Service that partners with the community to expose and simultaneously drill down into individual databases and data sets and return relevant content. This type of content, part of the so called hidden Web, is typically not indexed by existing web search engines. Every record links back to the originating site. In order for NIF to directly query these independently maintained databases and datasets, database providers must register their database or dataset with the NIF Data Federation and specify permissions. Databases are concept mapped for ease of sharing and to allow better understanding of the results. Learn more about registering your resource, http://neuinfo.org/nif_components/disco/interoperation.shtm Search results are displayed under the Data Federation tab and are categorized by data type and nervous system level. In this way, users can easily step through the content of multiple resources, all from the same interface. Each federated resource individually displays their query results with links back to the relevant datasets within the host resource. This allows users to take advantage of additional views on the data and tools that are available through the host database. The NIF site provides tutorials for each resource, indicated by the Professor Icon professor icon showing users how to navigate the results page once directed there through the NIF. Additionally, query results may be exported as an Excel document. Note: NIF is not responsible for the availability or content of these external sites, nor does NIF endorse, warrant or guarantee the products, services or information described or offered at these external sites.

A virtual database of annotations made by 50 database providers (April 2014) - and growing (see below), that map data to publication information. All NIF Data Federation sources can be part of this virtual database as long as they indicate the publications that correspond to data records. The format that NIF accepts is the PubMed Identifier, category or type of data that is being linked to, and a data record identifier. A subset of this data is passed to NCBI, as LinkOuts (links at the bottom of PubMed abstracts), however due to NCBI policies the full data records are not currently associated with PubMed records. Database providers can use this mechanism to link to other NCBI databases including gene and protein, however these are not included in the current data set at this time. (To view databases available for linking see, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK3807/#files.Databases_Available_for_Linking ) The categories that NIF uses have been standardized to the following types: * Resource: Registry * Resource: Software * Reagent: Plasmid * Reagent: Antibodies * Data: Clinical Trials * Data: Gene Expression * Data: Drugs * Data: Taxonomy * Data: Images * Data: Animal Model * Data: Microarray * Data: Brain connectivity * Data: Volumetric observation * Data: Value observation * Data: Activation Foci * Data: Neuronal properties * Data: Neuronal reconstruction * Data: Chemosensory receptor * Data: Electrophysiology * Data: Computational model * Data: Brain anatomy * Data: Gene annotation * Data: Disease annotation * Data: Cell Model * Data: Chemical * Data: Pathways For more information refer to Create a LinkOut file, http://neuinfo.org/nif_components/disco/interoperation.shtm Participating resources ( http://disco.neuinfo.org/webportal/discoLinkoutServiceSummary.do?id=4 ): * Addgene http://www.addgene.org/pgvec1 * Animal Imaging Database http://aidb.crbs.ucsd.edu * Antibody Registry http://www.neuinfo.org/products/antibodyregistry/ * Avian Brain Circuitry Database http://www.behav.org/abcd/abcd.php * BAMS Connectivity http://brancusi.usc.edu/ * Beta Cell Biology Consortium http://www.betacell.org/ * bioDBcore http://biodbcore.org/ * BioGRID http://thebiogrid.org/ * BioNumbers http://bionumbers.hms.harvard.edu/ * Brain Architecture Management System http://brancusi.usc.edu/bkms/ * Brede Database http://hendrix.imm.dtu.dk/services/jerne/brede/ * Cell Centered Database http://ccdb.ucsd.edu * CellML Model Repository http://www.cellml.org/models * CHEBI http://www.ebi.ac.uk/chebi/ * Clinical Trials Network (CTN) Data Share http://www.ctndatashare.org/ * Comparative Toxicogenomics Database http://ctdbase.org/ * Coriell Cell Repositories http://ccr.coriell.org/ * CRCNS - Collaborative Research in Computational Neuroscience - Data sharing http://crcns.org * Drug Related Gene Database https://confluence.crbs.ucsd.edu/display/NIF/DRG * DrugBank http://www.drugbank.ca/ * FLYBASE http://flybase.org/ * Gene Expression Omnibus http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/ * Gene Ontology Tools http://www.geneontology.org/GO.tools.shtml * Gene Weaver http://www.GeneWeaver.org * GeneDB http://www.genedb.org/Homepage * Glomerular Activity Response Archive http://gara.bio.uci.edu * GO http://www.geneontology.org/ * Internet Brain Volume Database http://www.cma.mgh.harvard.edu/ibvd/ * ModelDB http://senselab.med.yale.edu/modeldb/ * Mouse Genome Informatics Transgenes ftp://ftp.informatics.jax.org/pub/reports/MGI_PhenotypicAllele.rpt * NCBI Taxonomy Browser http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Taxonomy/taxonomyhome.html * NeuroMorpho.Org http://neuromorpho.org/neuroMorpho * NeuronDB http://senselab.med.yale.edu/neurondb * SciCrunch Registry http://neuinfo.org/nif/nifgwt.html?tab=registry * NIF Registry Automated Crawl Data http://lucene1.neuinfo.org/nif_resource/current/ * NITRC http://www.nitrc.org/ * Nuclear Receptor Signaling Atlas http://www.nursa.org * Olfactory Receptor DataBase http://senselab.med.yale.edu/ordb/ * OMIM http://omim.org * OpenfMRI http://openfmri.org * PeptideAtlas http://www.peptideatlas.org * RGD http://rgd.mcw.edu * SFARI Gene: AutDB https://gene.sfari.org/autdb/Welcome.do * SumsDB http://sumsdb.wustl.edu/sums/ * Temporal-Lobe: Hippocampal - Parahippocampal Neuroanatomy of the Rat http://www.temporal-lobe.com/ * The Cell: An Image Library http://www.cellimagelibrary.org/ * Visiome Platform http://platform.visiome.neuroinf.jp/ * WormBase http://www.wormbase.org * YPED http://medicine.yale.edu/keck/nida/yped.aspx * ZFIN http://zfin.org

