Public database that stores areas of genome that differ between individual genomes (variants) and, where available, associated disease and phenotype information. Different types of variants for several species: single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), short nucleotide insertions and/or deletions, and longer variants classified as structural variants (including CNVs). Effects of variants on the Ensembl transcripts and regulatory features for each species are predicted. You can run same analysis on your own data using Variant Effect Predictor. These data are integrated with other data sources in Ensembl, and can be accessed using the API or website. For several different species in Ensembl, they import variation data (SNPs, CNVs, allele frequencies, genotypes, etc) from a variety of sources (e.g. dbSNP). Imported variants and alleles are subjected to quality control process to flag suspect data. In human, they calculate linkage disequilibrium for each variant, by population.

Database of human SNPs in predicted miRNA-mRNA binding sites, based on information from dbSNP135 and mirBASE18. MirSNP is highly sensitive and covers most experiments confirmed SNPs that affect miRNA function. MirSNP may be combined with researchers' own GWAS or eQTL positive data sets to identify the putative miRNA-related SNPs from traits/diseases associated variants. They aim to update the MirSNP database as new versions of mirBASE and dbSNP database become available.

Service to discover disease genes in GWAS using eQTL signature matching by simply submitting your list of GWAS associations (SNPs and p-values). It is important to upload all SNPs in your association study, not just the top hits. Sherlock may be able to group multiple lower-confidence SNPs to discover functionally-important genes.

Open source, platform-independent application for the visualization and analysis of complex, high-dimensional imaging data such as Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) and High Angular Resolution Diffusion Imaging (HARDI). It has a plugin-based architecture which allows third parties to develop new plugins to extend the tool. Overview of the many features: * vIST/e is programmed in C++. It uses the Visualization Toolkit for visualization and pipelined data processing, as well as the cross-platform toolkit Qt Framework for an easy-to-use Graphical User Interface. * vIST/e introduces a powerful new plugin system, which allows for modular development with increased extensibility and stability. * Powerful GPU-based visualization techniques allow for smooth, real-time visualization of large data sets. Using custom ray tracing algorithms created with OpenGL, vIST/e can render DTI ellipsoids and HARDI spherical harmonics glyphs up to 4th order. The high frame rates offered by modern GPU technology allows for interactive exploration of this complex data. * Diffusion Tensor Imaging data can be visualized and interactively explored in a number of ways, including multiple cross-sections, volume rendering, and tensor glyphs. Derived scalar volumes, including various different anisotropy measures, can be computed and visualized. Data from other modalities, such as structural MRI, can be shown alongside the DTI data. * Various fiber tracking methods allow for fast and accurate reconstruction of fiber pathways. Interactively defined Regions of Interest (ROIs) can be used for seeding and filtering of fibers. Fibers are visualized either as lines, optionally using a powerful, GPU-based lighting engine, or as 3D structures such as tubes. * Scalar volumes, glyphs, and fibers can be colored using a wide array of coloring option. Customizable color loop-up tables allow for highly flexible visualization of scalar data. * Visualization and processing of various different HARDI formats is supported. HARDI data is interactively visualized using highly detailed glyphs rendered on the GPU. HARDI glyphs can be visualized in combination with DTI glyphs, for a better overview of complex diffusion data. * vIST/e includes support for NVIDIA's Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA), which enables highly parallel, GPU-based data processing, allowing for significant speed-up of computationally expensive algorithms.

This R package has been submitted to R/bioconductor. It will be available on bioconductor soon. It is recommended to install this R package from bioconductor. You can also install this R package from the source code by yourself. Since the R package contains C code, a C complier is required for installation. With both R and appropriate c complier installed, this R package can be installed using the following command (in Mac Terminal window or Windows command window) R CMD INSTALL asSeq

A comprehensive transcription factor (TF) database in which they identified and classified all the genome-wide TFs in 50 sequenced animal genomes (Ensembl release version 60). In addition to TFs, it also collects transcription co-factors and chromatin remodeling factors of those genomes, which play regulatory roles in transcription. Here they defined the TFs as proteins containing a sequence-specific DNA-binding domain (DBD) and regulating target gene expression. Currently, the AnimalTFDB classifies all the animal TFs into 72 families according to their conserved DBDs. Gene lists of transcription factors, transcription co-factors and chromatin remodeling factors of each species are available for downloading., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 16,2025.

Web resource that provides data and tools for exploring genomic organization of highly conserved noncoding elements (HCNEs) for multiple genomes. It includes a genome browser that shows HCNE locations and features novel HCNE density plots as a powerful tool to discover developmental regulatory genes and distinguish their regulatory elements and domains. They identify HCNEs as non-exonic regions of high similarity between genome sequences from distantly related organisms, such as human and fish, and provide tools for studying the distribution of HCNEs along chromosomes. Major peaks of HCNE density along chromosomes most often coincide with developmental regulatory genes. Their aim with this site is to aid discovery of developmental regulatory genes, their regulatory domains and their fundamental regulatory elements.

Database of information on amphibian declines, natural history, conservation, and taxonomic information for every recognized species of amphibian in the world. Species accounts are being added regularly by specialists and volunteers and they contain species descriptions, life history information, conservation status, literature references, photos and range maps for many species. Some species have complete accounts; others as yet have only photographs or distributions. But all species can be queried for taxonomic, distributional and exact specimen data. AmphibiaWeb offers a powerful mapping tool by combining museum specimen data (via HerpNET) with expert opinion range maps (from Global Amphibian Assessment/IUCN) and overlaying these onto larger maps, allowing visualization in political, satellite, hybrid, or terrain map format. AmphibiaWeb currently (Aug 13, 2013) contains 7,160 species. They have 2,966 species accounts for 2,363 species, 6,517 literature references, 558 sound files, 109 video files, and 28,218 photos of 3,887 different amphibian species. These data come from numerous individuals--see acknowledgements. They have the ambitious goal of establishing a home page for every species of amphibian in the world. In order to accomplish this goal they encourage volunteers and specialists to help prepare species accounts. If you have special interest in a particular species, please contact them.
