Computational biology resource for investigating candidate functional sites in eukarytic proteins. Functional sites which fit to the description linear motif are currently specified as patterns using Regular Expression rules. To improve the predictive power, context-based rules and logical filters are being developed and applied to reduce the amount of false positives. The current version of the ELM server provides core functionality including filtering by cell compartment, phylogeny, globular domain clash (using the SMART/Pfam databases) and structure. In addition, both the known ELM instances and any positionally conserved matches in sequences similar to ELM instance sequences are identified and displayed (see ELM instance mapper). Although the ELM resource contains a large collection of functional site motifs, the current set of motifs is not exhaustive.

Database developed to assist the phylogeneticist user in retrieving individual gene sequence alignments for genes in complete mammalian mitochondrial genomes. Data retrieval in MamMiBase requires three stages. At the first stage, the user must select the mammalian species or group that (s)he wishes to study. In the second stage, the user will select the outgroup from a list that included all species selected in the first stage plus Xenopus laevis and Gallus gallus. Finally, at the third stage, the user will select individual mitochondrial gene alignments or a phylogenetic tree that (s)he wishes to download.

The Dynamic Regulatory Events Miner (DREM) allows one to model, analyze, and visualize transcriptional gene regulation dynamics. The method of DREM takes as input time series gene expression data and static transcription factor-gene interaction data (e.g. ChIP-chip data), and produces as output a dynamic regulatory map. The dynamic regulatory map highlights major bifurcation events in the time series expression data and transcription factors potentially responsible for them. DREM 2.0 was released and supports a number of new features including: * new static binding data for mouse, human, D. melanogaster, A. thaliana * a new and more flexible implementation of the IOHMM supports dynamic binding data for each time point or as a mix of static/dynamic TF input * expression levels of TFs can be used to improve the models learned by DREM * the motif finder DECOD can be used in conjuction with DREM and help find DNA motifs for unannotated splits * new features for the visualization of expressed TFs, dragging boxes in the model view, and switching between representations

The Magnaporthe comparative genomics database provides accesses to multiple fungal genomes from the Magnaporthaceae family to facilitate the comparative analysis. As part of the Broad Fungal Genome Initiative, the Magnaporthe comparative project includes the finished M. oryzae (formerly M. grisea) genome, as well as the draft assemblies of Gaeumannomyces graminis var. tritici and M. poae. It provides users the tools to BLAST search, browse genome regions (to retrieve DNA, find clones, and graphically view sequence regions), and provides gene indexes and genome statistics. We were funded to attempt 7x sequence coverage comprising paired end reads from plasmids, Fosmids and BACs. Our strategy involves Whole Genome Shotgun (WGS) sequencing, in which sequence from the entire genome is generated and reassembled. Our specific aims are as follows: 1. Generate and assemble sequence reads yielding 7X coverage of the Magnaporthe oryzae genome through whole genome shotgun sequencing. 2. Generate and incorporate BAC and Fosmid end sequences into the genome assembly to provide a paired-end of average every 2 kb. 3. Integrate the genome sequence with existing physical and genetic map information. 4. Perform automated annotation of the sequence assembly. 5. Distribute the sequence assembly and results of our annotation and analysis through a freely accessible, public web server and by deposition of the sequence assembly in GenBank.

Database for Drosophila melanogaster transcription profiling that allows users to search the Drosophilia genome, see sequence overviews, and look at various transcripts. The data were generated in conjunction with the recently developed high-throughput genome sequencer Illumina / Solexa using a newly developed 5'-end mRNA collection method. Approximately 25 million 25-27 nucleotide (nt) 5'-end mRNA tags from the embryos, larvae, young males, young females, old males, old females, and S2 (culture cell line) of D. melanogaster were collected. By arranging this vast amount of expression tag with other annotated data, they have built a one-stop service for Drosophila melanogaster transcription profiling.

A platform composed of three modules: the Database, the Search Engine, and rSNPs, for the computational identification of transcription factor binding sites (TFBSs) in multiple genomes, that combines TRANSFAC and JASPAR data with the search power of profile hidden Markov models (HMMs). The Database contains putative TFBSs found in the upstream sequences of genes from the human, mouse and D.melanogaster genomes. For each gene, they scanned the region from 10,000 base pairs upstream of the transcript start to 50 base pairs downstream of the coding sequence start against all their models. Therefore, the database contains putative binding sites in the gene promoter and in the initial introns and non-coding exons. Information displayed for each putative binding site includes the transcription factor name, its position (absolute on the chromosome, or relative to the gene), the score of the prediction, and the region of the gene the site belongs to. If the selected gene has homologs in any of the other two organisms, the program optionally displays the putative TFBSs in the homologs. The Search Engine allows the identification, visualization and selection of putative TFBSs occurring in the promoter or other regions of a gene from the human, mouse, D.melanogaster, C.elegans or S.cerevisiae genomes. In addition, it allows the user to upload a sequence to query and to build a model by supplying a multiple sequence alignment of binding sites for a transcription factor of interest. rSNPs MAPPER is designed to identify Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) that may have an effect on the presence of one or more TFBSs.

Flytrap is an interactive database for displaying gene expression patterns, in particular P(GAL4) patterns, via an intuitive WWW based interface. This development consists of two components, the first being the HTML interface to the database and the second, a tool-kit for constructing and maintaining the database. The browser component of the project is entirely platform independent; based on javascript and HTML and therefore only requires a "standard" browser. This is to facilitate CD-ROM distribution and off-line browsing. Whether on-line or on CD, the basic browser structure does not reply on any server based scripts. Basic searching is now available. The search page uses javascript and will work off-line (i.e. from a CD-ROM copy). The construction tool-kit is UNIX based and requires an on-line web server. The tool-kit is used to compile the HTML browser interface from a simple database. The tool-kit part comprises a forms based HTML interface to the datasets allowing new information to b e added and updated very simply. We are also developing a java interface for the tool-kit that will enable us to edit and annotate images on-line. The basic browser interface is complete and a demonstration version can be accessed via the website. The first working version of the tool-kit is now on-line and is available for use.

A community database of published functional and structural neuroimaging experiments with both metadata descriptions of experimental design and activation locations in the form of stereotactic coordinates (x,y,z) in Talairach or MNI space. BrainMap provides not only data for meta-analyses and data mining, but also distributes software and concepts for quantitative integration of neuroimaging data. The goal of BrainMap is to develop software and tools to share neuroimaging results and enable meta-analysis of studies of human brain function and structure in healthy and diseased subjects. It is a tool to rapidly retrieve and understand studies in specific research domains, such as language, memory, attention, reasoning, emotion, and perception, and to perform meta-analyses of like studies. Brainmap contains the following software: # Sleuth: database searches and Talairach coordinate plotting (this application requires a username and password) # GingerALE: performs meta-analyses via the activation likelihood estimation (ALE) method; also converts coordinates between MNI and Talairach spaces using icbm2tal # Scribe: database entry of published functional neuroimaging papers with coordinate results
