The Human Intermediate Filament Database is a continuously updated review of the intermediate filament field. It is hoped that users will contribute to the development and expansion of the database on a regular basis. Contributions may include novel variants, new patients with previously discovered sequence and allelic variants. Suggestions on ways to improve the database are also welcome. The entire database can be searched through the Browse and Search options. A number of different parameters can be used to search the database including unique identifier, intermediate filament, disease DNA variations, amino acid variations, domain, date accepted, author and abstract. Output from the search is returned in a table containing all the pertinent cross referenced information. Multiple sequence alignment can also be performed via the CLUSTALW program to determine cDNA or protein sequence conservation. The database is linked to multiple other resources including NCBI RefSeq, PDB, OMIM, UCSC genome browser, NCBI Gene, HomoloGene, PubMed and HGNC. In the case of HGNC, reciprocal links are also available from HGNC that links to Human Intermediate Filament Database. Due to the protein centric nature of the Human Intermediate Filament Database and the gene centric nature of HGNC, a HGNC record will potentially link to multiple records in this database due to the presence of alternative splicing. In such an event, the Human Intermediate Filament Database will present to the user a list of all the protein records resulting from the HGNC gene record. The database uses Jalview and Jmol applets for the visualization of multiple sequence alignment and structure respectively. The database contains information on disease phenotypes of a variety of different intermediate filament related diseases.

Interferome is a database that provides identification of interferon regulated gene signatures from high-throughput data sets (i.e. microarray, proteomic data etc.). It will also assist in identifying regulatory elements and enable comparison of tissue expression of IRGs in human and mouse. Availability of sequence information from more than 37 species, together with comprehensive annotation will enable comparative genomics and phylogenetic analysis to be performed on these IRGs. Within the database, Type I, II and III IFN regulated genes have been manually curated from more than 28 publicly available microarray datasets. Interferon Regulated Genes (IRGs) were identified from multiple microarray and proteomic experiments where cells were treated with IFNs. Genes that were up or down regulated more than 1.5 fold relative to control samples were defined as IRGs.

InterDom is a database of putative interacting protein domains derived from multiple sources, ranging from domain fusions (Rosetta Stone), protein interactions (DIP and BIND), protein complexes (PDB), to scientific literature (MEDLINE). Interdom focuses on providing supporting evidence for validating and annotating detected protein interactions and complexes based on putative protein domain interactions. InterDom enhances the quality of in silico derivations by adopting an integrative strategy, assigning higher confidence to domain interactions that are independently derived from different data sources and methods.

This database identifies and characterizes all inter-chain beta-sheet interactions within entries in the Protein Data Bank (PDB) and within the corresponding hypothetical quaternary structures that are automatically generated at the European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI), and that are currently available through the Protein Quaternary Structure (PQS) server, within the Macromolecular Structure Database. The data are stored in a relational database. The database can be accessed through the Web and queried through a simple form. Entries can be ranked according to the relative structural importance of their inter-chain -sheet interactions, or according to other criteria. The ICBS database is intended as a tool to: :* further the study of -sheet protein-protein interactions :* identify new ICBS interactions as new structures are deposited and as old structures are revised in the Protein Data Bank :* help select targets for drug design.

Datasets and tools for comparative analysis and annotation of all publicly available genomes from three domains of life in a uniquely integrated context. Plasmids that are not part of a specific microbial genome sequencing project and phage genomes are also included in order to increase its genomic context for comparative analysis. The user interface (see User Interface Map) allows navigating the microbial genome data space along its three key dimensions (genes, genomes, and functions), and groups together the main comparative analysis tools. Microbial genome data analysis in IMG usually starts with the definition of an analysis context in terms of selected genomes, functional annotations, and/or genes, followed by the individual or comparative analysis of genomes, functional annotations, or genes.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on July 17, 2013. It contains information about segmental duplications in the human genome. The criteria used to identify regions of segmental duplication are: Sequence identity of at least 90, Sequence length of at least 5 kb, Not be entirely composed of repetitive elements. Background Previous studies have suggested that recent segmental duplications, which are often involved in chromosome rearrangements underlying genomic disease, account for some 5 of the human genome. We have developed rapid computational heuristics based on BLAST analysis to detect segmental duplications, as well as regions containing potential sequence misassignments in the human genome assemblies. Results Our analysis of the June 2002 public human genome assembly revealed that 107.4 of 3,043.1 megabases (Mb) (3.53) of sequence contained segmental duplications, each with size equal or more than 5 kb and 90 identity. We have also detected that 38.9 Mb (1.28) of sequence within this assembly is likely to be involved in sequence misassignment errors. Furthermore, we have identified a significant subset (199,965 of 2,327,473 or 8.6) of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the public databases that are not true SNPs but are potential paralogous sequence variants. Conclusion Using two distinct computational approaches, we have identified most of the sequences in the human genome that have undergone recent segmental duplications. Near-identical segmental duplications present a major challenge to the completion of the human genome sequence. Potential sequence misassignments detected in this study would require additional efforts to resolve. The segmental duplication data and summary statistics are available for download. Data for Human Genome (based on the May 2004 Human Genome Assembly (hg17)) Visualize duplication relationships in GBrowse (GBrowse) Duplicon Pair relationships (GFF) Genes within duplication regions (HTML) Genome duplication content (MS Excel) The segmental duplication data can be visualized in a genome browser in the GBrowse section. Selected human genome annotation tracks (except the segmental duplication track) have also been obtained from UCSC and loaded into the genome browser. Detailed information (e.g. overlapping genes, overlapping clones, detailed alignment) can be obtained by clicking on a duplication cluster in GBrowse. Both keyword search and BLAT search are available. Analyses based on previous human genome assemblies can be found in the Previous Analyses section.

The Human BAC Ends Database is a database of sequences from the ends of bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) clones. A whole genome sequencing approach has been described in a map-as-you-go strategy. The complete sequence of a seed BAC is searched against a BAC end database and the minimally overlapping clones in each direction are selected for sequencing. As coverage increases, BAC end sequences provide samples for whole genome survey. It currently contains 743,000 end sequences from 470,000 clones (20 X clone coverage and 12% sequence coverage), generated by TIGR, UofWashington and CalTech, providing a sequence marker every 5 kb across the genome. The coverage by paired-ends on chromosome 22 is over 5X. The project is funded by DOE.
