http://www.hgsc.bcm.tmc.edu/content/red-flour-beetle-genome-project

This portal provides information about the Tribolium castabeum Genome Project. The Tribolium castaneum genome sequence and its analysis has been published in Nature, two companion journal issues (IBMB and DGE) and numerous other publications listed below. The red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum, a common pest that is also a genetic model for the Coleoptera. The genome has been sequenced to 7-fold coverage using a whole genome shotgun approach and assembled using the HGSC's assembly engine, Atlas, with methods employed for the Drosophila pseudoobscura genome assembly. Approximately 90% of the genome sequence has been mapped to chromosomes in collaboration with Dick Beeman (USDA ARS) and Sue Brown (Kansas State University). Access to the Data :- Genome Assembly: The long term home of the Tribolium genome is Beetlebase. Tcas 3.0 is now available in GenBank and on our FTP site. Note there are no restrictions of any kind on the Tribolium data as it has been published. Version 2 of the assembly, Tcas_2.0 is available for download using the FTP Data link in the sidebar. The assembly is described in detail in the README in that directory. T.cas_1.0 was a preliminary genome assembly that did not include large insert paired end information and has been moved to a previous assemblies folder. A genboree browser of the Tcas2.0 sequence is available here: There are also links to the genboree browser from the blast results (at the bottom of each reported HSP) if you use the blast server on this page. The original linear scaffold file, Tcas2.0/linearScaffolds/Tcas20050914-genome, posted on the ftp site did not include singleton contigs from the assembly and thus did not fully reflect the tribolium genome sequence, missing ~4.4Mb of sequence in 1860 contigs and reptigs or approximately 2.5% of the assembled sequence. A corrected Tcas20051011-genome file containing these missing sequences is now available on the ftp site. The blast databases have also been updated to reflect this change. All other data is correct, and not affected by this change. :- BLAST Searches: The BLAST link is located in the sidebar. :* Linearized chromosome and unplaced scaffold sequences :* Assembled contigs :* Bin0 unassembled reads and Repeat reads Traces are available from the NCBI Trace Archive by using the link in the sidebar, or by using NCBI MegaBLAST with a same species or cross species query. Sponsors: Funding for this project has been provided by the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI U54 HG003273), which is part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Service (USDA ARS Agreement No. 58-5430-3-338).

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVCE, documented September 2, 2016. The mission of the C. elegans Gene Knockout Consortium is to facilitate genetic research of this important model system through the production of deletion alleles at specified gene targets. We choose targets based on investigator requests. Strains produced by the consortium are freely available with no restrictions to any investigator. At one time, our capacity dictated that we restrict requests to five per lab. This restriction no longer holds. Investigators are encouraged especially to register requests for functionally related groups of genes. Consortium strains are distributed by the C. elegans Genetic Center (CGC). In most cases, when you use the Consortium web site to request an existing allele, your request is forwarded automatically to the CGC. However, if you indicate that an existing allele is not satisfactory for your research, (for whatever reason), you may request that we generate another allele for the same target. Any information generated by the Consortium is entered into the official C. elegans data repository, WormBase.

