BioPerl is a community effort to produce Perl code which is useful in biology. This toolkit of perl modules is useful in building bioinformatics solutions in Perl. It is built in an object-oriented manner so that many modules depend on each other to achieve a task. The collection of modules in the bioperl-live repository consist of the core of the functionality of bioperl. Additionally auxiliary modules for creating graphical interfaces (bioperl-gui), persistent storage in RDMBS (bioperl-db), running and parsing the results from hundreds of bioinformatics applications (Run package), software to automate bioinformatic analyses (bioperl-pipeline) are all available as Git modules in our repository. The BioPerl toolkit provides a library of hundreds of routines for processing sequence, annotation, alignment, and sequence analysis reports. It often serves as a bridge between different computational biology applications assisting the user to construct analysis pipelines. This chapter illustrates how BioPerl facilitates tasks such as writing scripts summarizing information from BLAST reports or extracting key annotation details from a GenBank sequence record. BioPerl includes modules written by Sohel Merchant of the GO Consortium for parsing and manipulating OBO ontologies. Platform: Windows compatible, Mac OS X compatible, Linux compatible, Unix compatible

http://pgfe.umassmed.edu/ffs/

Database of Drosophila transcription factor DNA binding specificity using the bacterial one-hybrid method, DNase I or SELEX methods. The database provides community access to recognition motifs and position weight matrices for transcription factors (TFs), including many unpublished motifs. Search tools and flat file downloads are provided to retrieve binding site information (as sequences, matrices and sequence logos) for individual TFs, groups of TFs or for all TFs with characterized binding specificities. Linked analysis tools allow users to identify motifs within the database that share similarity to a query matrix or to view the distribution of occurrences of an individual motif throughout the Drosophila genome. This database and its associated tools provide computational and experimental biologists with resources to predict interactions between Drosophila TFs and target cis-regulatory sequences.

http://sonorus.princeton.edu/hefalmp/

HEFalMp (Human Experimental/FunctionAL MaPper) is a tool developed by Curtis Huttenhower in Olga Troyanskaya's lab at Princeton University. It was created to allow interactive exploration of functional maps. Functional mapping analyzes portions of these networks related to user-specified groups of genes and biological processes and displays the results as probabilities (for individual genes), functional association p-values (for groups of genes), or graphically (as an interaction network). HEFalMp contains information from roughly 15,000 microarray conditions, over 15,000 publications on genetic and physical protein interactions, and several types of DNA and protein sequence analyses and allows the exploration of over 200 H. sapiens process-specific functional relationship networks, including a global, process-independent network capturing the most general functional relationships. Looking to download functional maps? Keep an eye on the bottom of each page of results: every functional map of any kind is generated with a Download link at the bottom right. Most functional maps are provided as tab-delimited text to simplify downstream processing; graphical interaction networks are provided as Support Vector Graphics files, which can be viewed using the Adobe Viewer, any recent version of Firefox, or the excellent open source Inkscape tool.

http://www.neuroepigenomics.org/methylomedb/

A database containing genome-wide brain DNA methylation profiles for human and mouse brains. The DNA methylation profiles were generated by Methylation Mapping Analysis by Paired-end Sequencing (Methyl-MAPS) method and analyzed by Methyl-Analyzer software package. The methylation profiles cover over 80% CpG dinucleotides in human and mouse brains in single-CpG resolution. The integrated genome browser (modified from UCSC Genome Browser allows users to browse DNA methylation profiles in specific genomic loci, to search specific methylation patterns, and to compare methylation patterns between individual samples. Two species were included in the Brain Methylome Database: human and mouse. Human postmortem brain samples were obtained from three distinct cortical regions, i.e., dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC), ventral prefrontal cortex (vPFC), and auditory cortex (AC). Human samples were selected from our postmortem brain collection with extensive neuropathological and psychopathological data, as well as brain toxicology reports. The Department of Psychiatry of Columbia University and the New York State Psychiatric Institute have assembled this brain collection, where a validated psychological autopsy method is used to generate Axis I and II DSM IV diagnoses and data are obtained on developmental history, history of psychiatric illness and treatment, and family history for each subject. The mouse sample (strain 129S6/SvEv) DNA was collected from the entire left cerebral hemisphere. The three human brain regions were selected because they have been implicated in the neuropathology of depression and schizophrenia. Within each cortical region, both disease and non-psychiatric samples have been profiled (matching subjects by age and sex in each group). Such careful matching of subjects allows one to perform a wide range of queries with the ability to characterize methylation features in non-psychiatric controls, as well as detect differentially methylated domains or features between disease and non-psychiatric samples. A total of 14 non-psychiatric, 9 schizophrenic, and 6 depression methylation profiles are included in the database.
