Online access (html or xml) to structural connectivity ("wiring") data on the Macaque brain. The database has become by far the largest of its kind, with data extracted from more than four hundred published tracing studies. The main database, contains data from tracing studies on anatomical connectivity in the macaque cerebral cortex. Also available are a variety of tools including a graphical simulation workbench, map displays and the CoCoMac-Paxinos-3D viewer. Submissions are welcome. To overcome the problem of divergent brain maps ORT (Objective Relational Transformation) was developed, an algorithmic method to convert data in a coordinate- independent way based on logical relations between areas in different brain maps. CoCoMac data is used to analyze the organization of the cerebral cortex, and to establish its structure- function relationships. This includes multi-variate statistics and computer simulation of models that take into account the real anatomy of the primate cerebral cortex. This site * Provides full, scriptable open access to the data in CoCoMac (you must adhere to the citation policy) * Powers the graphical interface to CoCoMac provided by the Scalable Brain Atlas * Sports an extensive search/browse wizard, which automatically constructs complex search queries and lets you further explore the database from the results page. * Allows you to get your hands dirty, by using the custom SQL query service. * Displays connectivity data in tabular form, through the axonal projections service. CoCoMac 2 was initiated at the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour, and is currently supported by the German neuroinformatics node and the Computational and Systems Neuroscience group at the Juelich research institute.

http://www.hipsci.org/

A UK national induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cell resource that will create and characterize more than 1000 human iPSCs from healthy and diseased tissue for use in cellular genetic studies. Between 2013 and 2016 they aim to generate iPS cells from over 500 healthy individuals and 500 individuals with genetic disease. They will then use these cells to discover how genomic variation impacts on cellular phenotype and identify new disease mechanisms. Strong links with NHS investigators will ensure that studies on the disease-associated cell lines will be linked to extensive clinical information. Further key features of the project are an open access model of data sharing; engagement of the wider clinical genetics community in selecting patient samples; and provision of dedicated laboratory space for collaborative cell phenotyping and differentiation.

http://cancer.sanger.ac.uk/cancergenome/projects/cosmic/

Database to store and display somatic mutation information and related details and contains information relating to human cancers. The mutation data and associated information is extracted from the primary literature. In order to provide a consistent view of the data a histology and tissue ontology has been created and all mutations are mapped to a single version of each gene. The data can be queried by tissue, histology or gene and displayed as a graph, as a table or exported in various formats.
Some key features of COSMIC are:
* Contains information on publications, samples and mutations. Includes samples which have been found to be negative for mutations during screening therefore enabling frequency data to be calculated for mutations in different genes in different cancer types.
* Samples entered include benign neoplasms and other benign proliferations, in situ and invasive tumours, recurrences, metastases and cancer cell lines.

http://pfam.xfam.org/

A database of protein families, each represented by multiple sequence alignments and hidden Markov models (HMMs). Users can analyze protein sequences for Pfam matches, view Pfam family annotation and alignments, see groups of related families, look at the domain organization of a protein sequence, find the domains on a PDB structure, and query Pfam by keywords. There are two components to Pfam: Pfam-A and Pfam-B. Pfam-A entries are high quality, manually curated families that may automatically generate a supplement using the ADDA database. These automatically generated entries are called Pfam-B. Although of lower quality, Pfam-B families can be useful for identifying functionally conserved regions when no Pfam-A entries are found. Pfam also generates higher-level groupings of related families, known as clans (collections of Pfam-A entries which are related by similarity of sequence, structure or profile-HMM).

http://old.genedb.org/genedb/pombe/index.jsp

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE documented June 6, 2013 Database of all S. pombe (fission yeast) known and predicted protein coding genes, pseudogenes, transposons, tRNAs, rRNAs, snRNAs, snoRNAs and other known and predicted non-coding RNAs. Curation of new and existing literature is ongoing and changes are incorporated weekly. User feedback is welcome. The genome of fission yeast (Schizosaccharomyces pombe), which contains the smallest number of protein-coding genes yet recorded for a eukaryote: 4,824, has been sequenced and annotated. The centromeres are between 35 and 110 kilobases (kb) and contain related repeats including a highly conserved 1.8-kb element. Regions upstream of genes are longer than in budding yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), possibly reflecting more-extended control regions. Some 43% of the genes contain introns, of which there are 4,730. Fifty genes have significant similarity with human disease genes; half of these are cancer related. We identify highly conserved genes important for eukaryotic cell organization including those required for the cytoskeleton, compartmentation, cell-cycle control, proteolysis, protein phosphorylation and RNA splicing. These genes may have originated with the appearance of eukaryotic life. Few similarly conserved genes that are important for multicellular organization were identified, suggesting that the transition from prokaryotes to eukaryotes required more new genes than did the transition from unicellular to multicellular organization.

