http://www.bioguo.org/AnimalTFDB/

A comprehensive transcription factor (TF) database in which they identified and classified all the genome-wide TFs in 50 sequenced animal genomes (Ensembl release version 60). In addition to TFs, it also collects transcription co-factors and chromatin remodeling factors of those genomes, which play regulatory roles in transcription. Here they defined the TFs as proteins containing a sequence-specific DNA-binding domain (DBD) and regulating target gene expression. Currently, the AnimalTFDB classifies all the animal TFs into 72 families according to their conserved DBDs. Gene lists of transcription factors, transcription co-factors and chromatin remodeling factors of each species are available for downloading., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 16,2025.

http://biomine.cs.helsinki.fi/

Service that integrates cross-references from several biological databases into a graph model with multiple types of edges, such as protein interactions, gene-disease associations and gene ontology annotations. Edges are weighted based on their type, reliability, and informativeness. In particular, it formulates protein interaction prediction and disease gene prioritization tasks as instances of link prediction. The predictions are based on a proximity measure computed on the integrated graph.

http://www.informatics.jax.org/mgihome/GO/project.shtml

This resource is part of the Gene Ontology Consortium which seeks to provide controlled vocabularies for the description of the molecular function, biological process, and cellular component of gene products. These terms are to be used as attributes of gene products by collaborating databases, facilitating uniform queries across them. GO team members at MGI participate in ontology development, outreach, and functional curation of mouse gene products. The GO vocabularies have a hierarchical structure that permits a range of detail from high-level, broadly descriptive terms to very low level, highly specific terms. This broad range is useful both in annotating genes and in searching for gene information using these terms as search criteria. GO terms are defined, allowing all databases to use the terms consistently and properly. GO annotations in the databases additionally include the publication reference which allowed the association to be made and an evidence statement citing how the association was determined.

http://www.innatedb.com

Publicly available database of the genes, proteins, experimentally-verified interactions and signaling pathways involved in the innate immune response of humans, mice and bovines to microbial infection. The database captures coverage of the innate immunity interactome by integrating known interactions and pathways from major public databases together with manually-curated data into a centralized resource. The database can be mined as a knowledgebase or used with the integrated bioinformatics and visualization tools for the systems level analysis of the innate immune response. Although InnateDB curation focuses on innate immunity-relevant interactions and pathways, it also incorporates detailed annotation on the entire human, mouse and bovine interactomes by integrating data (178,000+ interactions & 3,900+ pathways) from several of the major public interaction and pathway databases. InnateDB also has integrated human, mouse and bovine orthology predictions generated using Ortholgue software. Ortholgue uses a phylogenetic distance-based method to identify possible paralogs in high-throughput orthology predictions. Integrated human and mouse conserved gene order and synteny information has also been determined to provide further support for orthology predictions. InnateDB Capabilities: * View statistics for manually-curated innate immunity relevant molecular interactions. New manually curated interactions are submitted weekly. * Search for genes and proteins of interest. * Search for experimentally-verified molecular interactions by gene/protein name, interaction type, cell type, etc. * Search genes/interactions belonging to 3,900 pathways. * Visualize interactions using an intuitive subcellular localization-based layout in Cerebral. * Upload your own list of genes along with associated gene expression data (from up to 10 experimental conditions) to interactively analyze this data in a molecular interaction network context. Once you have uploaded your data, you will be able to interactively visualize interaction networks with expression data overlaid; carry out Pathway, Gene Ontology and Transcription Factor Binding Site over-representation analyses; construct orthologous interaction networks in other species; and much more. * Access curated interaction data via a dedicated PSICQUIC webservice.

GoMiner is a tool for biological interpretation of "omic" data including data from gene expression microarrays. Omic experiments often generate lists of dozens or hundreds of genes that differ in expression between samples, raising the question, What does it all mean biologically? To answer this question, GoMiner leverages the Gene Ontology (GO) to identify the biological processes, functions and components represented in these lists. Instead of analyzing microarray results with a gene-by-gene approach, GoMiner classifies the genes into biologically coherent categories and assesses these categories. The insights gained through GoMiner can generate hypotheses to guide additional research. GoMiner displays the genes within the framework of the Gene Ontology hierarchy in two ways: * In the form of a tree, similar to that in AmiGO * In the form of a "Directed Acyclic Graph" (DAG) The program also provides: * Quantitative and statistical analysis * Seamless integration with important public databases GoMiner uses the databases provided by the GO Consortium. These databases combine information from a number of different consortium participants, include information from many different organisms and data sources, and are referenced using a variety of different gene product identification approaches.

Gene Ontology Browsing Utility (GOBU) (GOBU) is a Java-based software program for integrating biological annotation catalogs under an extendable software architecture. Users may interact with the Gene Ontology and user-defined hierarchy data of genes, and then use its plugins to (and not limited to) (1) browse the GO hierarchy with user defined data, (2) browse GO-oriented expression levels in the user data, (3) compute GO enrichment, and/or (4) customize data reporting. A set of classes and utility functions has been established so that a customized program can be made as a plugin or a command-line tool that programmically manipulate the Gene Ontology and specified user data. See the source code repository for examples. Reference Lin WD, Chen YC, Ho JM, Hsiao CD. GOBU: Toward an Integration Interface for Biological Objects. Journal of Information Science and Engineering. 2006 22(1):19-29. Platform: Windows compatible, Mac OS X compatible, Linux compatible, Unix compatible

The OWL API is a Java API and reference implementation for creating, manipulating and serializing OWL Ontologies. The latest version of the API is focused towards OWL 2. The OWLAPI underpins ontology browsing and editing tools and platforms such as SWOOP and Protege4. Note that this API, or any other OWL-based API, can be used without an integrated OWL parser if you download a pre-converted OWL file generated from OBO. See OBO Ontologies List for all OBO ontologies converted to OWL (we do not list the full complement of OWL-based APIs here, only those of direct relevance to GO). The OWL API includes the following components: * An API for OWL 2 and an efficient in-memory reference implementation * RDF/XML parser and writer * OWL/XML parser and writer * OWL Functional Syntax parser and writer * Turtle parser and writer * KRSS parser * OBO Flat file format parser * Reasoner interfaces for working with reasoners such as FaCT++, HermiT, Pellet and Racer Platform: Windows compatible, Mac OS X compatible, Linux compatible, Unix compatible
