Profiling of Complex Functionality (ProfCom) is a web-based tool for the functional interpretation of a gene list that was identified to be related by experiments. A trait which makes ProfCom a unique tool is an ability to profile enrichments of not only available Gene Ontology (GO) terms but also of complex function. A complex function is constructed as Boolean combination of available GO terms. The complex functions inferred by ProfCom are more specific in comparison to single terms and describe more accurately the functional role of genes. Platform: Online tool

MMMDB, Mouse Multiple tissue Metabolome DataBase, is a freely available metabolomic database containing a collection of metabolites measured from multiple tissues from single mice. The datases are collected using a single instrument and not integrated from literatures, which is useful for capturing the holistic overview of large metabolomic pathway. Currently data from cerabra, cerebella, thymus, spleen, lung, liver, kidney, heart, pancreas, testis, and plasma are provided. Non-targeted analyses were performed by capillary electropherograms time-of-flight mass spectrometry (CE-TOFMS) and, therefore, both identified metabolites and unknown (without matched standard) peaks were uploaded to this database. Not only quantified concentration but also processed raw data such as electropherogram, mass spectrometry, and annotation (such as isotope and fragment) are provided.

Centrally curated inventory of digitally reconstructed neurons associated with peer-reviewed publications that contains some of the most complete axonal arborizations digitally available in the community. Each neuron is represented by a unique identifier, general information (metadata), the original and standardized ASCII files of the digital morphological reconstruction, and a set of morphometric features. It contains contributions from over 100 laboratories worldwide and is continuously updated as new morphological reconstructions are collected, published, and shared. Users may browse by species, brain region, cell type or lab name. Users can also download morphological reconstructions for research and analysis. Deposition and distribution of reconstruction files ultimately prevents data loss. Centralized curation and annotation aims at minimizing the effort required by data owners while ensuring a unified format. It also provides a one-stop entry point for all available reconstructions, thus maximizing data visibility and impact.

Curated database of experimentally supported data of RNA Splicing mutation and disease. The RNA Splicing mutations include cis-acting mutations that disrupt splicing and trans-acting mutations that affecting RNA-dependent functions that cause disease. Information such as EntrezGeneID, gene genomic sequence, mutation (nucleotide substitutions, deletions and insertions), mutation location within the gene, organism, detailed description of the splicing mutation and references are also given. Users are able to submit new entries to the database. This database integrating RNA splicing and disease associations would be helpful for understanding not only the RNA splicing but also its contribution to disease. In SpliceDisease database, they manually curated 2337 splicing mutation disease entries involving 303 genes and 370 diseases, which have been supported experimentally in 898 publications. The SpliceDisease database provides information including the change of the nucleotide in the sequence, the location of the mutation on the gene, the reference PubMed ID and detailed description for the relationship among gene mutations, splicing defects and diseases. They standardized the names of the diseases and genes and provided links for these genes to NCBI and UCSC genome browser for further annotation and genomic sequences. For the location of the mutation, they give direct links of the entry to the respective position/region in the genome browser.

A powerful toolset for genome arithmetic allowing one to address common genomics tasks such as finding feature overlaps and computing coverage. Bedtools allows one to intersect, merge, count, complement, and shuffle genomic intervals from multiple files in widely-used genomic file formats such as BAM, BED, GFF/GTF, VCF. While each individual tool is designed to do a relatively simple task (e.g., intersect two interval files), quite sophisticated analyses can be conducted by combining multiple bedtools operations on the UNIX command line.

Global registry of research data repositories from all academic disciplines that allows the easy identification of appropriate research data repositories, both for data producers and users. Information icons display principal attributes of a repository that can be used for multi-faceted searches. Repository operators can suggest their infrastructures to be listed via a simple application form. A repository is indexed when the minimum requirements are met, i.e. mode of access to the data and repository, as well as the terms of use.

Software that automates the creation of uniform, two-dimensional, high analysis graphical images/models of alpha-helical or beta-barrel transmembrane proteins. Protein sequence data and structural information may be acquired from public protein knowledge bases, emanate from prediction algorithms, or even be defined by the user. Several important biological and physical sequence attributes can be embedded in the graphical representation. The application has been written using the platform independent Java language by Sun Microsystems. The implementation is likely to encapsulate the Applet and JavaBean technology. Consequently, the tool, apart from standalone application, may be used as an applet or even embedded in a web-server. Thus, it can serve to exhibit transmembrane protein schematic models in web pages. Requirements for the stand-alone application: Java Runtime Environment 1.4.x The source code is available to any interested party, upon request from the authors.

Unix-like operating system that is free software. GNU (more precisely, GNU/Linux systems) are entirely free software. The GNU Project was launched in 1984 to develop the GNU system. A Unix-like operating system is a software collection of applications, libraries, and developer tools, plus a program to allocate resources and talk to the hardware, known as a kernel. The Hurd, GNU''s own kernel, is some way from being ready for daily use. Thus, GNU is typically used today with a kernel called Linux. This combination is the GNU/Linux operating system. GNU/Linux is used by millions, though many call it Linux by mistake.

STEPS is a package for exact stochastic simulation of reaction-diffusion systems in realistic, complex 3D geometries. Our core simulation algorithm is an efficient implementation of a variation on Gillespie''s SSA, extended to deal with diffusion of molecules over the elements of a 3D tetrahedral mesh. While it was mainly developed for simulating detailed models of neuronal signaling pathways in dendrites and around synapses, it is a general tool and can be used for studying any biochemical pathway in which spatial gradients and morphology are thought to play a role. We have implemented STEPS as a set of Python modules, which means STEPS users can use Python scripts to control all aspects of setting up the model, generating a mesh, controlling the simulation and generating and analyzing output. The core computational routines are still implemented as C/C++ extension modules for maximal speed of execution.

Graduate School of Genome Science and Technology (GST) is a Life Science graduate program founded on two premises. First, whole-genome sequences and related large-scale datasets have transformed how we perform biological research, a trend that is gathering momentum and is anticipated to frame the way the biology research is accomplished for many years to come. Second, advances in technology, whether at the level of instrumentation, computation, or wet lab reagents, have long been a powerful driving force in biology. The GST program is home to faculty mentors from many walks of life. The virulence factors of pathogenic fungi and the engineering of photosynthetic reaction complexes for bioenergy harvesting are just two examples from the cornucopia of research projects being pursued in GST.
