An interactive, visual database containing more than 350 small molecule pathways found in humans. More than 2/3 of these pathways (>280) are not found in any other pathway database. SMPDB is designed specifically to support pathway elucidation and pathway discovery in metabolomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and systems biology. It is able to do so, in part, by providing exquisitely detailed, fully searchable, hyperlinked diagrams of human metabolic pathways, metabolic disease pathways, metabolite signaling pathways and drug-action pathways. All SMPDB pathways include information on the relevant organs, subcellular compartments, protein cofactors, protein locations, metabolite locations, chemical structures and protein quaternary structures. Each small molecule is hyperlinked to detailed descriptions contained in the HMDB or DrugBank and each protein or enzyme complex is hyperlinked to UniProt. All SMPDB pathways are accompanied with detailed descriptions and references, providing an overview of the pathway, condition or processes depicted in each diagram. The database is easily browsed and supports full text, sequence and chemical structure searching. Users may query SMPDB with lists of metabolite names, drug names, genes / protein names, SwissProt IDs, GenBank IDs, Affymetrix IDs or Agilent microarray IDs. These queries will produce lists of matching pathways and highlight the matching molecules on each of the pathway diagrams. Gene, metabolite and protein concentration data can also be visualized through SMPDB''s mapping interface. All of SMPDB''s images, image maps, descriptions and tables are downloadable.

Information system that provides a network of concurring genes and proteins extends through the scientific literature touching on phenotypes, pathologies and gene function. It provides this network as a natural way of accessing millions of PubMed abstracts. By using genes and proteins as hyperlinks between sentences and abstracts, the information in PubMed can be converted into one navigable resource, bringing all advantages of the internet to scientific literature research. Moreover, this literature network can be superimposed on experimental interaction data (e.g., yeast-two hybrid data from Drosophila melanogaster and Caenorhabditis elegans) to make possible a simultaneous analysis of new and existing knowledge. The network contains half a million sentences and 30,000 different genes from humans, mice, D. melanogaster, C. elegans, zebrafish, Arabidopsis thaliana, yeast and Escherichia coli.

Centralized specimen archiving and molecular analysis facility that assists researchers wishing to undertake cohort-based projects in areas such HIV/AIDS, HCV infection or MRSA. Its aim is to make medical research easier, more efficient and faster to perform. The IDB collects valuable clinical samples from patients with infections who are attending their partner NHS-Trust clinics. Their core collections include blood samples from patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B (HBV) & hepatitis C (HCV) viruses or methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Blood samples are separated so that patients������?? DNA, plasmas (cell-free blood) and lymphocytes (white blood cells) can be frozen into a comprehensive library. Medical researchers can access complete sets of samples to answer important clinical questions, if their research project is approved by the IDB''s Management Committee. For this reason they are actively recruiting ''medically interesting'' patients who are infected with HIV, for example: those who remain well ������?? despite being infected for many years; others who are exposed to HIV but remain uninfected; others who develop AIDS very quickly; and, those who are in the process of sero-converting.
