THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on October 28,2025. These databases were constructed by extracting the organism specific ESTs from dbEST, removing polyA sequences from the ends and trimming 5' and 3' regions with greater than 25% N's in a 20 base pair window. These quality sequences were then aligned using the cap2 program and the consensus sequences thus generated put into a database that is available on the web. A number of parasitic organisms were chosen that have between 3000 and 15000 ESTs. The attempt here is to provide useful information and analyses to the scientific community without curating the results in any way. A total of 55192 ESTs, deposited into dbEST/GenBank, were included in the analyses. The resulting sequences have been clustered into nonredundant gene assemblies and deposited into a relational database that supports a variety of sequence and text searches. This database has been used to compare the gene assemblies using BLAST similarity comparisons to the public protein databases to identify putative genes. Of these new entries, approximately 15%-20% represent putative homologs with a conservative cutoff of p < 10(-9), thus identifying many conserved genes that are likely to share common functions with other well-studied organisms. Gene assemblies were also used to identify strain polymorphisms, examine stage-specific expression, and identify gene families. An interesting class of genes that are confined to members of this phylum and not shared by plants, animals, or fungi, was identified. These genes likely mediate the novel biological features of members of the Apicomplexa and hence offer great potential for biological investigation and as possible therapeutic targets.

Database of predicted transcription factors in completely sequenced genomes. The predicted transcription factors all contain assignments to sequence specific DNA-binding domain families. The predictions are based on domain assignments from the SUPERFAMILY and Pfam hidden Markov model libraries. Benchmarks of the transcription factor predictions show they are accurate and have wide coverage on a genomic scale. The DBD consists of predicted transcription factor repertoires for 930 completely sequenced genomes.

Database providing access to information about transmembrane proteins that exist under different conformations, with three primary subfamilies: the cys-loop superfamily, the ATP gated channels superfamily, and the glutamate activated cationic channels superfamily. Due to the lack of evolutionary relationship, these three superfamilies are treated separately. It currently contains 554 entries of ligand-activated ion channel subunits. In this database one may find: the nucleic and proteic sequences of the subunits. Multiple sequence alignments can be generated, and some phylogenetic studies of the superfamilies are provided. Additionally, the atomic coordinates of subunits, or portion of subunits, are provided when available. Redundancy is kept to a minimum, i.e. one entry per gene. Each entry in the database has been manually constructed and checked by a researcher of the field in order to reduce the inaccuracies to a minimum. NOTE: This database is not actively maintained anymore. People should not consider it as an up-to-date trustable resource. For any new work, they should consider using alternative sources, such as UniProt, Ensembl, Protein Databank etc.

ooTFD (object-oriented Transcription Factors Database) is a successor to TFD, the original Transcription Factors Database. This database is aimed at capturing information regarding the polypeptide interactions which comprise and define the properties of transcription factors. ooTFD contains information about transcription factor binding sites, as well as composite relationships within transcription factors, which frequently occur as multisubunit proteins that form a complex interface to cellular processes outside the transcription machinery through protein-protein interactions. ooTFD contains information represented in TFD but also allows the representation of containment, composite, and interaction relationships between transcription factor polypeptides. It is designed to represent information about all transcription factors, both eukaryotic and prokaryotic, basal as well as regulatory factors, and multiprotein complexes as well as monomers.

Public database of known binding sites identified in promoters of orthologous vertebrate genes that have been manually curated from bibliography. We have annotated 650 experimental binding sites from 68 transcription factors and 100 orthologous target genes in human, mouse, rat or chicken genome sequences. Computational predictions and promoter alignment information are also provided for each entry. For each gene, TFBSs conserved in orthologous sequences from at least two different species must be available. Promoter sequences as well as the original GenBank or RefSeq entries are additionally supplied in case of future identification conflicts. The final TSS annotation has been refined using the database dbTSS. Up to this release, 500 bps upstream the annotated transcription start site (TSS) according to REFSEQ annotations have been always extracted to form the collection of promoter sequences from human, mouse, rat and chicken. For each regulatory site, the position, the motif and the sequence in which the site is present are available in a simple format. Cross-references to EntrezGene, PubMed and RefSeq are also provided for each annotation. Apart from the experimental promoter annotations, predictions by popular collections of weight matrices are also provided for each promoter sequence. In addition, global and local alignments and graphical dotplots are also available.

http://romi.bu.edu/elisa/

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented August 23, 2016. ELISA is an online database that combines functional annotation with structure and sequence homology modeling to place proteins into sequence-structure-function neighborhoods. The atomic unit of the database is a set of sequences and structural templates that those sequences encode. A graph that is built from the structural comparison of these templates is called PDUG (protein domain universe graph). It introduces a method of functional inference through a probabilistic calculation done on an arbitrary set of PDUG nodes. Further, all PDUG structures are mapped onto all fully sequenced proteomes allowing an easy interface for evolutionary analysis and research into comparative proteomics. ELISA is the first database with applicability to evolutionary structural genomics explicitly in mind.

