http://www.biomanta.org/

This project encompasses development of novel biological network analysis methods and infrastructure for querying biological data in a semantically-enabled format, and aims to create a semantic interactome model. Research within the BioMANTA project will focus on computational modelling and analysis, primarily using Semantic Web technologies and Machine Learning methods, of large-scale protein-protein interaction and compound activity networks across a wide variety of species. A range of information such as kinetic activity, tissue expression, and subcellular localization and disease state attributes will be included in the resulting data model. Protein interactions are a fundamental component of biological processes. Many proteins are functional only in multimeric complexes, or require interaction partners to achieve their correct localisation or function. For this reason, the study of protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks has become an area of growing interest in computational biology. Through the use of Semantic Web technologies such as Resource Description Framework (RDF) and Web Ontology Language (OWL), interaction data is modelled to create a knowledge representation in which meaning is vested in the ontology rather than instances of data. Stochastic and computational intelligence methods are applied to this data to infer high coverage networks. Semantic inferencing is used to infer previously unknown and meaningful pathways. Major project components: - The BioMANTA Ontology:- An OWL DL ontology incorporating the PSI-MI Ontology, the NCBI Taxonomy, and elements of BioPax ontology and Gene Ontology (describing subcellular localisation). This allows us to re-use existing ontologies, thereby reducing overheads associated with knowledge acquisition in the ontology development process. We are able to integrate existing public data that contain annotation in these formats. - Data conversion & semantic protein integration:- A set of software components that convert protein-protein databases (DIP, MPact, IntAct, etc.) from PSI-MI XML to RDF compliant with the BioMANTA ontology. These software allow us to make these protein-protein interaction datasets (and more generally, any PSI-MI XML data) semantically available for querying and inference within BioMANTA. - A RDF triple store based on RDF Molecules and the MapReduce architecture:- A proof-of-concept RDF triple store using RDF molecules and Hadoop scale-out architectures. Regular RDF graphs are deconstructed into RDF molecules, which are distributed over distributed compute nodes in the MapReduce architecture, and are subsequently combined to form equivalent RDF graphs. Such an approach makes the distributed SPARQL querying and reasoning on RDF triple stores possible. - A quantitative framework to integrate networks extracted from independent data sources (gene expression, subcellular localization, and ortholog mapping):- The model is multi-layer, with a first layer based on Decision Trees where each Decision tree is built on each dataset independently. The tree nodes are cut using Shannon''s entropy (mutual information); the decision of these independent trees is integrated using logistic regression, and the parameters are optimised using maximum likelihood.

This service offers a gateway to well-benchmarked protein structure and function prediction methods. Structural models collected from the prediction servers are assessed using the powerful 3D-jury consensus approach. The Structure Prediction Meta Server provides access to various fold recognition, function prediction and local structure prediction methods. The Server takes the amino acid sequence of the query protein, the reference name for the prediction job, and the E-mail address as input. The E-mail address is used only for notification about errors during the execution of the job. The query sequence and the reference name are placed in the process queue. The Meta Server accepts only sequences, which have not been submitted before. In case of duplicate sequences the second user will be notified with a link to the previous submission. Sequences longer than 800 amino acids are not accepted by some services. The internal SQL database offers the possibility to find any previous jobs processed by the Meta Server using regular expressions addressing field like E-mail, Job Name and the host name, from which the job was initiated. Each server has its own process queuing system managed by the Meta Server. All results of fold recognition servers are translated into uniform formats. The information extracted from the raw output of the servers includes the PDB codes of the hits, the alignments and the similarity (reliability) scores specific for every server. Mapping of the hits to the SCOP and FSSP classifications are made either using known PDB representatives or alignment of the template sequence with the databases of proteins in both classifications. The secondary structure assignments for all hits are taken from the mapped FSSP (red for helices and blue for strands). Underscored amino acids indicate the first residue after an insertion in the template sequence. The Meta server provides translation of the alignments in standard formats like FASTA, PDB or CASP. The Meta Server is coupled to consensus servers. They provide jury predictions based on the results collected from other services. Not all fold recognition servers are used by the jury system. The data stored on the meta server is available through http://meta.bioinfo.pl/data/JOBID/. Jobs older than 2 months are not shown. The Meta Server is only a set of programs aimed to process and manage biological data, while the predictive power of the service comes from (mostly) remote prediction providers. Sponsors: This resource is supported by The BioInfoBank Institute.

High throughput screening services to identify small molecules that can be optimized as chemical probes to study the functions of genes, cells, and biochemical pathways, along with medicinal chemistry and informatics. This will lead to new ways to explore the functions of genes and signaling pathways in health and disease. The NIH Molecular Libraries Initiative NIH is designed to discover small molecules that interact with biologically important proteins and pathways and to provide open access to the bioassay and chemical data generated by its research centers. This will lead to new ways to explore the functions of genes and signaling pathways in health and disease. As these HTS Technologies were not previously available to the public sector, many investigators may not be familiar with the components and requirements of high throughput screening. A key challenge is to identify small molecules effective at modulating a given biological process or disease state. The Molecular Libraries Roadmap, through one of its components, the Molecular Libraries Probe Production Centers Network (MLPCN), offers biomedical researchers access to the large-scale screening capacity, along with medicinal chemistry and informatics necessary to identify chemical probes to study the functions of genes, cells, and biochemical pathways. This will lead to new ways to explore the functions of genes and signaling pathways in health and disease. There are two kinds of data that are available to the scientific community through a dedicated database: Chemical Compounds and Bioassay Results (NCBI). Various types of data, including informative records on substances, compound structures, and biologically active properties of small molecules are housed respectively within PubChem''''s three primary databases: PCSubstance, PCCompound, and PCBioAssay. To date, PubChem contains over 11 million substance records, details about approximately 5.5 million unique compound structures with links to bioassay descriptions, relevant literature, references, and assay data points and over 250 bioassays, a good percentage of which were contributed by the pilot phase of the MLP. The deposition will continue during the current MLPCN phase. NIH anticipates that these projects will also facilitate the development of new drugs, by providing early stage chemical compounds that will enable researchers in the public and private sectors to validate new drug targets, which could then move into the drug-development pipeline. This is particularly true for rare diseases, which may not be attractive for development by the private sector. Funding opportunities are available through the site.

A database of over 300 Electron Microscopy (EM) images of centrioles and centriole related structures from almost 60 species, described by a controlled vocabulary allowing detailed description of the observed structures. This knowledge is supplemented by a manually curated list of proteins known to be involved in centriole assembly, their (putative) orthologs, and localization information. mtocDB aims to characterize the naturally occurring morphological variation observed in centrioles and centriole associated structure alongside molecular information on the proteins involved in their assembly. Examining these in an evolutionary context will allow the cell biology community to infer meaningful relationships between cellular assembly mechanisms and the structures they form. This community resource for cell biologists interested in the the evolution of centrioles and centriole related structures aims to bridge the gap between structural morphology and molecular function by examining naturally occurring structural variation in a phylogenomic context. Centrioles are cylindrical microtubule arrays required for stability and duplication of the centrosome in animal cells, and for the assembly of cilia and flagella in many eukaryotes. The presence of centrioles throughout most eukaryotic branches suggests that this structure was present in the last eukaryotic common ancestor. Although centrioles show a typically well conserved structure, they can perform several functions and display a diversity of accessory structures. However, this diversity is not properly classified beyond model organisms, and the information contained in decades of electronic microscopy of other organisms remains untapped.