http://www.compbio.dundee.ac.uk/gotcha/gotcha.php

GOtcha provides a prediction of a set of GO terms that can be associated with a given query sequence. Each term is scored independently and the scores calibrated against reference searches to give an accurate percentage likelihood of correctness. These results can be displayed graphically. Why is GOtcha different to what is already out there and why should you be using it? * GOtcha uses a method where it combines information from many search hits, up to and including E-values that are normally discarded. This gives much better sensitivity than other methods. * GOtcha provides a score for each individual term, not just the leaf term or branch. This allows the discrimination between confident assignments that one would find at a more general level and the more specific terms that one would have lower confidence in. * The scores GOtcha provides are calibrated to give a real estimate of correctness. This is expressed as a percentage, giving a result that non-experts are comfortable in interpreting. * GOtcha provides graphical output that gives an overview of the confidence in, or potential alternatives for, particular GO term assignments. The tool is currently web-based; contact David Martin for details of the standalone version. Platform: Online tool

http://www.ebi.ac.uk/thornton-srv/databases/FunTree/

FunTree provides a range of data resources to detect the evolution of enzyme function within distant structurally related clusters within domain super families as determined by CATH. To access the resource enter a specific CATH superfamily code or search for a structure / sequence / function (either via a EC code or KEGG ligand / reaction ID, PDB ID or UniProtKB ID). Or browse the resource via superfamily / function / structure / metabolites & reactions via the menu on the left panel. FunTree is a new resource that brings together sequence, structure, phylogenetic, chemical and mechanistic information for structurally defined enzyme superfamilies. Gathering together this range of data into a single resource allows the investigation of how novel enzyme functions have evolved within a structurally defined superfamily as well as providing a means to analyse trends across many superfamilies. This is done not only within the context of an enzyme''''s sequence and structure but also the relationships of their reactions. Developed in tandem with the CATH database, it currently comprises 276 superfamilies covering 1800 (70%) of sequence assigned enzyme reactions. Central to the resource are phylogenetic trees generated from structurally informed multiple sequence alignments using both domain structural alignments supplemented with domain sequences and whole sequence alignments based on commonality of multi-domain architectures. These trees are decorated with functional annotations such as metabolite similarity as well as annotations from manually curated resources such the catalytic site atlas and MACiE for enzyme mechanisms.

http://www.genedb.org/Homepage/Pfalciparum

Database of the most recent sequence updates and annotations for the P. falciparum genome. New annotations are constantly being added to keep up with published manuscripts and feedback from the Plasmodium research community. You may search by Protein Length, Molecular Mass, Gene Type, Date, Location, Protein Targeting, Transmembrane Helices, Product, GO, EC, Pfam ID, Curation and Comments, and Dbxrefs. BLAST and other tools are available. The P. falciparum 3D7 nuclear genome is 23.3 Mb in size, with a karyotype of 14 chromosomes. The G+C content is approximately 19%. The P. falciparum genome is undergoing re-annotation. This process started in October 2007 with a weeklong workshop co-organized by staff from the Wellcome Trust Sanger Intistute and the EuPathDB team. Ongoing curation and sequence checking is being carried out by the Pathogen Genomics group. Plasmodium falciparum is the most deadly of the five Plasmodium species that cause human malaria. Malaria has a massive impact on human health; it is the worlds second biggest killer after tuberculosis. Around 300 million clinical cases occur each year resulting in between 1.5 - 2.7 million deaths annually, the majority in sub-saharan Africa. It is estimated that 3,000 children under the age of five years fall victim to malaria each day. Around 40% of the worlds population are at risk. In collaboration with EuPathDB, genomic sequence data and annotations are regularly deposited on PlasmoDB where they can be integrated with other datasets and queried using customized queries.
