FULL-malaria is a database for a full-length-enriched cDNA library from the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. Because of its medical importance, this organism is the first target for genome sequencing of a eukaryotic pathogen; the sequences of two of its 14 chromosomes have already been determined. However, for the full exploitation of this rapidly accumulating information, correct identification of the genes and study of their expression are essential. Using the oligo-capping method, this database has produced a full-length-enriched cDNA library from erythrocytic stage parasites and performed one-pass reading. The database consists of nucleotide sequences of 2490 random clones that include 390 (16%) known malaria genes according to BLASTN analysis of the nr-nt database in GenBank; these represent 98 genes, and the clones for 48 of these genes contain the complete protein-coding sequence (49%). On the other hand, comparisons with the complete chromosome 2 sequence revealed that 35 of 210 predicted genes are expressed, and in addition led to detection of three new gene candidates that were not previously known. In total, 19 of these 38 clones (50%) were full-length. From these observations, it is expected that the database contains approximately 1000 genes, including 500 full-length clones. It should be an invaluable resource for the development of vaccines and novel drugs. Full-malaria has been updated in at least three points. (i) 8934 sequences generated from the addition of new libraries added so that the database collection of 11,424 full-length cDNAs covers 1375 (25%) of the estimated number of the entire 5409 parasite genes. (ii) All of its full-length cDNAs and GenBank EST sequences were mapped to genomic sequences together with publicly available annotated genes and other predictions. This precisely determined the gene structures and positions of the transcriptional start sites, which are indispensable for the identification of the promoter regions. (iii) A total of 4257 cDNA sequences were newly generated from murine malaria parasites, Plasmodium yoelii yoelii. The genome/cDNA sequences were compared at both nucleotide and amino acid levels, with those of P.falciparum, and the sequence alignment for each gene is presented graphically. This part of the database serves as a versatile platform to elucidate the function(s) of malaria genes by a comparative genomic approach. It should also be noted that all of the cDNAs represented in this database are supported by physical cDNA clones, which are publicly and freely available, and should serve as indispensable resources to explore functional analyses of malaria genomes. Sponsors: This database has been constructed and maintained by a Grant-in-Aid for Publication of Scientific Research Results from the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS). This work was also supported by a Special Coordination Funds for Promoting Science and Technology from the Science and Technology Agency of Japan (STA) and a Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research on Priority Areas from the Ministry of Education, Science, Sports and Culture of Japan.

