http://www.dtp.nci.nih.gov

Portal for preclinical information and research materials, including web-accessible data and tools, NCI-60 Tumor Cell Line Screen, compounds in vials and plates, tumor cells, animals, and bulk drugs for investigational new drug (IND)-directed studies. DTP has been involved in the discovery or development of more than 70 percent of the anticancer therapeutics on the market today, and will continue helping the academic and private sectors to overcome various therapeutic development barriers, particularly through supporting high-risk projects and therapeutic development for rare cancers. Initially DTP made its drug discovery and development services and the results from the human tumor cell line assay publicly accessible to researchers worldwide. At first, the site offered in vitro human cell line data for a few thousand compounds and in vitro anti-HIV screening data for roughly 42,000 compounds. Today, visitors can find: * Downloadable in vitro human tumor cell line data for some 43,500 compounds and 15,000 natural product extracts * Results for 60,000 compounds evaluated in the yeast assay * In vivo animal model results for 30,000 compounds * 2-D and 3-D chemical structures for more than 200,000 compounds * Molecular target data, including characterizations for at least 1,200 targets, plus data from multiple cDNA microarray projects In addition to browsing DTP's databases and downloading data, researchers can request individual samples or sets of compounds on 96-well plates for research, or they can submit their own compounds for consideration for screening via DTP's online submission form. Once a compound is submitted for screening, researchers can follow its progress and retrieve data using a secure web interface. The NCI has collected information on almost half a million chemical structures in the past 50 years. DTP has made this information accessible and useful for investigators through its 3-D database, a collection of three-dimensional structures for more than 200,000 drugs. Investigators use the 3-D database to screen compounds for anticancer therapeutic activity. Also available on DTP's website are 127,000 connection tables for anticancer agents. A connection table is a convenient way of depicting molecular structures without relying on drawn chemical structures. As unique lists of atoms and their connections, the connection tables can be indexed and stored in computer databases where they can be used for patent searches, toxicology studies, and precursor searching, for example., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE.

https://code.google.com/p/sasqpcr/

All-in-one computer program for robust and rapid analysis of quantitative reverse transcription real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) data in SAS. It incorporates all functions important for RT-qPCR data analysis including assessment of PCR efficiencies, validation of internal reference genes and normalizers, normalization of confounding variations across samples and statistical comparisons of target gene expression in parallel samples. The program is highly automatic in data analyses and result output. The input data have no limitations for the number of genes or cDNA samples. Users can simply change the macro variables to test various analytical strategies, optimize results and customize the analytical processes. The program is also extendable allowing advanced SAS users to develop particular statistical tests appropriate for their experimental designs. Thus users are the actual decision-makers controlling RT-qPCR data analyses. The program has to be used in SAS software; however, extensive SAS programming knowledge is not required.

http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/ptw/

Software that aligns patterns, i.e. it aims to put corresponding features at the same locations. The algorithm searches for an optimal polynomial describing the warping. It is possible to align one sample to a reference, several samples to the same reference, or several samples to several references. One can choose between calculating individual warpings, or one global warping for a set of samples and one reference. Two optimization criteria are implemented: RMS (Root Mean Square error) and WCC (Weighted Cross Correlation).

https://code.google.com/p/gutentag/

An interactive, user-editable genetic sequence database tool, targeted at molecular biology research groups that can be browsed using tags. The tool is Web 2.0-flavoured, allowing users to do more than just retrieve information. Its focus on user-editability is supported by the use of tags (metadata) associated with genetic sequences. Several methods of retrieving stored data are available including tag-clouds, BLAST and keyword searches. Also, sequence tags related to HGNC gene names, conserved domains (CDD) and GO terms can be automatically generated given sequence data. The tool is constructed using the high-level Python web framework, Django, with a SQLite3 backend.

http://bodb.usc.edu/bodb/

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on January 4, 2023. BODB offers a way to document computational models of brain function by linking each model to Brain Operating Principles (BOPs), related brain regions, Summaries of Simulation Results (SSRs)and Summaries of Experimental Data (SEDs) used either to design or to test the model. Tools are provided to search for related models and to compare their coverage of SEDs. This allows automatic benchmarking of a model against a cluster of models addressing similar BOPs or SEDs or brain regions. Tools allow display of brain imaging results against a human brain applet; a new tool will link data to a macaque brain applet.

http://dip.doe-mbi.ucla.edu/

Database to catalog experimentally determined interactions between proteins combining information from a variety of sources to create a single, consistent set of protein-protein interactions that can be downloaded in a variety of formats. The data were curated, both, manually and also automatically using computational approaches that utilize the the knowledge about the protein-protein interaction networks extracted from the most reliable, core subset of the DIP data. Because the reliability of experimental evidence varies widely, methods of quality assessment have been developed and utilized to identify the most reliable subset of the interactions. This CORE set can be used as a reference when evaluating the reliability of high-throughput protein-protein interaction data sets, for development of prediction methods, as well as in the studies of the properties of protein interaction networks. Tools are available to analyze, visualize and integrate user's own experimental data with the information about protein-protein interactions available in the DIP database. The DIP database lists protein pairs that are known to interact with each other. By interact they mean that two amino acid chains were experimentally identified to bind to each other. The database lists such pairs to aid those studying a particular protein-protein interaction but also those investigating entire regulatory and signaling pathways as well as those studying the organization and complexity of the protein interaction network at the cellular level. Registration is required to gain access to most of the DIP features. Registration is free to the members of the academic community. Trial accounts for the commercial users are also available.

http://bibiserv.techfak.uni-bielefeld.de/dialign/

Tool for multiple sequence alignment using various sources of external information that is particularly useful to detect local homologies in sequences with low overall similarity. While standard alignment methods rely on comparing single residues and imposing gap penalties, DIALIGN constructs pairwise and multiple alignments by comparing entire segments of the sequences. No gap penalty is used. This approach can be used for both global and local alignment, but it is particularly successful in situations where sequences share only local homologies. Several versions of DIALIGN are available online at GOBICS, http://dialign.gobics.de/