Service providing functional analysis of proteins by classifying them into families and predicting domains and important sites. They combine protein signatures from a number of member databases into a single searchable resource, capitalizing on their individual strengths to produce a powerful integrated database and diagnostic tool. This integrated database of predictive protein signatures is used for the classification and automatic annotation of proteins and genomes. InterPro classifies sequences at superfamily, family and subfamily levels, predicting the occurrence of functional domains, repeats and important sites. InterPro adds in-depth annotation, including GO terms, to the protein signatures. You can access the data programmatically, via Web Services. The member databases use a number of approaches: # ProDom: provider of sequence-clusters built from UniProtKB using PSI-BLAST. # PROSITE patterns: provider of simple regular expressions. # PROSITE and HAMAP profiles: provide sequence matrices. # PRINTS provider of fingerprints, which are groups of aligned, un-weighted Position Specific Sequence Matrices (PSSMs). # PANTHER, PIRSF, Pfam, SMART, TIGRFAMs, Gene3D and SUPERFAMILY: are providers of hidden Markov models (HMMs). Your contributions are welcome. You are encouraged to use the ''''Add your annotation'''' button on InterPro entry pages to suggest updated or improved annotation for individual InterPro entries.

Software tool that uses a machine learning (ML) approach to classify text, based on the Gene Ontology. It relies on a k-Nearest Neighbours algorithm, a simple algorithm which assigns to a new text the categories that are the most prevalent among the k most similar instances contained in the knowledge base. The ML classifier operates in two steps and combines two components. First, a related article search engine retrieves instances (i.e. abstracts) in the knowledge base that are the most similar to the input text (its nearest neighbours); second, a score computer infers the functional profile from the k most similar instances.

StRAnGER (Statistical Ranking of ANotated Genomic Experimental Results) is a web application for the automated statistical analysis of annotated gene profiling experiments, exploiting controlled biological vocabularies, like the Gene Ontology or the KEGG pathways terms. Starting from annotated lists of differentially expressed genes StRAnGER repartitions and reorders the initial distribution of terms to define a new distribution of elements where each element pools terms holding the same enrichment score. The elements are then prioritized according to StRAnGER''''s algorithm and, by applying bootstrapping techniques, a corrected measure of the statistical significance of these elements is derived, enabling the selection of terms mapped to these elements, unambiguously associated with respective significant gene sets. Besides their high statistical score, another selection criterion for the terms is the number of their members, something that incurs a biological prioritization in line with a Systems Biology context.

A collaborative ontology for the definition of sequence features used in biological sequence annotation. SO was initially developed by the Gene Ontology Consortium. Contributors to SO include the GMOD community, model organism database groups such as WormBase, FlyBase, Mouse Genome Informatics group, and institutes such as the Sanger Institute and the EBI. Input to SO is welcomed from the sequence annotation community. The OBO revision is available here: http://sourceforge.net/p/song/svn/HEAD/tree/ SO includes different kinds of features which can be located on the sequence. Biological features are those which are defined by their disposition to be involved in a biological process. Biomaterial features are those which are intended for use in an experiment such as aptamer and PCR_product. There are also experimental features which are the result of an experiment. SO also provides a rich set of attributes to describe these features such as polycistronic and maternally imprinted. The Sequence Ontologies use the OBO flat file format specification version 1.2, developed by the Gene Ontology Consortium. The ontology is also available in OWL from Open Biomedical Ontologies. This is updated nightly and may be slightly out of sync with the current obo file. An OWL version of the ontology is also available. The resolvable URI for the current version of SO is http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/so.owl.
