http://www.ub.edu/dnasp/

A software package for the analysis of nucleotide polymorphism from aligned DNA sequence data. DnaSP can estimate several measures of DNA sequence variation within and between populations (in noncoding, synonymous or nonsynonymous sites, or in various sorts of codon positions), as well as linkage disequilibrium, recombination, gene flow and gene conversion parameters. DnaSP can also carry out several tests of neutrality: Hudson, Kreitman and Aguad (1987), Tajima (1989), McDonald and Kreitman (1991), Fu and Li (1993), and Fu (1997) tests. Additionally, DnaSP can estimate the confidence intervals of some test-statistics by the coalescent. The results of the analyses are displayed on tabular and graphic form.

http://bibiserv.techfak.uni-bielefeld.de/dialign/

Tool for multiple sequence alignment using various sources of external information that is particularly useful to detect local homologies in sequences with low overall similarity. While standard alignment methods rely on comparing single residues and imposing gap penalties, DIALIGN constructs pairwise and multiple alignments by comparing entire segments of the sequences. No gap penalty is used. This approach can be used for both global and local alignment, but it is particularly successful in situations where sequences share only local homologies. Several versions of DIALIGN are available online at GOBICS, http://dialign.gobics.de/

http://www.morpholinodatabase.org/

Central database to house data on morpholino screens currently containing over 700 morpholinos including control and multiple morpholinos against the same target. A publicly accessible sequence-based search opens this database for morpholinos against a particular target for the zebrafish community. Morpholino Screens: They set out to identify all cotranslationally translocated genes in the zebrafish genome (Secretome/CTT-ome). Morpholinos were designed against putative secreted/CTT targets and injected into 1-4 cell stage zebrafish embryos. The embryos were observed over a 5 day period for defects in several different systems. The first screen examined 184 gene targets of which 26 demonstrated defects of interest (Pickart et al. 2006). A collaboration with the Verfaillie laboratory examined the knockdown of targets identified in a comparative microarray analysis of hematopoietic stem cells demonstrating how microarray and morpholino technologies can be used in conjunction to enrich for defects in specific developmental processes. Currently, many collaborations are underway to identify genes involved in morphological, kidney, skin, eye, pigment, vascular and hematopoietic development, lipid metabolism and more. The screen types referred to in the search functions are the specific areas of development that were examined during the various screens, which include behavior, general morphology, pigmentation, toxicity, Pax2 expression, and development of the craniofacial structures, eyes, kidneys, pituitary, and skin. Only data pertaining to specific tests performed are presented. Due to the complexity of this international collaboration and time constraints, not all morpholinos were subjected to all screen types. They are currently expanding public access to the database. In the future we will provide: * Mortality curves and dose range for each morpholino * Preliminary data regarding the effectiveness of each morpholino * Expanded annotation for each morpholino * External linkage of our morpholino sequences to ZFIN and Ensembl.

http://www.glycosciences.de/tools/glyseq/

Service dedicated to statistically analyze the sequences around glycosylation sites. Glycosylation belongs to the most common and most important co- and postranslational modifications of proteins. Since it is often difficult to determine which potential glycosylation sites are in fact glycosylated, there is only few data available about glycoproteins. Sources from which such data can be retrieved are SwissProt and the Protein Data Bank (PDB). Data from the PDB is obtained using pdb2linucs and updated weekly. GlySeq is dedicated to statistically analyze these sequences, especially the areas around glycosylation sites.

http://www.genoscope.cns.fr/externe/tetraodon/

The initial objective of Genoscope was to compare the genomic sequences of this fish to that of humans to help in the annotation of human genes and to estimate their number. This strategy is based on the common genetic heritage of the vertebrates: from one species of vertebrate to another, even for those as far apart as a fish and a mammal, the same genes are present for the most part. In the case of the compact genome of Tetraodon, this common complement of genes is contained in a genome eight times smaller than that of humans. Although the length of the exons is similar in these two species, the size of the introns and the intergenic sequences is greatly reduced in this fish. Furthermore, these regions, in contrast to the exons, have diverged completely since the separation of the lineages leading to humans and Tetraodon. The Exofish method, developed at Genoscope, exploits this contrast such that the conserved regions which can be identified by comparing genomic sequences of the two species, correspond only to coding regions. Using preliminary sequencing results of the genome of Tetraodon in the year 2000, Genoscope evaluated the number of human genes at about 30,000, whereas much higher estimations were current. The progress of the annotation of the human genome has since supported the Genoscope hypothesis, with values as low as 22,000 genes and a consensus of around 25,000 genes. The sequencing of the Tetraodon genome at a depth of about 8X, carried out as a collaboration between Genoscope and the Whitehead Institute Center for Genome Research (now the Broad Institute), was finished in 2002, with the production of an assembly covering 90 of the euchromatic region of the genome of the fish. This has permitted the application of Exofish at a larger scale in comparisons with the genome of humans, but also with those of the two other vertebrates sequenced at the time (Takifugu, a fish closely related to Tetraodon, and the mouse). The conserved regions detected in this way have been integrated into the annotation procedure, along with other resources (cDNA sequences from Tetraodon and ab initio predictions). Of the 28,000 genes annotated, some families were examined in detail: selenoproteins, and Type 1 cytokines and their receptors. The comparison of the proteome of Tetraodon with those of mammals has revealed some interesting differences, such as a major diversification of some hormone systems and of the collagen molecules in the fish. A search for transposable elements in the genomic sequences of Tetraodon has also revealed a high diversity (75 types), which contrasts with their scarcity; the small size of the Tetraodon genome is due to the low abundance of these elements, of which some appear to still be active. Another factor in the compactness of the Tetraodon genome, which has been confirmed by annotation, is the reduction in intron size, which approaches a lower limit of 50-60 bp, and which preferentially affects certain genes. The availability of the sequences from the genomes of humans and mice on one hand, and Takifugu and Tetraodon on the other, provide new opportunities for the study of vertebrate evolution. We have shown that the level of neutral evolution is higher in fish than in mammals. The protein sequences of fish also diverge more quickly than those of mammals. A key mechanism in evolution is gene duplication, which we have studied by taking advantage of the anchoring of the majority of the sequences from the assembly on the chromosomes. The result of this study speaks strongly in favor of a whole genome duplication event, very early in the line of ray-finned fish (Actinopterygians). An even stronger evidence came from synteny studies between the genomes of humans and Tetraodon. Using a high-resolution synteny map, we have reconstituted the genome of the vertebrate which predates this duplication - that is, the last common ancestor to all bony vertebrates (most of the vertebrates apart from cartilaginous fish and agnaths like lamprey). This ancestral karyotype contains 12 chromosomes, and the 21 Tetraodon chromosomes derive from it by the whole genome duplication and a surprisingly small number of interchromosomal rearrangements. On the contrary, exchanges between chromosomes have been much more frequent in the lineage that leads to humans. Sponsors: The project was supported by the Consortium National de Recherche en Genomique and the National Human Genome Research Institute.