http://proportal.mit.edu/

ProPortal is a database containing genomic, metagenomic, transcriptomic and field data for the marine cyanobacterium Prochlorococcus. Our goal is to provide a source of cross-referenced data across multiple scales of biological organization--from the genome to the ecosystem--embracing the full diversity of ecotypic variation within this microbial taxon, its sister group, Synechococcus and phage that infect them. The site currently contains the genomes of 13 Prochlorococcus strains, 11 Synechococcus strains and 28 cyanophage strains that infect one or both groups. Cyanobacterial and cyanophage genes are clustered into orthologous groups that can be accessed by keyword search or through a genome browser. Users can also identify orthologous gene clusters shared by cyanobacterial and cyanophage genomes. Gene expression data for Prochlorococcus ecotypes MED4 and MIT9313 allow users to identify genes that are up or downregulated in response to environmental stressors. In addition, the transcriptome in synchronized cells grown on a 24-h light-dark cycle reveals the choreography of gene expression in cells in a ''natural'' state. Metagenomic sequences from the Global Ocean Survey from Prochlorococcus, Synechococcus and phage genomes are archived so users can examine the differences between populations from diverse habitats. Finally, an example of cyanobacterial population data from the field is included.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented May 10, 2017. A pilot effort that has developed a centralized, web-based biospecimen locator that presents biospecimens collected and stored at participating Arizona hospitals and biospecimen banks, which are available for acquisition and use by researchers. Researchers may use this site to browse, search and request biospecimens to use in qualified studies. The development of the ABL was guided by the Arizona Biospecimen Consortium (ABC), a consortium of hospitals and medical centers in the Phoenix area, and is now being piloted by this Consortium under the direction of ABRC. You may browse by type (cells, fluid, molecular, tissue) or disease. Common data elements decided by the ABC Standards Committee, based on data elements on the National Cancer Institute''s (NCI''s) Common Biorepository Model (CBM), are displayed. These describe the minimum set of data elements that the NCI determined were most important for a researcher to see about a biospecimen. The ABL currently does not display information on whether or not clinical data is available to accompany the biospecimens. However, a requester has the ability to solicit clinical data in the request. Once a request is approved, the biospecimen provider will contact the requester to discuss the request (and the requester''s questions) before finalizing the invoice and shipment. The ABL is available to the public to browse. In order to request biospecimens from the ABL, the researcher will be required to submit the requested required information. Upon submission of the information, shipment of the requested biospecimen(s) will be dependent on the scientific and institutional review approval. Account required. Registration is open to everyone.. Documented on August 19,2019.BOND, which requires registration of a free account, is a resource used to perform cross-database searches of available sequence, interaction, complex and pathway information. BOND integrates a range of component databases including GenBank and BIND, the Biomolecular Interaction Network Database. BOND contains 70+ million biological sequences, 33,000 structures, 38,000 GO terms, and over 200,000 human curated interactions contained in BIND, and is open access. BOND serves the interests of the developing global interactome effort encompassing the genomic, proteomic and metabolomic research communities. BOND is the first open access search resource to integrate sequence and interaction information. BOND integrates BLAST functionality, and contains a well-documented API. BOND also stores annotation links for sequences, including links to Genome Ontology descriptions, MedLine abstracts, taxon identifiers, associated structures, redundant sequences, sequence neighbors, conserved domains, data base cross-references, Online Mendalian Inheritance in Man identifiers, LocusLink identifiers and complete genomes. BIND on BOND The Biomolecular Interaction Network Database (BIND), a component database of BOND, is a collection of records documenting molecular interactions. The contents of BIND include high-throughput data submissions and hand-curated information gathered from the scientific literature. BIND is an interaction database with three classifications for molecular associations: molecules that associate with each other to form interactions, molecular complexes that are formed from one or more interaction(s) and pathways that are defined by a specific sequence of two or more interactions.Interactions A BIND record represents an interaction between two or more objects that is believed to occur in a living organism. A biological object can be a protein, DNA, RNA, ligand, molecular complex, gene, photon or an unclassified biological entity. BIND records are created for interactions which have been shown experimentally and published in at least one peer-reviewed journal. A record also references any papers with experimental evidence that support or dispute the associated interaction. Interactions are the basic units of BIND and can be linked together to form molecular complexes or pathways. The BIND interaction viewer is a tool to visualize and analyze molecular interactions, complexes and pathways. The BIND interaction viewer uses Ontoglyphs to display information about a protein via attributes such as molecular function, biological process and sub-cellular localization. Ontoglyphs allow to graphically and interactively explore interaction networks, by visualizing interactions in the context of 34 functional, 25 binding specificity and 24 sub-cellular localization Ontoglyphs categories. We will continue to provide an open access version of BOND, providing its subscribers with free, unlimited access to a core content set. But we are confident you will soon want to upgrade to BONDplus.

