A web-based tool that accepts as input a list of genes, and returns a list of GO attributes that are over- (or under-) represented among the genes in the input list. Only those over- (or under-) representations that are statistically significant, after correcting for multiple hypotheses testing, are reported. Currently 37 organisms are supported. In addition to the input list of genes, users may specify a) whether this list should be regarded as ordered or unordered; b) the universe of genes to be considered by FuncAssociate; c) whether to report over-, or under-represented attributes, or both; and d) the p-value cutoff. A new version of FuncAssociate supports a wider range of naming schemes for input genes, and uses more frequently updated GO associations. However, some features of the original version, such as sorting by LOD or the option to see the gene-attribute table, are not yet implemented. Platform: Online tool

This is a database of comparative protein structure models of MIP (Major Intrinsic Protein) family of proteins. The nearly completed sets of MIPs have been identified from the completed genome sequence of organisms available at NCBI. The structural models of MIP proteins were created by defined protocol. The database aims to provide key information of MIPs in particular based on sequence as well as structures. This will further help to decipher the function of uncharacterized MIPs. For each MIP entry, this database contains information about the source, gene structure, sequence features, substitutions in the conserved NPA motifs, structural model, the residues forming the selectivity filter and channel radius profile. For selected set of MIPs, it is possible to derive structure-based sequence alignment and evolutionary relationship. Sequences and structures of selected MIPs can be downloaded from MIPModDB database.

This is a topical portal dedicated to the communication of news, science, and information of interest to the brain mapping community, and to sharing and promoting the science of brain mapping. The purpose and goal of brain mapping is to advance the understanding of the relationship between structure and function in the human brain. Scientists in this field seek to gain knowledge of the physical processes that underly human sensation, attention, awareness and cognition. These results are immediately applicable to surgical intervention, to the design of medical interventions and to the treatment of psychological and psychiatric disorders.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on August 19,2019. Analyzing protein structure projection on exon-intron structure of corresponding gene through years led to several fundamental conclusions about structural and functional organization of the protein. According to these results we decided to map the protein functional sites. So we created the database SitEx that keep the information about this mapping and included the BLAST search and 3D similar structure search using PDB3DScan for the polypeptide encoded by one exon, participating in organizing the functional site. This will help: # to study the positions of the functional sites in exon structure; # to make the complex analysis of the protein function; # to exposure the exons that took part in exon shuffling and came from bacterial genomes; # to study the peculiarities of coding the polypeptide structures. Currently, SitEx contains information about 9994 functional sites presented in 2021 proteins described in proteomes of 17 organisms.

A set of simulation tools to generate synthetic next-generation sequencing reads. ART simulates sequencing reads by mimicking real sequencing process with empirical error models or quality profiles summarized from large recalibrated sequencing data. ART can also simulate reads using user own read error model or quality profiles. ART supports simulation of single-end, paired-end/mate-pair reads of three major commercial next-generation sequencing platforms: Illumina''''s Solexa, Roche''''s 454 and Applied Biosystems'''' SOLiD. ART can be used to test or benchmark a variety of method or tools for next-generation sequencing data analysis, including read alignment, de novo assembly, SNP and structure variation discovery. ART is implemented in C++ with optimized algorithms and is highly efficient in read simulation. ART outputs reads in the FASTQ format, and alignments in the ALN format. ART can also generate alignments in the SAM alignment or UCSC BED file format.

A system providing resolvable persistent Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs) used to identify data for the scientific community, with a current focus on the Life Sciences domain. The provision of resolvable identifiers (URLs) fits well with the Semantic Web vision, and the Linked Data initiative. It provides direct access to the identified data using one chosen physical location (or resource). If more than one physical locations providing the data are recorded in the Registry, then you can access them via the top banner or by using a profile.

A publicly accessible, relational database of G-proteins and their interactions with GPCRs and effector molecules. The sequences are classified according to a hierarchy of different classes, families and sub-families, based on extensive literature search. There is full sequence information with cross-references to publicly available databases, and the user may submit advanced queries for text search. Furthermore there is an interface for running BLAST against the database and a pattern search tool. The main innovation besides the classification of both G-proteins and GPCRs is the relational model of the database, describing the known coupling specificity of the GPCRs to their respective alpha subunit of G-proteins and also the interaction between G-protein subfamilies and specific effector types, a unique feature not available in any other database. The database will be very useful for the study of G-protein/GPCR and G-protein/effector interactions and for future development of algorithms predicting this interaction.

A tool for discovery and genotyping of transposable element variants (TEVs) (also known as mobile element insertions) from next-gen sequencing reads aligned to a reference genome in BAM format. The goal is to call TEVs that are not present in the reference genome but present in the sample that has been sequenced. It should be noted that RetroSeq can be used to locate any class of viral insertion in any species where whole-genome sequencing data with a suitable reference genome is available. RetroSeq is a two phase process, the first being the read pair discovery phase where discorandant mate pairs are detected and assigned to a TE class (Alu, SINE, LINE, etc.) by using either the annotated TE elements in the reference and/or aligned with Exonerate to the supplied library of viral sequences.

Natural Antisense Transcripts (NATs), a kind of regulatory RNAs, occur prevalently in plant genomes and play significant roles in physiological and/or pathological processes. PlantNATsDB (Plant Natural Antisense Transcripts DataBase) is a platform for annotating and discovering NATs by integrating various data sources involving approximately 2 million NAT pairs in 69 plant species. PlantNATsDB also provides an integrative, interactive and information-rich web graphical interface to display multidimensional data, and facilitate plant research community and the discovery of functional NATs. GO annotation and high-throughput small RNA sequencing data currently available were integrated to investigate the biological function of NATs. A ''''Gene Set Analysis'''' module based on GO annotation was designed to dig out the statistical significantly overrepresented GO categories from the specific NAT network. PlantNATsDB is currently the most comprehensive resource of NATs in the plant kingdom, which can serve as a reference database to investigate the regulatory function of NATs.