Knowledge base of genetic associations and human genome epidemiology including information on population prevalence of genetic variants, gene-disease associations, gene-gene and gene- environment interactions, and evaluation of genetic tests. This tool explores HuGENet, the Human Genome Epidemiology Network, which is a global collaboration of individuals and organizations committed to the assessment of the impact of human genome variation on population health and how genetic information can be used to improve health and prevent disease. What does HuGE Navigator offer? *HuGEpedia - an encyclopedia of human genetic variation in health and disease, includes, Phenopedia and Genopedia. Phenopedia allows you to look up gene-disease association summaries by disease, and Genopedia allows you to look up gene-disease association summaries by gene. In general, HuGEpedia is a searchable database that summarizes published articles about human disease and genetic variation, including primary studies, reviews, and meta-analyses. It provides links to Pubmed abstracts, researcher contact info, trends, and more. *HuGEtools - searching and mining the literature in human genome epidemiology, includes, HuGE Literature Finder, HuGE Investigator Browser, Gene Prospector, HuGE Watch, Variant Name Mapper, and HuGE Risk Translator. *HuGE Literature Finder finds published articles in human genome epidemiology since 2001. The search query can include genes, disease, outcome, environmental factors, author, etc. Results can be filtered by these categories. It is also possible to see all articles in the database for a particular topic, such as genotype prevalence, pharmacogenomics, or clinical trial. *HuGE Investigator Browser finds investigators in a particular field of human genome epidemiology. This info is obtained using a behind-the-scenes tool that automatically parses PubMed affiliation data. *Gene Prospector is a gateway for evaluating genes in relation to disease and risk factors. This tool allows you to enter a disease or risk factor and then supplies you with a table of genes associated w/your query that are ranked based on strength of evidence from the literature. This evidence is culled from the HuGE Literature Finder and NCBI Entrez Gene - And you're given the scoring formula. The Gene Prospector results table provides access to the Genopedia entry for each gene in the list, general info including links to other resources, SNP info, and associated literature from HuGE, PubMed, GWAS, and more. It is a great place to locate a lot of info about your disease/gene of interest very quickly. *HuGE Watch tracks the evolution of published literature, HuGE investigators, genes studied, or diseases studied in human genome epidemiology. For example, if you search Trend/Pattern for Diseases Studied you'll initially get a graph and chart of the number of diseases studied per year since 1997. You can refine these results by limiting the temporal trend to a category or study type such as Gene-gene Interaction or HuGE Review. *Variant Name Mapper maps common names and rs numbers of genetic variants using information from SNP500Cancer, SNPedia, pharmGKB, ALFRED, AlzGene, PDGene, SZgene, HuGE Navigator, LSDBs, and user submissions. *HuGE Risk Translator calculates the predictive value of genetic markers for disease risk. To do so, users must enter the frequency of risk variant, the population disease risk, and the odds ratio between the gene and disease. This information is necessary in order to yield a useful predictive result. *HuGEmix - a series of HuGE related informatics utilities and projects, includes, GAPscreener, HuGE Track, Open Source. GAPscreener is a screening tool for published literature on human genetic associations; HuGE Track is a custom track built for HuGE data in the UCSC Genome Browser; and Open Source is infrastructure for managing knowledge and information from PubMed.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented August 22, 2016. A database of candidate genes for mapped inherited human diseases. Candidate priorities are automatically established by a data mining algorithm that extracts putative genes in the chromosomal region where the disease is mapped, and evaluates their possible relation to the disease based on the phenotype of the disorder. Data analysis uses a scoring system developed for the possible functional relations of human genes to genetically inherited diseases that have been mapped onto chromosomal regions without assignment of a particular gene. Methodology can be divided in two parts: the association of genes to phenotypic features, and the identification of candidate genes on a chromosonal region by homology. This is an analysis of relations between phenotypic features and chemical objects, and from chemical objects to protein function terms, based on the whole MEDLINE and RefSeq databases.

NBRP-Rat was established to overcome limitations associated with properly utilizing existing rat resources. The collection of existing strains and genetic sub strains, phenotypic and genotypic characterization, cryopreservation of embryos, distribution of the collected rat strains, and a publicly accessible database of all assembled data are the major goals of this project. Once achieved, this unique database including the unique rat strains will become a powerful tool for biomedical research. A catalog of comparable, standardized and well characterized rat strains will lead to new and more precise research topics as well as it will facilitate biomedical sciences, drug discovery, advanced chemical research, and contributes to life sciences worldwide. As mentioned before, the major goals of NBRP-Rat are the collection, preservation and supply of rat strains. The repository includes strains from Japan and abroad, spontaneous mutants, congenic and recombinant strains as well as transgenic and mutagenized rats. Deposited rat strains are not only conserved as cryopreserved embryos and sperm. Many reference and frequently used rat strains are also maintained as living animals under SPF conditions. Furthermore, NBRP-rat provides a unique database on various rat strain phenotypes accompanied with basic genetic information. This allows scientists the selection of standardized and research specific strains. The animals themselves are provided free of charge to the research community (except for shipping costs). Sponsors: This project is one part of the National BioResource Projects (NBRP) in Japan for more than 20 species including animals, plants, microbes, tissues and DNAs.

