An overview of HIV and SIV vaccine trials and their outcomes. It was developed as a tool for compilation, search and comparison of published studies on SIV, HIV and SHIV vaccine trials in nonhuman primates. We used a set of criteria to scan Pubmed for relevant studies to enter into the database. In selecting studies for entry, priority was given to recently published studies in journals generally regarded as the primary source of information pertaining to HIV and SIV vaccine research in nonhuman primates. In most cases, we give priority to challenge studies, where the animals received a live virus to measure the "efficacy" of the immunogen(s) inoculated during the course of the investigation. The HIV Sequence Database focuses on five primary goals: *Collecting HIV and SIV sequence data (all sequences since 1987) *Curating and annotating this data, and making it available to the scientific community *Computer analysis of HIV and related sequences *Production of software for the analysis of (sequence) data *Publication of the data and analyses on this site and in a yearly printed publication, the HIV sequence Compendium, which is available free of charge

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on October 28,2025. Tool that integrates phenotype, gene function, and disease information with personal genomic data for improved power to identify disease-causing alleles. It works by combining knowledge resident in multiple biomedical ontologies with the outputs of variant prioritization tools. It does so using an algorithm that propagates information across and between ontologies. This process enables Phevor to accurately reprioritize potentially damaging alleles identified by variant prioritization tools in light of gene function, disease, and phenotype knowledge. Phevor is especially useful for single exome and family trio-based diagnostic analyses, the most commonly occurring clinical scenarios, and ones for which existing personal-genomes diagnostic tools are most inaccurate and underpowered. Phevor not only improves diagnostic accuracy for individuals presenting with established disease phenotypes, but also for those with previously undescribed and atypical disease presentations. Importantly, Phevor is not limited to known diseases, or known disease-causing alleles.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented August 23, 2016. The project aims to apply genome mapping research to sheep, utilizing previous research in sheep (in other countries) and in other species (in the UK and abroad) to the benefit of the UK sheep industry. The project itself uses existing breeding structures, knowledge of the sheep genome and experimental resources. It has three main aims: i) To use the Suffolk, Texel and Charollais Sire Referencing Schemes to detect and verify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for growth and carcass composition traits ii) To investigate candidate genes and/or chromosomal regions for associations with production traits. iii) To investigate approaches for optimizing future genotyping strategies within the sire referencing schemes for practical and cost effective application of marker-assisted selection By using commercial breeding populations for the research, immediate application of beneficial results is possible. Potential benefits include increased genetic progress through marker assisted selection which utilizes the genotype information, correction of possible parentage errors (ultimately leading to additional genetic progress) and opportunities for using marker information for product certification. The project will benefit the UK sheep industry by the use of Marker Assisted Selection (MAS) utilizing QTL or gene variants identified in the project. Additional benefits may arise from parentage verification and correction of errors e.g. misallocation of lamb to ewe. In the longer term, opportunities may exist to use markers for quality control, tracing products to their source. The major advantage of the design of this project is that the results are immediately applicable to the breeding schemes within which the QTLs and/or genes are detected. The time lag in the application of the results that is often seen with experimental populations is minimized. The project requires close involvement with the Sire Reference Schemes, in return for their assistance the results have immediate benefit to animals within these groups.

Rice Genome Research Program (RGP) is an integral part of the Japanese Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) Genome Research Project. RGP now aims to completely sequence the entire rice genome and subsequently to pursue integrated goals in functional genomics, genome informatics and applied genomics. It is jointly coordinated by the National Institute of Agrobiological Sciences (NIAS), a government research institute under MAFF and the Society for Techno-innovation of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (STAFF), a semi-private research organization managed and supported by MAFF and a consortium of some twenty Japanese companies. The research is funded with yearly grants from MAFF and additional funds from the Japan Racing Association (JRA). It is now the leading member of the International Rice Genome Sequencing Project (IRGSP), a consortium of ten countries sharing the sequencing of the 12 rice chromosomes. The IRGSP adopts the clone-by-clone shotgun sequencing strategy so that each sequenced clone can be associated with a specific position on the genetic map and adheres to the policy of immediate release of the sequence data to the public domain. In December 2004, the IRGSP completed the sequencing of the rice genome. The high-quality and map-based sequence of the entire genome is now available in public databases.

The Rat Genome Program was launched after the National Institutes of Health (NIH) realized the potential of rat models in understanding basic biology and human health and disease. The purpose of this NIH Rat Genomics and Genetics web site is to serve as a central point for information on NIH sponsored and related rat genetic and genomic activities and resources. It will provide information on: the follow up to recommendations made to the NIH; funding opportunities for rat genomic and genetic tools and resources; major rat genomic resources available and/or produced in response to the NIH Rat Program; courses and meetings related to rat genomics and genetics; and selected reports and publications. These programs have produced a wide variety of resources and a way to link and capitalize upon the data and resources of other model organisms and the human. In conjunction with and in addition to these programs, the NIH, through the RGWG, has convened advisory groups and workshops to discuss the opportunities that rat models offer and provide recommendations on the investments that are needed to capitalize on these opportunities.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on October 28,2025. These databases were constructed by extracting the organism specific ESTs from dbEST, removing polyA sequences from the ends and trimming 5' and 3' regions with greater than 25% N's in a 20 base pair window. These quality sequences were then aligned using the cap2 program and the consensus sequences thus generated put into a database that is available on the web. A number of parasitic organisms were chosen that have between 3000 and 15000 ESTs. The attempt here is to provide useful information and analyses to the scientific community without curating the results in any way. A total of 55192 ESTs, deposited into dbEST/GenBank, were included in the analyses. The resulting sequences have been clustered into nonredundant gene assemblies and deposited into a relational database that supports a variety of sequence and text searches. This database has been used to compare the gene assemblies using BLAST similarity comparisons to the public protein databases to identify putative genes. Of these new entries, approximately 15%-20% represent putative homologs with a conservative cutoff of p &lt; 10(-9), thus identifying many conserved genes that are likely to share common functions with other well-studied organisms. Gene assemblies were also used to identify strain polymorphisms, examine stage-specific expression, and identify gene families. An interesting class of genes that are confined to members of this phylum and not shared by plants, animals, or fungi, was identified. These genes likely mediate the novel biological features of members of the Apicomplexa and hence offer great potential for biological investigation and as possible therapeutic targets.

The Dog Genome Project at the National Human Genome Research Institute is working to develop resources necessary to map and clone canine genes in an effort to utilize dogs as a model system for genetics and cancer research. The US National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) agreed to fund a project to sequence the entire genome of a boxer dog named Tasha, because it recognized the value of the dog as an unrivaled model for the study of human disease. The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) led the National Institutes of Health's (NIH) contribution to the International Human Genome Project, which had as its primary goal the sequencing of the human genome. This project was successfully completed in April 2003. Now, the NHGRI's mission has expanded to encompass a broad range of studies aimed at understanding the structure and function of the human genome and its role in health and disease. To that end NHGRI supports the development of resources and technology that will accelerate genome research and its application to human health. A critical part of the NHGRI mission continues to be the study of the ethical, legal and social implications (ELSI) of genome research. NHGRI also supports the training of investigators and the dissemination of genome information to the public and to health professionals.
