The migratory locust (Locusta migratoria) is an orthopteran pest and a representative member of hemimetabolous insects. Its transcriptomic data provide invaluable information for molecular entomology study of the insect and pave a way for comparative studies of other medically, agronomically, and ecologically relevant insects. This first transcriptomic database of the locust (LocustDB) has been developed, building necessary infrastructures to integrate, organize, and retrieve data that are either currently available or to be acquired in the future. It currently hosts 45,474 high quality EST sequences from the locust, which were assembled into 12,161 unigenes. This database contains original sequence data, including homologous/orthologous sequences, functional annotations, pathway analysis, and codon usage, based on conserved orthologous groups (COG), gene ontology (GO), protein domain (InterPro), and functional pathways (KEGG). It also provides information from comparative analysis based on data from the migratory locust and five other invertebrate species, such as the silkworm, the honeybee, the fruitfly, the mosquito and the nematode. LocustDB also provides information from comparative analysis based on data from the migratory locust and five other invertebrate species, such as the silkworm, the honeybee, the fruitfly, the mosquito and the nematode. It starts with the first transcriptome information for an orthopteran and hemimetabolous insect and will be extended to provide a framework for incorporation of in-coming genomic data of relevant insect groups and a workbench for cross-species comparative studies.

http://andromeda.gsf.de/litminer

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented August 23, 2016. The LitMiner software is a literature data-mining tool that facilitates the identification of major gene regulation key players related to a user-defined field of interest in PubMed abstracts. The prediction of gene-regulatory relationships is based on co-occurrence analysis of key terms within the abstracts. LitMiner predicts relationships between key terms from the biomedical domain in four categories (genes, chemical compounds, diseases and tissues). The usefulness of the LitMiner system has been demonstrated recently in a study that reconstructed disease-related regulatory networks by promoter modeling that was initiated by a LitMiner generated primary gene list. To overcome the limitations and to verify and improve the data, we developed WikiGene, a Wiki-based curation tool that allows revision of the data by expert users over the Internet. It is based on the annotation of key terms in article abstracts followed by statistical co-citation analysis of annotated key terms in order to predict relationships. Key terms belonging to four different categories are used for the annotation process: -Genes: Names of genes and gene products. Gene name recognition is based on Ensembl . Synonyms and aliases are resolved. -Chemical Compounds: Names of chemical compounds and their respective aliases. -Diseases and Phenotypes: Names of diseases and phenotypes -Tissues and Organs: Names of tissues and organs LitMiner uses a database of disease and phenotype terms for literature annotation. Currently, there are 2225 diseases or phenotypes, 801 tissues and organs, and 10477 compounds in the database.

AltSplice is a computer generated high quality data set of human transcript-confirmed splice patterns, alternative splice events, and the associated annotations. This data is being integrated with other data that is generated by other members of the ASD consortium. The ASD project will provide the following in its three year duration: -human curated database of alternative spliced genes and their properties -a computer generated database of alternatively spliced genes and their properties -the integration of the above and newly found knowledge in a user-friendly interface and research workbench for both bioinformaticists and biologists -DNA chips that are based on the data in the above databases -the DNA chips will be used to test against predisposition for and diagnoses of human diseases ASD aims to analyse this mechanism on a genome-wide scale by creating a database that contains all alternatively spliced exons from human, and other model species. Disease causing mutations seem to induce aberrations in the process of splicing and its regulation. The ASD consortium will develop a DNA microarray (chip) that contains cDNAs of all the splicing regulatory proteins and their isoforms, as well as a chip that contains a number of disease relevant genes. We will concentrate on three models of disease (breast cancer, FTDP-17, male infertility) in which a connection between mis-splicing and a pathological state has been observed. Finally, these chips will be developed as demonstrative kits to detect predisposition for and diagnosis of such diseases. Categories: Nucleotide Sequences: Gene Structure, Introns and Exons, & Splice Sites Databases

