Biomedical Logical Programming (Blip) is a research-oriented deductive database and prolog application library for handling biological and biomedical data. It includes packages for advanced querying of ontologies and annotations. Blip underpins the Obol tool. Here are some distinguishing characteristics of Blip * Lightweight. Bloat-free: Blip only has as many modules as it needs to do its job. * Fast. * Declarative. Say what you want to do, not how you want to do it * Blip can be Query-oriented: specify your data sources and ask your query * Blip can be Application-oriented: it is designed to be used as an application library used by other bioinformatics tools * Mature and fully functional ontology module for handling both OBO-style ontologies and OWL ontologies. * Modules for handling biological sequences and sequence features. (currently limited functionality, added as needed) * A systems biology module for querying pathway and interaction data. (currently limited functionality, added as needed) * Relational database integration. SQL can be viewed as a highly restricted dialect of Prolog. Although the SWI-Prolog in-memory database is fast and scalable, sometimes it is nice to be able to fetch data from an external database. Blip contains a generic SQL utility module and predicate mappings for the GO database, Ensembl and Chado * Integration with a variety of bioinformatics file formats. SWI-Prolog has a variety of fast libraries for dealing with XML, RDF and tabular data files. Blip provides bridges from bio file formats encoded using these syntaxes into its native models. For other syntaxes, Blip seamlessly integrates other packages such as BioPerl and go-perl. Although these dependencies require extra installation, there is no point reinventing the wheel * Rapid development of web applications. Blip extends SWI-Prolog''''s excellent http support with a simple and powerful logical-functional-programming style application server, serval. This has been used to prototype a fully-featured next-generation replacement for the GO project amigo browser. * Scalable. Blip is not intended to be a toy system on toy data (although it is happy to be used as a toy if you like!). It is intended to be used as an application component and a tool operating on real-world biological and biomedical data Blip is written in SWI-Prolog, a fast, robust and scalable implementation of ISO Prolog. Platform: Windows compatible, Mac OS X compatible, Linux compatible, Unix compatible

Db for Dummies! is a small database that imports the Generic GO Slim. It allows data to be viewed in a tree. The Gene Ontology describes gene products in terms of their associated biological processes, cellular components and molecular functions. The Generic Slim Gene Ontology is a subset of the whole Gene Ontology. The slim version gives a broad overview and leaves out specific/fine grained terms. This example stores the slim version of the Gene Ontology (goslim_generic_obo) that can be downloaded from www.geneontology.org/GO.slims.shtml. Platform: Windows compatible

http://vortex.cs.wayne.edu/projects.htm#Onto-Translate

In the annotation world, the same piece of information can be stored and viewed differently across different databases. For instance, more than one Affymetrix probe ID can refer to the same GenBank sequence (accession number) and more than one nucleotide sequence from GenBank can be grouped in a single UniGene cluster. The result of Onto-Express depends on whether the input list contains Affymetrix probe IDs, GenBank accession numbers or UniGene cluster IDs. The user has to be aware of relations between the different forms of the data in order to interpret correctly the results. Even if the user is aware of the relationships and knows how to convert them, most existing tools allow conversions of individual genes. Onto-Translate is a tool that allows the user to perform easily such translations. Affymetrix probe IDs, etc., translate GO terms into other identifiers like GenBank accession number, Uniprot IDs. User account required. Platform: Online tool

ToppGene Suite is a one-stop portal for gene list enrichment analysis and candidate gene prioritization based on functional annotations and protein interactions network. ToppGene Suite is a one-stop portal for (i) gene list functional enrichment, (ii) candidate gene prioritization using either functional annotations or network analysis and (iii) identification and prioritization of novel disease candidate genes in the interactome. Functional annotation-based disease candidate gene prioritization uses a fuzzy-based similarity measure to compute the similarity between any two genes based on semantic annotations. The similarity scores from individual features are combined into an overall score using statistical meta-analysis.

A community-driven ontology that is developed to standardize and integrate cell line information and support computer-assisted reasoning. Its focus is on permanent cell lines from culture collections. Upper ontology structures that frame the skeleton of CLO include Basic Formal Ontology and Relation Ontology. Cell lines contained in CLO are associated with terms from other ontologies such as Cell Type Ontology, NCBI Taxonomy, and Ontology for Biomedical Investigation. A common design pattern for the cell line is used to model cell lines and their attributes, the Jurkat cell line provides ane xample. Currently CLO contains over 36,000 cell line entries obtained from ATCC, HyperCLDB, Coriell, and bymanual curation. The cell lines are derived from 194 cell types, 656 anatomical entries, and 217 organisms. The OWL-based CLO is machine-readable and can be used in various applications. The CLO development has become a community effort with international collaborations. The development consortium includes experts from all over the world: the USA, Europe, and Japan.

A Cytoscape plug-in that visualizes the non-redundant biological terms for large clusters of genes in a functionally grouped network. It can be used in combination with GOlorize. The identifiers can be uploaded from a text file or interactively from a network of Cytoscape. The type of identifiers supported can be easily extended by the user. ClueGO performs single cluster analysis and comparison of clusters. From the ontology sources used, the terms are selected by different filter criteria. The related terms which share similar associated genes can be combined to reduce redundancy. The ClueGO network is created with kappa statistics and reflects the relationships between the terms based on the similarity of their associated genes. On the network, the node colour can be switched between functional groups and clusters distribution. ClueGO charts are underlying the specificity and the common aspects of the biological role. The significance of the terms and groups is automatically calculated. ClueGO is easy updatable with the newest files from Gene Ontology and KEGG. Platform: Windows compatible, Mac OS X compatible, Linux compatible, Unix compatible, THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 16,2025.

ESTScan is a program that can detect coding regions in DNA sequences, even if they are of low quality. ESTScan will also detect and correct sequencing errors that lead to frameshifts. ESTScan is not a gene prediction program , nor is it an open reading frame detector. In fact, its strength lies in the fact that it does not require an open reading frame to detect a coding region. As a result, the program may miss a few translated amino acids at either the N or the C terminus, but will detect coding regions with high selectivity and sensitivity. ESTScan takes advantages of the bias in hexanucleotide usage found in coding regions relative to non-coding regions. This bias is formalized as an inhomogeneous 3-periodic fifth-order Hidden Markov Model (HMM). Additionally, the HMM of ESTScan has been extended to allows insertions and deletions when these improve the coding region statistics.

The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation currently makes grants in five core program areas: * Higher Education and Scholarship * Scholarly Communications and Information Technology * Art History, Conservation, and Museums * Performing Arts * Conservation and the Environment Within each of its core programs, the Foundation concentrates most of its grantmaking in a few areas. Institutions and programs receiving support are often leaders in fields of Foundation activity, but they may also be promising newcomers, or in a position to demonstrate new ways of overcoming obstacles to achieve program goals. Our grantmaking philosophy is to build, strengthen and sustain institutions and their core capacities, rather than be a source for narrowly defined projects. As such, we develop thoughtful, long-term collaborations with grant recipients and invest sufficient funds for an extended period to accomplish the purpose at hand and achieve meaningful results.
