http://www.ebi.ac.uk/biosamples/

Database that aggregates sample information for reference samples (e.g. Coriell Cell lines) and samples for which data exist in one of the EBI''''s assay databases such as ArrayExpress, the European Nucleotide Archive or PRoteomics Identificates DatabasE. It provides links to assays for specific samples, and accepts direct submissions of sample information. The goals of the BioSample Database include: # recording and linking of sample information consistently within EBI databases such as ENA, ArrayExpress and PRIDE; # minimizing data entry efforts for EBI database submitters by enabling submitting sample descriptions once and referencing them later in data submissions to assay databases and # supporting cross database queries by sample characteristics. The database includes a growing set of reference samples, such as cell lines, which are repeatedly used in experiments and can be easily referenced from any database by their accession numbers. Accession numbers for the reference samples will be exchanged with a similar database at NCBI. The samples in the database can be queried by their attributes, such as sample types, disease names or sample providers. A simple tab-delimited format facilitates submissions of sample information to the database, initially via email to biosamples (at) ebi.ac.uk. Current data sources: * European Nucleotide Archive (424,811 samples) * PRIDE (17,001 samples) * ArrayExpress (1,187,884 samples) * ENCODE cell lines (119 samples) * CORIELL cell lines (27,002 samples) * Thousand Genome (2,628 samples) * HapMap (1,417 samples) * IMSR (248,660 samples)

http://ssd.rbvi.ucsf.edu/

The SSD has been developed to address the need for resources and tools for understanding large sets of superpositions in order to understand evolutionary relationships and to make predictions of function. We have therefore created the Structure Superposition Database (SSD) for accessing, viewing and understanding large sets of structure superposition data. It contains the results of pairwise, all-by-all superpositions of a representative set of 115 (beta/alpha) barrel structures (TIM barrels). The initial implementation of the SSD contains the results of pairwise, all-by-all superpositions of a representative set of 115 (/alpha)8 barrel structures (TIM barrels). Future plans call for extending the database to include representative structure superpositions for many additional folds. The SSD can be browsed with a user interface module developed as an extension to Chimera, an extensible molecular modeling program. Features of the user interface module facilitate viewing multiple superpositions together.

http://transpogene.tau.ac.il/

A publicly available database of Transposed elements (TEs) which are located within protein-coding genes of 7 organisms: human, mouse, chicken, zebrafish, fruilt fly, nematode and sea squirt. Using TranspoGene the user can learn about the many aspects of the effect these TEs have on their hosting genes, such as: exonization events (including alternative splicing-related data), insertion of TEs into introns, exons, and promoters, specific location of the TE over the gene, evolutionary divergence of the TE from its consensus sequence and involvement in diseases. TranspoGene database is quickly searchable through its website, enables many kinds of searches and is available for download. TranspoGene contains information regarding specific type and family of the TEs, genomic and mRNA location, sequence, supporting transcript accession and alignment to the TE consensus sequence. The database also contains host gene specific data: gene name, genomic location, Swiss-Prot and RefSeq accessions, diseases associated with the gene and splicing pattern. The TranspoGene and microTranspoGene databases can be used by researchers interested in the effect of TE insertion on the eukaryotic transcriptome.

A statistical framework for genomic data fusion is a computational framework for integrating and drawing inferences from a collection of genome-wide measurements. Each dataset is represented via a kernel function, which defines generalized similarity relationships between pairs of entities, such as genes or proteins. The kernel representation is both flexible and efficient, and can be applied to many different types of data. Furthermore, kernel functions derived from different types of data can be combined in a straightforward fashion. Recent advances in the theory of kernel methods have provided efficient algorithms to perform such combinations in a way that minimizes a statistical loss function. These methods exploit semidefinite programming techniques to reduce the problem of finding optimizing kernel combinations to a convex optimization problem. Computational experiments performed using yeast genome-wide datasets, including amino acid sequences, hydropathy profiles, gene expression data and known protein-protein interactions, demonstrate the utility of this approach. A statistical learning algorithm trained from all of these data to recognize particular classes of proteins--membrane proteins and ribosomal proteins--performs significantly better than the same algorithm trained on any single type of data. Matlab code to center a kernel matrix and Matlab code for normalization are available.

A network of protein-protein, protein-DNA and modulatory interactions in human B cells. The network contains known interactions (reported in public databases) and predicted interactions by a Bayesian evidence integration framework which integrates a variety of generic and context specific experimental clues about protein-protein and protein-DNA interactions with inferences from different reverse engineering algorithms, such as GeneWays and ARACNE. Modulatory interactions are predicted by the MINDY, an algorithm for the prediction of modulators of transcriptional interactions (please refer to the publication section for more information). The BCI can be downloaded as one tab delimited file containing the complete network (BCI.txt) with each type of interaction explicitly defined.

COILS is a program that compares a sequence to a database of known parallel two-stranded coiled-coils and derives a similarity score. By comparing this score to the distribution of scores in globular and coiled-coil proteins, the program then calculates the probability that the sequence will adopt a coiled-coil conformation.
