A comprehensive rice science database established in 2000 by rice researcher''s committee in Japan. The database is originally aimed to gather as much knowledge as possible ranging from classical rice genetics to recent genomics and from fundamental information to hot topics. The Oryzabase consists of five parts, (1) genetic resource stock information, (2) gene dictionary, (3) chromosome maps, (4) mutant images, and (5) fundamental knowledge of rice science. We are planning to do more extensive cross-referencing of Oryzabase to the major DNA sequence database, literature database and other plant databases in order to provide the wealth of information to rice researchers. We are calling for additional mutants and mapped gene information to incorporate into the Oryzabase. Newly identified mutants and mapped trait genes published in the scientific journals will be welcome to integrate into the Oryzabase maps.

OrthoMCL is a genome-scale algorithm for grouping orthologous protein sequences. It provides not only groups shared by two or more species/genomes, but also groups representing species-specific gene expansion families. OrthoMCL starts with reciprocal best hits within each genome as putative in-paralog/recent paralog pairs and reciprocal best hits across any two genomes as putative ortholog pairs. Related proteins are interlinked in a similarity graph. Then MCL (Markov Clustering algorithm,Van Dongen 2000; www.micans.org/mcl) is invoked to split mega-clusters. This process is analogous to the manual review in COG construction. MCL clustering is based on weights between each pair of proteins, so to correct for differences in evolutionary distance the weights are normalized before running MCL.

Database of organelle proteins, and subcellular structures / complexes from compiled protein localization data from organisms spanning the eukaryotic kingdom. All data may be downloaded as a tab-delimited text file and new localization data (and localization images, etc) for any organism relevant to the data sets currently contained in Organelle DB is welcomed. The data sets in Organelle DB encompass 138 organisms with emphasis on the major model systems: S. cerevisiae, A. thaliana, D. melanogaster, C. elegans, M. musculus, and human proteins as well. In particular, Organelle DB is a central repository of yeast protein localization data, incorporating results from both previous and current (ongoing) large-scale studies of protein localization in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In addition, we have manually curated several recent subcellular proteomic studies for incorporation in Organelle DB. In total, Organelle DB is a singular resource consolidating our knowledge of the protein composition of eukaryotic organelles and subcellular structures. When available, we have included terms from the Gene Ontologies: the cellular component, molecular function, and biological process fields are discussed more fully in GO. Additionally, when available, we have included fluorescent micrographs (principally of yeast cells) visualizing the described protein localization. Organelle View is a visualization tool for yeast protein localization. It is a visually engaging way for high school and undergraduate students to learn about genetics or for visually-inclined researchers to explore Organelle DB. By revealing the data through a colorful, dimensional model, we believe that different kinds of information will come to light.

Database of vertebrate olfactory receptors genes and proteins. It supports sequencing and analysis of these receptors by providing a comprehensive archive with search tools for this expanding family. The database also incorporates a broad range of chemosensory genes and proteins, including the taste papilla receptors (TPRs), vomeronasal organ receptors (VNRs), insect olfaction receptors (IORs), Caenorhabditis elegans chemosensory receptors (CeCRs), and fungal pheromone receptors (FPRs). ORDB currently houses chemosensory receptors for more than 50 organisms. ORDB contains public and private sections which provide tools for investigators to analyze the functions of these very large gene families of G protein-coupled receptors. It also provides links to a local cluster of databases of related information in SenseLab, and to other relevant databases worldwide. The database aims to house all of the known olfactory receptor and chemoreceptor sequences in both nucleotide and amino acid form and serves four main purposes: * It is a repository of olfactory receptor sequences. * It provides tools for sequence analysis. * It supports similarity searches (screens) which reduces duplicate work. * It provides links to other types of receptor information, e.g. 3D models. The database is accessible to two classes of users: * General public www users have full access to all the public sequences, models and resources in the database. * Source laboratories are the laboratories that clone olfactory receptors and submit sequences in the private or public database. They can search any sequence they deposited to the database against any private or public sequence in the database. This user level is suited for laboratories that are actively cloning olfactory receptors.

A database covering eight category functional interactions between noncoding RNAs (except tRNAs and rRNAs) and proteins related biomacromolecules (proteins, mRNAs and genomic DNAs) in six model organisms. Functional interactions imply both physical interactions between the ncRNA and protein, and other forms of interaction where the combination of an ncRNA and an mRNA or a genomic DNA sequence elicits a cellular reaction. This database is distinguished from other biomolecular interaction database by: 1. The data of NPInter is novel, in the sense that no earlier database has especially cataloged this type of data (ncRNA-protein interactions). The database now contains more than 700 published functional interactions from the six organisms E. coli, yeast, worm, fly, mouse and human in which functional interactions experiments have been concentrated. The amount of data is not large, but the NPInter covers almost all experimentally verified ncRNA functional interaction data which had been published before the end of last year. 2. The ncRNA functional interaction data are entered into NPInter only following publication in books or peer-reviewed journals. Entry is done manually by a curator, and thereafter double-checked by a second curator. 3. We introduce a classification of the functional interaction data, which is based on the functional interaction process the ncRNA takes part in. 4. NPInter also provides an efficient search option, allowing recovery of interactions, related publications and other information., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE.

A platform that includes a database of nonribosomal peptides together with tools for their analysis. Norine currently contains more than 1000 peptides. The name Norine stands for Nonribosomal peptides, with "ine" as a typical ending of peptide names. For each peptide, the database stores its structure as well as various annotations such as the biological activity, producing organisms, bibliographical references and others. The database can be queried in order to search for peptides through their annotations as well as through their monomeric structure. In the latter case, the user can specify either the whole structure or a structural pattern (possibly including "undefined monomers") of the searched peptide.