The Amphibian Species of the World database has two searching tools, a BROWSE table and a SEARCH table. It provides needed information for research and conservation needs and to help illuminate where geographical data or taxonomic information are woefully inadequate. In addition, all underlined author names, dates, and publications may be clicked through to see other records citing this author, date, or publication. The basic structure of a taxonomic record is (1) Current scientific name, author and year of publication; (2) original name, authorship, citation, and if relevant, location of primary types and type locality (direct quotation if possible). This is followed by a synonymy composed of all new names, their authorship, literature citation, and (if relevant) location of primary types, and type locality as well as all new combinations and the literature source of the synonymy or combination; (3) published English names; (4) known or inferred distribution of the taxon; (5) comments to controversies or relevant taxonomic literature. A synonymy follows the currently recognized name. The synonymy includes synonyms and relevant combinations (in the sense of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, 1999) as well as deposition of types, type localities, and the source of the synonymy. Users who are looking for the synonymy to provide unerringly and precisely the names by which a taxon have been mentioned will be disappointed, and will be misled if they approach synonymies this way.

The Sanger Institute and the Genome Sequencing Center at the Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis have collaborated to sequence the genomes of both C. elegans and C. briggsae. The completed C. elegans genome sequence is represented by over 3,000 individual clone sequences which can be accessed through this site (or through WormBase). These sequences are submitted to EMBL whenever the sequence or annotation changes (e.g. modification to gene structures) and these submissions are then mirrored to GenBank and DDBJ. These sequences (along with ESTs and proteins) can be searched on our C. elegans BLAST server. WormBase is the repository of mapping, sequencing and phenotypic information for C. elegans. The worm informatics group at the Sanger Institute play a key role in assembling the whole database. They also curate and develop some of the constituent databases that comprise WormBase.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on March 27, 2013. A manual generated database for alternative exons and their properties from numerous species - the data is gathered from literature where these exons have been experimentally verified. Most alternative exons are cassette exons and are expressed in more than two tissues. Of all exons whose expression was reported to be specific for a certain tissue, the majority were expressed in the brain. At the moment, AEdb products that are available are sequence (a database of alternative exons), function (a database of functions attributed to constitutive and alternative exon), regulatory sequence (a database of transcript regulatory motifs), minigenes (a table of minigenes and their associations to splicing events), and diseases (a table of diseases associated with splicing and their associations to AltSplice). Alternative splicing is an important regulatory mechanism of mammalian gene expression. The alternative splicing database (ASD) consortium is systematically collecting and annotating data on alternative splicing. The continuation and upgrade of the ASD consists of computationally and manually generated data. Its largest parts are AltSplice, a value-added database of computationally delineated alternative splicing events. Its data include alternatively spliced introns/exons, events, isoform splicing patterns and isoform peptide sequences. AltSplice data are generated by examining gene-transcript alignments. The data are annotated for various biological features including splicing signals, expression states, (SNP)-mediated splicing and cross-species conservation. AEdb forms the manually curated component of ASD. It is a literature-based data set containing sequence and properties of alternatively spliced exons, functional enumeration of observed splicing events, characterization of observed splicing regulatory elements, and a collection of experimentally clarified minigene constructs.

https://epilepsy.uni-freiburg.de/freiburg-seizure-prediction-project

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on April 29,2025. Electroencephalogram (EEG) data recorded from invasive and scalp electrodes. The EEG database contains invasive EEG recordings of 21 patients suffering from medically intractable focal epilepsy. The data were recorded during an invasive pre-surgical epilepsy monitoring at the Epilepsy Center of the University Hospital of Freiburg, Germany. In eleven patients, the epileptic focus was located in neocortical brain structures, in eight patients in the hippocampus, and in two patients in both. In order to obtain a high signal-to-noise ratio, fewer artifacts, and to record directly from focal areas, intracranial grid-, strip-, and depth-electrodes were utilized. The EEG data were acquired using a Neurofile NT digital video EEG system with 128 channels, 256 Hz sampling rate, and a 16 bit analogue-to-digital converter. Notch or band pass filters have not been applied. For each of the patients, there are datasets called ictal and interictal, the former containing files with epileptic seizures and at least 50 min pre-ictal data. the latter containing approximately 24 hours of EEG-recordings without seizure activity. At least 24 h of continuous interictal recordings are available for 13 patients. For the remaining patients interictal invasive EEG data consisting of less than 24 h were joined together, to end up with at least 24 h per patient. An interdisciplinary project between: * Epilepsy Center, University Hospital Freiburg * Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience (BCCN), Freiburg * Freiburg Center for Data Analysis and Modeling (FDM).

