http://db-mml.sjtu.edu.cn/ICEberg/

ICEberg is an integrated database that provides comprehensive information about integrative and conjugative elements (ICEs) found in bacteria. ICEs are conjugative self-transmissible elements that can integrate into and excise from a host chromosome. An ICE contains three typical modules, integration and excision, conjugation, and regulation modules, that collectively promote vertical inheritance and periodic lateral gene flow. Many ICEs carry likely virulence determinants, antibiotic-resistant factors and/or genes coding for other beneficial traits. ICEberg offers a unique, highly organized, readily explorable archive of both predicted and experimentally supported ICE-relevant data. It currently contains details of 428 ICEs found in representatives of 124 bacterial species, and a collection of >400 directly related references. A broad range of similarity search, sequence alignment, genome context browser, phylogenetic and other functional analysis tools are readily accessible via ICEberg. ICEberg will facilitate efficient, multidisciplinary and innovative exploration of bacterial ICEs and be of particular interest to researchers in the broad fields of prokaryotic evolution, pathogenesis, biotechnology and metabolism. The ICEberg database will be maintained, updated and improved regularly to ensure its ongoing maximum utility to the research community.

The CREATE consortium represents a core of major European and international mouse database holders and research groups involved in conditional mutagenesis, primarily to develop a strategy for the integration and dissemination of Cre driver strains for modelling aspects of complex human diseases in the mouse. Collectively the participants have amassed a significant number of these strains in their respective databases. Therefore one of the goals of CREATE is to provide a unified portal for worldwide access to these critical resources. The portal can either be searched through an advanced BioMart interface, by driver name, or by anatomical site of expression using Embryonic Mouse Anatomy Project (EMAP) and Mouse Anatomy (MA) ontology terms. Search results link back to the original source of the data for more detailed information and to IMSR to order mice if available. The ontology browser is particularly useful as it enables the CREATE consortium to identify cell and tissues that are not currently covered by existing lines. CREATE also aims to coordinate the production of suitable lines by the Cre generation projects described above. Through the CREATE portal, the CREATE consortium aims to develop a strategy for the production, integration and dissemination of new Cre driver strains for modelling aspects of complex human diseases in the mouse. CREATE is also developing a roadmap for harnessing emerging technologies and methods for improving Cre-mediated recombination in vivo through targeted, intensive workshops and discussion forums on the portal. This will entail review of construct design options for classical transgenic constructs (promoter/enhancer used, small size <2025 Kb) vs large transgenic constructs (BAC, P1, YAC etc.); methods used for Cre transgenic lines including random vs targeted integration, position independent expression loci, or replacement of endogenous coding sequences with Cre recombinase under the control of the endogenous locus. CREATE provides a platform for discussion of additional issues specific to inducible Cre strategies including background activity before induction, inducibility (kinetics), efficiency, and protocols used for induction of Cre recombinase activity. Additional components of the technology roadmap will be the cataloguing of other existing methodologies (rtTA, FLP, Dre) of mouse genome modification, sharing information on validated Cre mutant lines as well as identification and assessment of new methods of mutagenesis such as RNAi and other emerging technologies. Other discussion topics addressed through surveys on the CREATE portal include the characterization of Cre lines (specificity of expression/deletion; efficiency of expression/ deletion; reproducibility of deletion from animal to animal for the same floxed allele; reproducibility with different floxed alleles; timing of expression/deletion, etc.), the extent to which Cre expression changes upon backcrossing to specific genetic backgrounds through variegation and silencing; potential phenotypes caused by either integration- mediated mutagenesis or Cre ''toxicity''; and other factors affecting the specificity of Cre-mediated expression/deletion. CREATE regularly integrates common fields from the Cre-X, CreZOO and the MGI recombinase portal resources described below. The data in common consists of: * Transgene or Knock-in name. * MGI ID of allele. * Driver. * Anatomical site of expression. * Pubmed ID. * IMSR strain name and link. * Inducibility (YES/NO).

http://www.vbase2.org/

Integrative database of germ-line V genes from the immunoglobulin loci of human and mouse. It presents V gene sequences extracted from the EMBL nucleotide sequence database and Ensembl together with links to the respective source sequences. Based on the properties of the source sequences, V genes are classified into 3 different classes: * Class 1: genomic and rearranged evidence * Class 2: genomic evidence only * Class 3: rearranged evidence only This allows careful sequence quality validation by the user. References to other immunological databases ( KABAT, IMGT/LIGM and VBASE ) are given to provide all public annotation data for each V gene. The VBASE2 database can be accessed either by the Direct Query interface or by the DNAPLOT Query interface. The Sequences given by the user are aligned with DNAPLOT against the VBASE2 database. Direct Query allows to enter sequence IDs and names (Field 1), choose species, locus, V gene family and class (Field 2) or search for 100% sequences (Field 3). At the DNAPLOT Query, the sequences given by the user are aligned with DNAPLOT against the VBASE2 database. The DNAPLOT program offers V gene nucleotide sequence alignment referring to the IMGT V gene unique numbering. The Quick Search can be used either for Direct Query to search for sequence IDs and V gene names or for DNAPLOT Query for up to 5 sequences. The new Fab Analysis allows you to align Fab, scFab, scAb or scFv sequences with DNAPLOT against the VBASE2 database, where both heavy and light chain are analyzed.

http://pbil.univ-lyon1.fr/cap3.php

This form allows you to assemble a set of contiguous sequences (contigs) with the CAP3 program. The CAP3 program has a capability to clip 5'' and 3'' low-quality regions of reads. It uses base quality values in computation of overlaps between reads, construction of multiple sequence alignments of reads, and generation of consensus sequences. The program also uses forward-reverse constraints to correct assembly errors and link contigs. Results of CAP3 on four BAC data sets are presented. The performance of CAP3 was compared with that of PHRAP on a number of BAC data sets. PHRAP often produces longer contigs than CAP3 whereas CAP3 often produces fewer errors in consensus sequences than PHRAP. It is easier to construct scaffolds with CAP3 than with PHRAP on low-pass data with forward-reverse constraints. Sponsors: This project was supported by NIH Grant R01HG01502-02 from NHGRI.

V-Cell is a remote user modeling and simulation environment utilizing Java''s Remote Method Invocation (RMI). The biologically oriented user interface allows experimentalists to create models, define cellular geometry, specify simulations and analyze the simulation results. The results are run and stored on a remote server and can be reviewed in the software and/or exported in a variety of popular formats. The design of the biological to mathematical mapping allows for separate use of biological and math components, and includes automatic mathematical simplification using pseudo-steady approximations and mass conservation relationships. This allows for direct specification of mathematical problems, performing simulations and analysis on those systems. The stand alone mathematics user interface is also a powerful tool for modeling reaction-diffusion systems. A transparent general purpose solver is used to translate the initial biological description into a set of concise mathematical problems. The solver is transparent to the average user, but is accessible to the theorist as the Math Editor component. The software is composed of three main components: 1. The modeling framework represents the physiological models of the Virtual Cell and allows for persistence and database support. 2. The mathematics framework transparently solves an important class of mathematical problems encountered in the cellular modeling. 3. The WWW accessible graphical user interface provides access to the technology mentioned above. The user interface has been developed using Java 2 Applets.
