LexGrid (Lexical Grid) provides support for a distributed network of lexical resources such as terminologies and ontologies via standards-based tools, storage formats, and access/update mechanisms. The Lexical Grid Vision is for a distributed network of terminological resources. It is the foundation of the National Center for Biomedical Ontology BioPortal interface and web-services, and can parse OBO format, as well as other formats such as OWL. Currently, there are many terminologies and ontologies in existence. Just about every terminology has its own format, its own set of tools, and its own update mechanisms. The only thing that most of these pieces have in common with each other is their incompatibility. This makes it very hard to use these resources to their full potential. We have designed the Lexical Grid as a way to bridge terminologies and ontologies with a common set of tools, formats and update mechanisms. The Lexical Grid is: * accessible through a set of common APIs * joined through shared indices * online accessible * downloadable * loosely coupled * locally extendable * globally revised * available in web-space on web-time * cross-linked The realization of this vision requires three interlocking components, which are: * Standards - access methods and formats need to be published and openly available * Tools - standards based tools must be readily available * Content - commonly used terminologies have to be available for access and download Platform: Windows compatible, Mac OS X compatible, Linux compatible, Unix compatible

https://compbio.dfci.harvard.edu/predictivenetworks//
A flexible, open-source, web-based application and data services framework that enables the integration, navigation, visualization and analysis of gene interaction networks. The primary goal of PN is to allow biomedical researchers to evaluate experimentally derived gene lists in the context of large-scale gene interaction networks. The PN analytical pipeline involves two key steps. The first is the collection of a comprehensive set of known gene interactions derived from a variety of publicly available sources. The second is to use these ''known'' interactions together with gene expression data to infer robust gene networks. The regression-based network inference algorithm creates a graph of gene interactions in which cycles may be present (but no self-loops). Based on information-theoretic techniques, a causal gene interaction network is inferred from both prior knowledge (interactions extracted from biomedical literature and structured biological databases) and gene expression data. A prediction model is fitted for each gene, given its parents, enabling assessment of the predictive ability of the network model.

Database of mouse strains and stocks available worldwide, that will assist international research community in finding mouse resources they need, including inbred, mutant, and genetically engineered mice. IMSR is multi institutional international collaboration supporting use of mouse as model system for studying human biology and disease. IMSR began with initial collaboration between Mouse Genome Informatics (MGI) group at Jackson Laboratory and Medical Research Council Mammalian Genetics Unit at Harwell. Additional institutions and collaborators are now contributing mouse resource information to IMSR. Data content found in IMSR is as it was supplied by data provider sites. You are encouraged to participate in making this database as complete as possible for all worldwide mouse strain resources. If you or your institution hold mice, cryopreserved gametes or embryos, or ES cell lines that you distribute to other researchers, contributing information about them to IMSR catalog will make them more widely known.
