THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on February 28,2023. Software tool for aligning sequences, similar to BLAST 2 sequences that colour-codes the alignments by reliability. Another useful feature of LAST is that it can compare huge (vertebrate-genome-sized) datasets. Unfortunately, this only applies to the downloadable version of LAST, not the web service. The web service can just about handle bacterial genomes, but it will take a few minutes and the output will be large. LAST can: * Handle big sequence data, e.g: ** Compare two vertebrate genomes ** Align billions of DNA reads to a genome * Indicate the reliability of each aligned column. * Use sequence quality data properly. * Compare DNA to proteins, with frameshifts. * Compare PSSMs to sequences * Calculate the likelihood of chance similarities between random sequences. LAST cannot (yet): * Do spliced alignment., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 16,2025.

http://bioinfo.iitk.ac.in/MIPModDB/

This is a database of comparative protein structure models of MIP (Major Intrinsic Protein) family of proteins. The nearly completed sets of MIPs have been identified from the completed genome sequence of organisms available at NCBI. The structural models of MIP proteins were created by defined protocol. The database aims to provide key information of MIPs in particular based on sequence as well as structures. This will further help to decipher the function of uncharacterized MIPs. For each MIP entry, this database contains information about the source, gene structure, sequence features, substitutions in the conserved NPA motifs, structural model, the residues forming the selectivity filter and channel radius profile. For selected set of MIPs, it is possible to derive structure-based sequence alignment and evolutionary relationship. Sequences and structures of selected MIPs can be downloaded from MIPModDB database.

http://prorepeat.bioinformatics.nl/

ProRepeat is an integrated curated repository and analysis platform for in-depth research on the biological characteristics of amino acid tandem repeats. ProRepeat collects repeats from all proteins included in the UniProt knowledgebase, together with 85 completely sequenced eukaryotic proteomes contained within the RefSeq collection. It contains non-redundant perfect tandem repeats, approximate tandem repeats and simple, low-complexity sequences, covering the majority of the amino acid tandem repeat patterns found in proteins. The ProRepeat web interface allows querying the repeat database using repeat characteristics like repeat unit and length, number of repetitions of the repeat unit and position of the repeat in the protein. Users can also search for repeats by the characteristics of repeat containing proteins, such as entry ID, protein description, sequence length, gene name and taxon. ProRepeat offers powerful analysis tools for finding biological interesting properties of repeats, such as the strong position bias of leucine repeats in the N-terminus of eukaryotic protein sequences, the differences of repeat abundance among proteomes, the functional classification of repeat containing proteins and GC content constrains of repeats' corresponding codons.

http://operons.ibt.unam.mx/OperonPredictor/

The Prokaryotic Operon DataBase (ProOpDB) constitutes one of the most precise and complete repository of operon predictions in our days. Using our novel and highly accurate operon algorithm, we have predicted the operon structures of more than 1,200 prokaryotic genomes. ProOpDB offers diverse alternatives by which a set of operon predictions can be retrieved including: i) organism name, ii) metabolic pathways, as defined by the KEGG database, iii) gene orthology, as defined by the COG database, iv) conserved protein motifs, as defined by the Pfam database, v) reference gene, vi) reference operon, among others. In order to limit the operon output to non-redundant organisms, ProOpDB offers an efficient protocol to select the more representative organisms based on a precompiled phylogenetic distances matrix. In addition, the ProOpDB operon predictions are used directly as the input data of our Gene Context Tool (GeConT) to visualize their genomic context and retrieve the sequence of their corresponding 5�� regulatory regions, as well as the nucleotide or amino acid sequences of their genes. The prediction algorithm The algorithm is a multilayer perceptron neural network (MLP) classifier, that used as input the intergenic distances of contiguous genes and the functional relationship scores of the STRING database between the different groups of orthologous proteins, as defined in the COG database. Nevertheless, the operon prediction of our method is not restricted to only those genes with a COG assignation, since we successfully defined new groups of orthologous genes and obtained, by extrapolation, a set of equivalent STRING-like scores based on conserved gene pairs on different genomes. Since the STRING functional relationships scores are determined in an un-bias manner and efficiently integrates a large amount of information coming from different sources and kind of evidences, the prediction made by our MLP are considerably less influenced by the bias imposed in the training procedure using one specific organism.

Database of information about the spliceosomal introns of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Listed are known spliceosomal introns in the yeast genome and the splice sites actually used are documented. Through the use of microarrays designed to monitor splicing, they are beginning to identify and analyze splice site context in terms of the nature and activities of the trans-acting factors that mediate splice site recognition. In version 3.0, expression data that relates to the efficiency of splicing relative to other processes in strains of yeast lacking nonessential splicing factors is included. These data are displayed on each intron page for browsing and can be downloaded for other types of analysis.