The MIPS Ustilago maydis Genome Database aims to present information on the molecular structure and functional network of the entirely sequenced, filamentous fungus Ustilago maydis. The underlying sequence is the initial release of the high quality draft sequence of the Broad Institute. The goal of the MIPS database is to provide a comprehensive genome database in the Genome Research Environment in parallel with other fungal genomes to enable in depth fungal comparative analysis. The specific aims are to: 1. Generate and assemble Whole Genome Shotgun sequence reads yielding 10X coverage of the U. maydis genome 2. Integrate the genomic sequence assembly with physical maps generated by Bayer CropScience 3. Perform automated annotation of the sequence assembly 4. Align the strain 521 assembly with the FB1 assembly provided by Exelixis 5. Release the sequence assembly and results of our annotation and analysis to public Ustilago maydis is a basidiomycete fungal pathogen of maize and teosinte. The genome size is approximately 20 Mb. The fungus induces tumors on host plants and forms masses of diploid teliospores. These spores germinate and form haploid meiotic products that can be propagated in culture as yeast-like cells. Haploid strains of opposite mating type fuse and form a filamentous, dikaryotic cell type that invades plant tissue to reinitiate infection. Ustilago maydis is an important model system for studying pathogen-host interactions and has been studied for more than 100 years by plant pathologists. Molecular genetic research with U. maydis focuses on recombination, the role of mating in pathogenesis, and signaling pathways that influence virulence. Recently, the fungus has emerged as an excellent experimental model for the molecular genetic analysis of phytopathogenesis, particularly in the characterization of infection-specific morphogenesis in response to signals from host plants. Ustilago maydis also serves as an important model for other basidiomycete plant pathogens that are more difficult to work with in the laboratory, such as the rust and bunt fungi. Genomic sequence of U. maydis will also be valuable for comparative analysis of other fungal genomes, especially with respect to understanding the host range of fungal phytopathogens. The analysis of U. maydis would provide a framework for studying the hundreds of other Ustilago species that attack important crops, such as barley, wheat, sorghum, and sugarcane. Comparisons would also be possible with other basidiomycete fungi, such as the important human pathogen C. neoformans. Commercially, U. maydis is an excellent model for the discovery of antifungal drugs. In addition, maize tumors caused by U. maydis are prized in Hispanic cuisine and there is interest in improving commercial production. The complete putative gene set of the Broad Institute''s second release is loaded into the database and in addition all deviating putative genes from a putative gene set produced by MIPS with different gene prediction parameters are also loaded. The complete dataset will then be analysed, gene predictions will be manually corrected due to combined information derived from different gene prediction algorithms and, more important, protein and EST comparisons. Gene prediction will be restricted to ORFs larger than 50 codons; smaller ORFs will be included only if similarities to other proteins or EST matches confirm their existence or if a coding region was postulated by all prediction programs used. The resulting proteins will be annotated. They will be classified according to the MIPS classification catalogue receiving appropriate descriptions. All proteins with a known, characterized homolog will be automatically assigned to functional categories using the MIPS functional catalog. All extracted proteins are in addition automatically analysed and annotated by the PEDANT suite.

PrimerParadise is an online PCR primer database for genomics studies. The database contains predesigned PCR primers for amplification of exons, genes and SNPs of almost all sequenced genomes. Primers can be used for genome-wide projects (resequencing, mutation analysis, SNP detection etc). The primers for eukaryotic genomes have been tested with e-PCR to make sure that no alternative products will be generated. Also, all eukaryotic primers have been filtered to exclude primers that bind excessively throughout the genome. Genes are amplified as amplicons. Amplicons are defined as only one genes exons containing maximaly 3000 bp long dna segments. If gene is longer than 3000 bp then it is split into the segments at length 3000 bp. So for example gene at length 5000 bp is split into two segment and for both segments there were designed a separate primerpair. If genes exons length is over 3000 bp then it is split into amplicons as well. Every SNP has one primerpair. In addition of considering repetitive sequences and mono-dinucleotide repeats, we avoid designing primers to genome regions which contain other SNPs. -There are two ways to search for primers: you can use features IDs ( for SNP primers Reference ID, for gene/exon primers different IDs (Ensembl gene IDs, HUGO IDs for human genes, LocusLink IDs, RefSeq IDs, MIM IDs, NCBI gene names, SWISSPROT IDs for bacterial genes, VEGA gene IDs for human and mouse, Sanger S.pombe systematic gene names and common gene names, S.cerevisiae GeneBanks Locus, AccNo, GI IDs and common gene names) -you can use genome regions (chromosome coordinates, chromosome bands if exists) -Currently we provide 3 primers collections: proPCR for prokaryotic organisms genes primers -euPCR for eukaryotic organisms genes/exons primers -snpPCR for eukaryotic organisms SNP primers Sponsors: PrimerStudio is funded by the University of Tartu.

The Plasmid Genome Database aims to collate biological and genomic data for all bacterial plasmids in the hopes of enabling rapid, interrogation of both meta- and genomic data. Data maintained includes access to all plasmid genomes and information on core genomic features obtained from parsing the original EMBL/DDBJ/NCBI submission. In addition a suite of third party analyses has been performed for each genome to supplement the original annotation. This site also links to Genome Atlases provided by the Centre for Biological Sequence Analysis (CBS). The motivation behind the construction of this site derived from observations from genome sequencing projects: the abundance and inferred importance of the horizontal gene pool (HGP) in bacterial adaptation and evolution. In so far as plasmids are autonomously replicating, extrachromosomal elements they are a readily identifiable and accessible component of the HGP. Also plasmids have been identified in almost all bacterial divisions, ranging in size from less than 2 kbp to > 1.5 Mbp and as such represent a defined, yet diverse and complex sample of genes in the HGP.
