http://www-is.biotoul.fr

Database of a list of insertion sequences isolated from eubacteria and archaea. It is organized into individual files containing their general features (name, size, origin, family.....) as well as their DNA and potential protein sequences. Although most of the entries have been identified as individual elements, a growing number are included from their description in sequenced bacterial genomes. The search engine permits the retrieval and display of individual and groups of ISs based on a combination of their general features. Two levels of search are available. The simple search option enables the user to sort elements using a limited number of basic items whereas the extensive search offers an additional set of possibilities such as comparisons of the sequences of terminal inverted repeats and a variety of different layout displays. Built in links are provided to: the EMBL sequence database, the NCBI taxonomy database and to the ESF plasmid database. At present, only individual sequences can be downloaded one by one for comparison. An on-line BLAST facility is available and in future versions direct access to additional analytical tools will be provided on line. Direct submission of ISs is encouraged using the on-line form provided.

http://genome.jgi.doe.gov/

Portal providing access to all JGI genomic databases and analytical tools, sequencing projects and their status, search for and download assemblies and annotations of sequenced genomes, and interactively explore those genomes and compare them with other sequenced microbes, fungi, plants or metagenomes using specialized systems tailored to each particular class of organisms. The Department of Energy (DOE) Joint Genome Institute (JGI) is a national user facility with massive-scale DNA sequencing and analysis capabilities dedicated to advancing genomics for bioenergy and environmental applications. Beyond generating tens of trillions of DNA bases annually, the Institute develops and maintains data management systems and specialized analytical capabilities to manage and interpret complex genomic data sets, and to enable an expanding community of users around the world to analyze these data in different contexts over the web.

http://genomics1.mh-hannover.de/genometa/index.php?Site=Home

A Java based bioinformatics program which allows rapid analysis of metagenomic short read datasets. Millions of short reads can be accurately analysed within minutes and visualised in the browser component. A large database of diverse bacteria and archaea has been constructed as a reference sequence. The approach is based upon the established open source visualisation tool IGB and supported by the rapid alignment program bowtie. The Picard toolset for SAM files is also made use of.

http://www.cazy.org

Database that describes the families of structurally-related catalytic and carbohydrate-binding modules (or functional domains) of enzymes that degrade, modify, or create glycosidic bonds. This specialist database is dedicated to the display and analysis of genomic, structural and biochemical information on Carbohydrate-Active Enzymes (CAZymes). CAZy data are accessible either by browsing sequence-based families or by browsing the content of genomes in carbohydrate-active enzymes. New genomes are added regularly shortly after they appear in the daily releases of GenBank. New families are created based on published evidence for the activity of at least one member of the family and all families are regularly updated, both in content and in description. An original aspect of the CAZy database is its attempt to cover all carbohydrate-active enzymes across organisms and across subfields of glycosciences. One can search for CAZY Family pages using the Protein Accession (Genpept Accession, Uniprot Accession or PDB ID), Cazy family name or EC number. In addition, genomes can be searched using the NCBI TaxID. This search can be complemented by Google-based searches on the CAZy site.

http://bioinformatics.biol.uoa.gr/PRED-SIGNAL/

A web tool for prediction of signal peptides in archaea. Computational prediction of signal peptides (SPs) and their cleavage sites is of great importance in computational biology; however, currently there is no available method capable of predicting reliably the SPs of archaea, due to the limited amount of experimentally verified proteins with SPs. We performed an extensive literature search in order to identify archaeal proteins having experimentally verified SP and managed to find 69 such proteins, the largest number ever reported. A detailed analysis of these sequences revealed some unique features of the SPs of archaea, such as the unique amino acid composition of the hydrophobic region with a higher than expected occurrence of isoleucine, and a cleavage site resembling more the sequences of gram-positives with almost equal amounts of alanine and valine at the position-3 before the cleavage site and a dominant alanine at position-1, followed in abundance by serine and glycine. Using these proteins as a training set, we trained a hidden Markov model method that predicts the presence of the SPs and their cleavage sites and also discriminates such proteins from cytoplasmic and transmembrane ones.

http://pallab.serc.iisc.ernet.in/gester/

Database of intrinsic terminators of transcription that is comprized of >2,200,000 bacterial terminators identified from a total of 2036 chromosomes and 1508 plasmids. Information about structural parameters of individual terminators such as sequence, length of stem and loop, mismatches and gaps, U-trail, genomic coordinates and gene name and accession number is available in both tabular form and as a composite figure. Summary statistics for terminator profiles of whole genome can be also obtained. Raw data files for individual genomes can be downloaded (.zip files) for detailed investigations. Data is organized into different tiers such that users can fine-tune their search by entering name of the species, or taxon ID or genomes with a certain number of terminators. To visualize the occurrence of the terminators, an interactive map, with the resolution to single gene level, has been developed.
