The TIGR database is a collection of plant transcript sequences. Transcript assemblies are searchable using BLAST and accession number. The construction of plant transcript assemblies (TAs) is similar to the TIGR gene indices. The sequences that are used to build the plant TAs are expressed transcripts collected from dbEST (ESTs) and the NCBI GenBank nucleotide database (full length and partial cDNAs). "Virtual" transcript sequences derived from whole genome annotation projects are not included. All plant species for which more than 1,000 ESTs or cDNA sequences are available are included in this project. TAs are clustered and assembled using the TGICL tool (Pertea et al., 2003), Megablast (Zhang et al., 2000) and the CAP3 assembler (Huang and Madan, 1999). TGICL is a wrapper script which invokes Megablast and CAP3. Sequences are initially clustered based on an all-against-all comparisons using Megablast. The initial clusters are assembled to generate consensus sequences using CAP3. Assembly criteria include a 50 bp minimum match, 95% minimum identity in the overlap region and 20 bp maximum unmatched overhangs. Any EST/cDNA sequences that are not assembled into TAs are included as singletons. All singletons retain their GenBank accession numbers as identifiers. Plant TA identifiers are of the form TAnumber_taxonID, where number is a unique numerical identifier of the transcript assembly and taxonID represents the NCBI taxon id. In order to provide annotation for the TAs, each TA/singleton was aligned to the UniProt Uniref database. For release 1 TAs, a masked version of the Uniref90 database was used. For release 2 and onwards, a masked version of the UniRef100 database is used. Alignments were required to have at least 20% identity and 20% coverage. The annotation for the protein with the best alignment to each TA or singleton was used as the annotation for that sequence. Additionally, the relative orientation of each TA/singleton to the best matching protein sequence was used to determine the orientation of each TA/singleton. Some sequences did not have alignments to the protein database that met our quality criteria, and those sequences have neither annotation nor orientation assignments. The release number for the plant TAs refers to the release version for a particular species. For the initial build, all TA sets are of version 1. Subsequent TA updates for new releases will be carried out when the percentage increase of the EST and cDNA counts exceeds 10% of the previous release and when the increase contains more than 1,000 new sequences. New releases will also include additional plant species with more than 1,000 EST or cDNA sequences that have become publicly available.

http://www.tigr.org/tdb/e2k1/plant.repeats

It assists in the compilation and identification of repeat sequences in plant genomes. All of the repetitive sequences in the database are coded for the convenience of future analyses. In plants, ploidy levels and repetitive sequences contribute significantly to genome size. A number of different repetitive sequences have been reported in the plant genome and these can be classified into super-classes, classes, and subclasses based on structure and sequence composition. The transposable element (TEs) super-class includes retrotransposons, transposons, and miniature inverted-repeat transposable elements (MITEs). Other repetitive sequences are associated the centromere and telomere. Another super-class of repetitive sequences are rDNAs which encode the structural RNA components of ribosomes.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on July 16, 2013. UCbase & miRfunc is a database of (i) human, mouse and rat microRNAs and (ii) Ultraconserved elements providing information about function, expression and correlation between these classes of non-coding RNAs and the disorders related to their aberrant expression. The genomics interface allows the user to explore where whole-genome collections of miRNAs and UCRs are located with respect to annotation sets such as band, disorders and known genes. The Blast interface provides a web tool for matching miRNAs/UCRs elements against any given sequence and providing specific functional information on the results. 481 Ultraconserved sequences (UCRs) longer than 200 bases were discovered in the genomes of human, mouse and rat. These are DNA sequences showing 100 percent identity among the human, mouse and rat genomes. UCRs are frequently located at genomic regions involved in cancer, differentially expressed in human leukemias and carcinomas and in some instances regulated by microRNAs (miRNAs), the most extensively studied category of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs). Here we present the first database which links UCRs and miRNAs with the related human disorders and genomic properties.

This database is intended as a comprehensive resource for UTR (Untranslated Region) biology in C. elegans. The database provides detailed information on UTR structures for all protein-coding mRNAs, and includes annotations extracted from other databases (such as WormBase and PicTar) as well as new annotations generated as part of the NYU UTRome project (including preliminary characterization of UTR clones, USTs (UTR sequence tags), curated sequences, and computational and experimental analysis of functional elements). Examples of functional elements within UTRs include predicted and validated microRNA (miRNA) binding sites (responsible for post-transcriptional gene regulation), putative consensus signals for polyA addition, and predicted secondary structures (which may influence the biological activity of UTRs). The UTRome project is part of the ModEncode Consortium, an NIH initiative to characterize at a genomic scale functional sequence elements encoded in the worm (C. elegans) and fly (D. melanogaster) genomes. UTRs are important portions of mRNAs required for post-transcriptional regulation by interacting with proteins or non-coding RNAs (e.g. microRNAs). To study the role of UTRs we are building a UTR database for C. elegans.