DoTS (Database Of Transcribed Sequences) is a human and mouse transcript index created from all publicly available transcript sequences. The input sequences are clustered and assembled to form the DoTS Consensus Transcripts that comprise the index. These transcripts are assigned stable identifiers of the form DT.123456 (and are often referred to as dots). The transcripts are in turn clustered to form putative DoTS Genes. These are assigned stable identifiers of the form DG.1234356. As of September 1, 2004, the DoTS annotation team has manually annotated 43,164 human and 78,054 mouse DoTS Transcripts (DTs), corresponding to 3,939 human and 7,752 mouse DoTS Genes (DGs). Use the manually annotated gene query to see the DoTS Transcripts that have been manually annotated. The focus of the DoTS project is integrating the various types of data (e.g., EST sequences, genomic sequence, expression data, functional annotation) in a structured manner which facilitates sophisticated queries that are otherwise not easy to perform. DoTS is built on the GUS Platform which includes a relational database that uses controlled vocabularies and ontologies to ensure that biologically meaningful queries can be posed in a uniform fashion. An easy way to start using the site is to search for DoTS Transcripts using an existing cDNA or mRNA sequence. Click on the BLAST tab at the top of the page and enter your sequence in the form provided. All the transcripts with significant sequence similarity to your query sequence will be displayed. Or use one of the provided queries to retrieve transcripts using a number of criteria. These queries are listed on the query page, which can also be reached by clicking on the tab marked query at the top of the page. Finally, the boolean query page allows these queries to be combined in a variety of ways. Sponsors: Funding provided by -NIH grant RO1-HG-01539-03 -DOE grant DE-FG02-00ER62893

http://machibase.gi.k.u-tokyo.ac.jp/

Database for Drosophila melanogaster transcription profiling that allows users to search the Drosophilia genome, see sequence overviews, and look at various transcripts. The data were generated in conjunction with the recently developed high-throughput genome sequencer Illumina / Solexa using a newly developed 5'-end mRNA collection method. Approximately 25 million 25-27 nucleotide (nt) 5'-end mRNA tags from the embryos, larvae, young males, young females, old males, old females, and S2 (culture cell line) of D. melanogaster were collected. By arranging this vast amount of expression tag with other annotated data, they have built a one-stop service for Drosophila melanogaster transcription profiling.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented August 22, 2016. Web-accessible program that identifies the region(s) of a user-selected gene and of its coding sequence (CDS) where the anticipated point mutations are most likely to result in deleterious effects on the gene's function. CODDLe separately handles 1) the prediction of changes which should truncate the protein and destabilize the RNA - nonsense changes and splice junction changes, and 2) the prediction of missense changes which should alter function of the gene product - those in conserved amino acid blocks in the CDS. Because the region(s) identified will be PCR amplified by the user and that amplicon will be used for polymorphism discovery, the application delivers primer pairs selected by Primer3 (Steve Rozen, Helen J. Skaletsky (1996,1997,1998)Primer3.) After selecting a primer pair, CODDLe returns a window with the selected amplicon and tabulates the effects of all possible polymorphisms which could be detected in that amplicon. CODDLe will not identify the regions of a gene where polymorphisms are most likely to be discovered. Others have shown that naturally occurring SNPs are found more often in the untranslated regions of a gene.

BiSearch is a primer-design algorithm for DNA sequences. It may be used for both bisulfite converted as well as for original not modified sequences. You can search various genomes with the designed primers to avoid non-specific PCR products by our fast ePCR method. This is especially recommended when primers are designed to amplify the highly redundant bisulfite treated sequences. It has the unique property of analyzing the primer pairs for mispriming sites on the bisulfite-treated genome and determines potential non-specific amplification products with a new search algorithm. The options of primer-design and analysis for mispriming sites can be used sequentially or separately, both on bisulfite-treated and untreated sequences. In silico and in vitro tests of the software suggest that new PCR strategies may increase the efficiency of the amplification.