http://www.ebi.ac.uk/genomes/plasmid.html

The Plasmid Genome Database aims to collate biological and genomic data for all bacterial plasmids in the hopes of enabling rapid, interrogation of both meta- and genomic data. Data maintained includes access to all plasmid genomes and information on core genomic features obtained from parsing the original EMBL/DDBJ/NCBI submission. In addition a suite of third party analyses has been performed for each genome to supplement the original annotation. This site also links to Genome Atlases provided by the Centre for Biological Sequence Analysis (CBS). The motivation behind the construction of this site derived from observations from genome sequencing projects: the abundance and inferred importance of the horizontal gene pool (HGP) in bacterial adaptation and evolution. In so far as plasmids are autonomously replicating, extrachromosomal elements they are a readily identifiable and accessible component of the HGP. Also plasmids have been identified in almost all bacterial divisions, ranging in size from less than 2 kbp to > 1.5 Mbp and as such represent a defined, yet diverse and complex sample of genes in the HGP.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on July 15, 2013. This is the official database of the environmental chlamydia genome project. This resource provides access to finished sequence for Parachlamydia-related symbiont UWE25 and to a wide range of manual annotations, automatical analyses and derived datasets. Functional classification and description has been manually annotated according to the Annotation guidelines. Chlamydiae are the major cause of preventable blindness and sexually transmitted disease. Genome analysis of a chlamydia-related symbiont of free-living amoebae revealed that it is twice as large as any of the pathogenic chlamydiae and had few signs of recent lateral gene acquisition. We showed that about 700 million years ago the last common ancestor of pathogenic and symbiotic chlamydiae was already adapted to intracellular survival in early eukaryotes and contained many virulence factors found in modern pathogenic chlamydiae, including a type III secretion system. Ancient chlamydiae appear to be the originators of mechanisms for the exploitation of eukaryotic cells. Environmental chlamydiae have recently been recognized as obligate endosymbionts of free-living amoebae and have been implicated as potential human pathogens. Environmental chlamydiae form a deep branching evolutionary lineage within the medically important order Chlamydiales. Despite their high diversity and ubiquitous distribution in clinical and environmental samples only limited information about genetics and ecology of these microorganisms is available. The Parachlamydia-related Acanthamoeba symbiont UWE25 was therefore selected as representative environmental chlamydia strain for whole genome sequencing. Comparative genome analysis was performed using PEDANT and simap. Sponsors: The environmental chlamydia genome project was funded by the bmb+f (German Federal Ministry of Education and Research) and is part of the Competence Network PathoGenoMiK.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on July 15, 2013. An online available compendium of alternative splice forms for several organisms (Arabidopsis thaliana, Bos taurus, Caenorhabditis elegans, Drosophila melanogaster, Danio rerio, Homo sapiens, Mus musculus, Rattus norvegicus, Xenopus laevis). Alternative splice forms are defined by comparing high-scoring ESTs to mRNA sequences (both from GenBank) with known exon-intron information (from ENSEMBL database) using BLAST. Repetitive sequences of all mRNAs have beforehand been masked by MaskerAid. Filtering programs with defined parameters compare the ends of each aligned sequence pair for deletions or insertions in the EST sequence, which suggest the existence of alternative splice forms. The database is accessible by typing in accession numbers (ACC) or keywords like description, gene names, organism or other keywords. (If more than one hit was found a list of all results is given.) And the result page is divided into 4 major parts. The first part (General Information About The Entry) summarizes the most important information as database ids, organism, and description. The so called alternative splice profile (ASP) of each human sequence is shown in the second part (Alternative Splice Frequency). The ASP indicates the number of alternatively spliced ESTs (NAE), the number of constitutively spliced ESTs (NCE) as well as the number of alternative splice sites (NSS) per mRNA. NAE and NCE corresponds to the EST coverage and can be used as a quality value for the predicted alternative splice variants. The NSS value specifies the splice propensity of a gene. Moreover the number of ESTs from cancerous tissues is shown. The histological source and the developmental stages are illustrated with several colors to enables the user to get an overview of the origins of the matching ESTs. Also, the Splice Site View shows graphically all alternative splice sites for the whole transcript.