http://cossmos.slu.edu/

Database to search through the nucleic acid structures from the Protein Data Bank and examine structural motifs, including (a)symmetric internal loops, bulge loops, and hairpin loops. They have compiled over 2,000 three-dimensional structures, which can now be searched using different parameters, including PDB information, experimental technique, sequence, and motif type. RNA secondary structure is important for designing therapeutics, understanding protein-RNA binding and predicting tertiary structure of RNA. Several databases and downloadable programs exist that specialize in the three-dimensional (3D) structure of RNA, but none focus specifically on secondary structural motifs such as internal, bulge and hairpin loops. To create the RNA CoSSMos database, 2156 Protein Data Bank (PDB) files were searched for internal, bulge and hairpin loops, and each loop''''s structural information, including sugar pucker, glycosidic linkage, hydrogen bonding patterns and stacking interactions, was included in the database. False positives were defined, identified and reclassified or omitted from the database to ensure the most accurate results possible. Users can search via general PDB information, experimental parameters, sequence and specific motif and by specific structural parameters in the subquery page after the initial search. Returned results for each search can be viewed individually or a complete set can be downloaded into a spreadsheet to allow for easy comparison. The RNA CoSSMos database is updated weekly.

http://nmr.cmbi.ru.nl/NRG-CING/HTML/index.html

NRG-CING presents a complete validation report for all 9,000+ wwPDB NMR entries including remediated experimental data such as chemical shifts from BMRB and restraints from NRG . These CING reports are compiled from internal analyses and those by CCPN, DSSP, PROCHECK-NMR/Aqua, ShiftX, Talos+, Vasco, Wattos, and WHAT_CHECK. The NRG-CING website is a collection of CING reports that has been pre-calculated for all PDB files solved by NMR. (See website for more information on CING.) In case the underlying experimental data is available, these have been cleaned up and made syntactically and semantically correct and homogeneous. For many macromolecular NMR ensembles from the Protein Data Bank (PDB) the experiment-based restraint lists used in the structure calculation are accessible, while other experimental data, mainly chemical shift values, are often available from the BioMagResBank. Assessment of the quality of the structural result is paramount to their usage and a combined, integrated repository of both input data and structural results greatly facilitates such an analysis. In addition, the accuracy and precision of the coordinates in these macromolecular NMR ensembles can be improved by recalculations using the available experimental data and present-day software with improved protocols and force fields. Such efforts, however, generally fail on over half of all deposited structures due to the syntactic and semantic heterogeneity of the data and the wide variety of formats used for their deposition. We have combined the cleaned-up restraints information from the NMR Restraints Grid (NRG) database with available chemical shifts from the BioMagResBank in the weekly updated NRG-CING database. Eleven programs, in addition to CING itself, have been included in the NRG-CING production pipeline to arrive at validation reports that list for each entry the potential inconsistencies between the coordinates and the available restraint and chemical shift data. The longitudinal validation of this data yielded a set of indicators that can be used to judge the quality of every macromolecular structure solved with NMR. The cleaned up NMR experimental datasets and the validation reports are freely available.

ProPortal is a database containing genomic, metagenomic, transcriptomic and field data for the marine cyanobacterium Prochlorococcus. Our goal is to provide a source of cross-referenced data across multiple scales of biological organization--from the genome to the ecosystem--embracing the full diversity of ecotypic variation within this microbial taxon, its sister group, Synechococcus and phage that infect them. The site currently contains the genomes of 13 Prochlorococcus strains, 11 Synechococcus strains and 28 cyanophage strains that infect one or both groups. Cyanobacterial and cyanophage genes are clustered into orthologous groups that can be accessed by keyword search or through a genome browser. Users can also identify orthologous gene clusters shared by cyanobacterial and cyanophage genomes. Gene expression data for Prochlorococcus ecotypes MED4 and MIT9313 allow users to identify genes that are up or downregulated in response to environmental stressors. In addition, the transcriptome in synchronized cells grown on a 24-h light-dark cycle reveals the choreography of gene expression in cells in a ''natural'' state. Metagenomic sequences from the Global Ocean Survey from Prochlorococcus, Synechococcus and phage genomes are archived so users can examine the differences between populations from diverse habitats. Finally, an example of cyanobacterial population data from the field is included.

This database presents the entire DNA sequence of the first diploid genome sequence of a Han Chinese, a representative of Asian population. The genome, named as YH, represents the start of YanHuang Project, which aims to sequence 100 Chinese individuals in 3 years. It was assembled based on 3.3 billion reads (117.7Gbp raw data) generated by Illumina Genome Analyzer. In total of 102.9Gbp nucleotides were mapped onto the NCBI human reference genome (Build 36) by self-developed software SOAP (Short Oligonucleotide Alignment Program), and 3.07 million SNPs were identified. The personal genome data is illustrated in a MapView, which is powered by GBrowse. A new module was developed to browse large-scale short reads alignment. This module enabled users track detailed divergences between consensus and sequencing reads. In total of 53,643 HGMD recorders were used to screen YH SNPs to retrieve phenotype related information, to superficially explain the donor's genome. Blast service to align query sequences against YH genome consensus was also provided.
