From SNPs to pathways: integration of functional effect of sequence variations on models of cell signalling pathways.

BMC bioinformatics | 2009

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are the most frequent type of sequence variation between individuals, and represent a promising tool for finding genetic determinants of complex diseases and understanding the differences in drug response. In this regard, it is of particular interest to study the effect of non-synonymous SNPs in the context of biological networks such as cell signalling pathways. UniProt provides curated information about the functional and phenotypic effects of sequence variation, including SNPs, as well as on mutations of protein sequences. However, no strategy has been developed to integrate this information with biological networks, with the ultimate goal of studying the impact of the functional effect of SNPs in the structure and dynamics of biological networks.

This is a list of tools and resources that we have found mentioned in this publication.


BioModels (tool)

RRID:SCR_001993

Repository of mathematical models of biological and biomedical systems. Hosts selection of existing literature based physiologically and pharmaceutically relevant mechanistic models in standard formats. Features programmatic access via Web Services. Each model is curated to verify that it corresponds to reference publication and gives proper numerical results. Curators also annotate components of models with terms from controlled vocabularies and links to other relevant data resources allowing users to search accurately for models they need. Models can be retrieved in SBML format and import/export facilities are being developed to extend spectrum of formats supported by resource.

UniProtKB Keywords (tool)

RRID:SCR_004313

UniProtKB entries are tagged with keywords that can be used to retrieve particular subsets of entries. There are 10 categories of keywords: Biological process Cellular component Coding sequence diversity Developmental stage Disease Domain Ligand Molecular function Post-translation modification Technical term You may browse by hierarchy, search in Keywords, or list all keywords. By default, searching the keywords will look for matches in both name and definition.

Entrez Gene (tool)

RRID:SCR_002473

Database for genomes that have been completely sequenced, have active research community to contribute gene-specific information, or that are scheduled for intense sequence analysis. Includes nomenclature, map location, gene products and their attributes, markers, phenotypes, and links to citations, sequences, variation details, maps, expression, homologs, protein domains and external databases. All entries follow NCBI's format for data collections. Content of Entrez Gene represents result of curation and automated integration of data from NCBI's Reference Sequence project (RefSeq), from collaborating model organism databases, and from many other databases available from NCBI. Records are assigned unique, stable and tracked integers as identifiers. Content is updated as new information becomes available.

COPASI (tool)

RRID:SCR_014260

Software application for simulation and analysis of biochemical network models and their dynamics. COPASI supports models in the SBML standard and can simulate their behavior using ODEs or Gillespies stochastic simulation algorithm. Arbitrary discrete events can be included in such simulations. Models in COPASI are based on reactions that convert a set of species into another set of species. Simulation can be performed either with stochastic kinetics or with differential equations. COPASI also includes various methods of analysis and data visualization.