The Molecular Biology and Genetics Department at Bogazii University is one of the major reference laboratories in Turkey, specialized in molecular analysis of common genetic disorders. Over the years, the rapid accumulation of mutation data in connection with detailed clinical and laboratory information, has led to the idea of establishing a national database for storing, analysing and presenting it in a more efficient and systematic way. For this purpose, an interdisciplinary project was initiated in 1995. b-Thalassemia and Hemophilia-B Databases were selected as preliminary models, for they offer alternative design and implementation strategies due to different clinical and genetic characteristics. b-Thalassemia is an autosomal recessive disorder, characterized by microcytosis and hemolytic anemia, which is the result of reduced b-Globin chain synthesis. In Turkey, the disease is represented with a gene frequency of 2 and reflected by a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations with the presence of more than 40 different mutation. Currently, there is no database available for thalassemia mutations. Hemophilia B is an X-linked recessive disorder caused by heterogenous mutations, resulting in a marked deficit of coagulation factor IX (FIX); an essential component of the clotting mechanism. A hemophilia B database was first published in 1990 as a list of point mutations and short additions and deletions with 115 mutations comprising 216 entries Gene-, System-, or Disease- Specific Databases

The Daphnia Genomics Consortium (DGC) is an international network of investigators committed to mounting the freshwater crustacean Daphnia as a model system for ecology, evolution and the environmental sciences. Along with research activities, the DGC is: (1) coordinating efforts towards developing the Daphnia genomic toolbox, which will then be available for use by the general community; (2) facilitating collaborative cross-disciplinary investigations; (3) developing bioinformatic strategies for organizing the rapidly growing genome database; and (4) exploring emerging technologies to improve high throughput analyses of molecular and ecological samples. If we are to succeed in creating a new model system for modern life-sciences research, it will need to be a community-wide effort. Research activities of the DGC are primarily focused on creating genomic tools and information. When completed, the current projects will offer a first view of the Daphnia genome''s topography, including regions of high and low recombination, the distribution of transposable, repetitive and regulatory elements, the size and structure of genes and of their neighborhoods. This information is crucial in formulating testable hypotheses relating genetics and demographics to the evolutionary potential or constraints of natural populations. Projects aiming to compile identifiable genes with their function are also underway, together with robust methods to verify these findings. Finally, these tools are being tested, by exploring their uses in key ecological and toxicological investigations. Each project benefits from the leadership and expertise of many individuals. For further details, begin by contacting the project directors. The DGC consists of biologists from a broad spectrum of subdisciplines, including limnology, ecotoxicology, quantitative and population genetics, systematics, molecular biology and evolution, developmental biology, genomics and bioinformatics. In many regards, the rapid early success of the consortium results from its grass-roots origin promoting an international composition, under a cooperative model, with significant scientific breadth. We hold to this approach in building this network and encourage more people to participate. All the while, the DGC is structured to effectively reach specific goals. The consortium includes an advisory board (composed of experts of the various subdisciplines), whose responsibility is to act as the research community''s agent in guiding the development of Daphnia genomic resources. The advisors communicate directly to DGC members, who are either contributing genomic tools or actively seeking funds for this function. The consortium''s main body (given the widespread interest in applying genomic tools in environmental studies) are the affiliates, who make use of these tools for their research and who are soliciting support.
