray (chip) that contains cDNAs of all the splicing regulatory proteins and their isoforms, as well as a chip that contains a number of disease relevant genes. We will concentrate on three models of disease (breast cancer, FTDP-17, male infertility) in which a connection between mis-splicing and a pathological state has been observed. Finally, these chips will be developed as demonstrative kits to detect predisposition for and diagnosis of such diseases.

Secondary Structure Matching (SSM) is an interactive service for comparing protein structures in 3D. SSM compares to other protein matching services, see results here. It is used as a structure search engine in PISA service (Protein Interfaces, Surfaces and Assemblies). It queries may be launched from any web site, see instructions here and it is based on the CCP4 Coordinate Library, found here. The service provides for: -pairwise comparison and 3D alignment of protein structures -multiple comparison and 3D alignment of protein structures -examination of a protein structure for similarity with the whole PDB or SCOP archives -best Ca-alignment of compared structures -download and visualization of best-superposed structures using Rasmol (Unix/Linux platforms), Rastop (MS Windows machines) and Jmol (platform-independent server-side java viewer) -linking the results to other services - PDBe Motif, OCA, SCOP, GeneCensus, FSSP, 3Dee, CATH, PDBSum, SWISS-PROT and ProtoMap. Sponsors: The project is funded by the Collaborative Computational Project Number 4 in Protein Crystallography of the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council

Database to explore known and predicted interactions of chemicals and proteins. It integrates information about interactions from metabolic pathways, crystal structures, binding experiments and drug-target relationships. Inferred information from phenotypic effects, text mining and chemical structure similarity is used to predict relations between chemicals. STITCH further allows exploring the network of chemical relations, also in the context of associated binding proteins. Each proposed interaction can be traced back to the original data sources. The database contains interaction information for over 68,000 different chemicals, including 2200 drugs, and connects them to 1.5 million genes across 373 genomes and their interactions contained in the STRING database.

Computational biology resource for investigating candidate functional sites in eukarytic proteins. Functional sites which fit to the description linear motif are currently specified as patterns using Regular Expression rules. To improve the predictive power, context-based rules and logical filters are being developed and applied to reduce the amount of false positives. The current version of the ELM server provides core functionality including filtering by cell compartment, phylogeny, globular domain clash (using the SMART/Pfam databases) and structure. In addition, both the known ELM instances and any positionally conserved matches in sequences similar to ELM instance sequences are identified and displayed (see ELM instance mapper). Although the ELM resource contains a large collection of functional site motifs, the current set of motifs is not exhaustive.

The main focus of this Computational Biology group is to predict function and to gain insights into evolution by comparative analysis of complex molecular data. The group currently works on three different scales: * genes and proteins, * protein networks and cellular processes, and * phenotypes and environments. They require both tool development and applications. Some selected projects include comparative gene, genome and metagenome analysis, mapping interactions to proteins and pathways as well as the study of temporal and spatial protein network aspects. All are geared towards the bridging of genotype and phenotype through a better understanding of molecular and cellular processes. The services - resources & tools, developed by Bork Group, are mainly designed and maintained for research & academic purposes. Most of services are published and documented in one or more papers. All our tools can be completely customized and integrated into your existing framework. This service is provided by the company biobyte solutions GmbH. Please visit their tools and services pages for full details and more information. Standard commercial licenses for our tools are also available through biobyte solutions GmbH. The group is partially associated with Max Delbr��ck Center for Molecular Medicine (MDC), Berlin.

Database of known and predicted protein interactions. The interactions include direct (physical) and indirect (functional) associations and are derived from four sources: Genomic Context, High-throughput experiments, (Conserved) Coexpression, and previous knowledge. STRING quantitatively integrates interaction data from these sources for a large number of organisms, and transfers information between these organisms where applicable. The database currently covers 5''214''234 proteins from 1133 organisms. (2013)

A computer algorithm that provides a fast and quantitative estimation of the importance of the interactions contributing to the stability of proteins and protein complexes. The predictive power of FOLDEF has been tested on a very large set of point mutants (1088 mutants) spanning most of the structural environments found in proteins . FoldX uses a full atomic description of the structure of the proteins. The different energy terms taken into account in FoldX have been weighted using empirical data obtained from protein engineering experiments.

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.

Database of known and predicted functional associations between protein posttranslational modifications (PTMs) within proteins. In its first release it contains 13 different PTM types. PTM types are abbreviated in a two letter code as: Ph (phosphorylation), NG (N-linked glycosylation), Ac (acetylation), OG (O-linked glycosylation), Ub (ubiquitination), Me (methylation), SM (SUMOylation), Hy (hydroxylation), Ca (carboxylation), Pa (palmitoylation), Su (sulfation), Ni (nitrosylation) and CG (C-linked glycosylation). These PTMs are present in 25,765 proteins of 8 different eukaryotes. The database is focused on the exploration of the global post-translational regulation of proteins, not only by describing the set of its modifications, but by identifying the functional associations among the PTMs present in the protein. To do that, they combine five different evidence channels based on a literature survey, the modified residue co-evolution, their structural proximity, their competition for the same residue and the location within PTM highly-enriched protein regions (hotspots) and show the functional associations within the context of the protein architecture.
