http://www.bioinformatics2.wsu.edu/cgi-bin/Athena/cgi/home.pl

Athena is a web-based application that warehouses disparate datatypes related to the control of gene expression. Athena provides several features to enable exploration of the regulatory mechanisms of Arabidopsis gene control. The first main tool we provide is visualization of promoter domains of selected genes. Database crossreference for these transcription factors is provided as well as a statistical test for enrichment of binding activity within the set of selected promoters. The data mining tools in Athena allow for selection of sets of genes based on two different factors. -Genes can be select by specifying a set of binding factors whose putative sites must be present within all of those genes'' promoter regions. -Alternatively, genes can be selected using Gene Ontology annotations. Both GO (Gene Ontology) Slim terms and Gene Ontology terms are available. One can select a set of genes by either choosing a union of the genes annotated by a selected set of Slim terms or Gene Ontology terms. The selected gene''s putative binding factors are listed, including enrichment data. Furthermore, enriched presence of Gene Ontology terms is given. The analysis suite provides both enhanced data mining tools for selecting genes as well as several data displays., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 16,2025.

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.

http://pbil.univ-lyon1.fr/databases/homolens.php

Database of homologous genes from Ensembl organisms, structured under ACNUC sequence database management system. It allows to select sets of homologous genes among species, and to visualize multiple alignments and phylogenetic trees. It is possible to search for orthologous genes in a wide range of taxons. HOMOLENS is particularly useful for comparative sequence analysis, phylogeny and molecular evolution studies. More generally, HOMOLENS gives an overall view of what is known about a peculiar gene family. Note that HOMOLENS is split into two databases on this server: HOMOLENS contains the protein sequences while HOMOLENSDNA contains the nucleotide sequences. Protein sequences of HOMOLENS have been generated by translating the CDS of HOMOLENSDNA and using associated cross-references to generate the annotations.

WebProAnalyst provides web-accessible analysis for scanning the quantitative structure-activity relationships in protein families. It searches for a sequence region, whose substitutions are correlated with variations in the activities of a homologous protein set, the so-called activity modulating sites. WebProAnalyst allows users to search for the key physicochemical characteristics of the sites that affect the changes in protein activities. It enables the building of multiple linear regression and neural networks models that relate these characteristics to protein activities. WebProAnalyst implements multiple linear regression analysis, back propagation neural networks and the Structure-Activity Correlation/Determination Coefficient (SACC/SADC). A back propagation neural network is implemented as a two-layered network, one layer as input, the other as output (Rumelhart et al, 1986). WebProAnalyst uses alignment of amino acid sequences and data on protein activity (pK, Km, ED50, among others). The input data are the numerical values for the physicochemical characteristics of a site in the multiple alignment given by a slide window. The output data are the predicted activity values. The current version of WebProAnalyst handles a single activity for a single protein. The SACC/SADC may be defined as an estimate of the strongest multiple correlation between the physicochemical characteristics of a site in a multiple alignment and protein activities. The SACC/SADC coefficient makes possible the calculation of the possible highest correlation achievable for the quantitative relationship between the physicochemical properties of sites and protein activities. The SACC/SADC is a convenient means for an arrangement of positions by their functional significance. WebProAnalyst outputs a list of multiple alignment positions, the respective correlation values, also regression analysis parameters for the relationships between the amino acid physicochemical characteristics at these positions and the protein activity values.

http://www.cmbi.ru.nl/GeneSeeker/

The GeneSeeker allows you to search across different databases simultaneously, given a known human genetic location and expression/phenotypic pattern. The GeneSeeker returns any found gene names which are located on the specified location and expressed in the specified tissue. To search for more expression location in one search, just enter them in the textbox for the expression location and separate them with logical operators (and, or, not). You can specify as many tissues as you want, the program starts 20 queries simultaneously, and then waits for a query to finish before starting another query, to keep server loads to a minimum. You can also search only for expression, just leave the cytogenetic location fields blank, and do the query. If you only want to look for one cytogenetic location, only fill in the first location field, and the GeneSeeker will search with only this one. Housekeeping genes , found in Swissprot can be excluded, or genes that are to be excluded can be specified. Human chromosome localizations are translated with an oxford-grid to mouse chromosome localizations, and then submitted to the Mgd. Sponsors: GeneSeeker is a service provided by the Centre for Molecular and Biomolecular Informatics (CMBI).

Database to search through the nucleic acid structures from the Protein Data Bank and examine structural motifs, including (a)symmetric internal loops, bulge loops, and hairpin loops. They have compiled over 2,000 three-dimensional structures, which can now be searched using different parameters, including PDB information, experimental technique, sequence, and motif type. RNA secondary structure is important for designing therapeutics, understanding protein-RNA binding and predicting tertiary structure of RNA. Several databases and downloadable programs exist that specialize in the three-dimensional (3D) structure of RNA, but none focus specifically on secondary structural motifs such as internal, bulge and hairpin loops. To create the RNA CoSSMos database, 2156 Protein Data Bank (PDB) files were searched for internal, bulge and hairpin loops, and each loop''''s structural information, including sugar pucker, glycosidic linkage, hydrogen bonding patterns and stacking interactions, was included in the database. False positives were defined, identified and reclassified or omitted from the database to ensure the most accurate results possible. Users can search via general PDB information, experimental parameters, sequence and specific motif and by specific structural parameters in the subquery page after the initial search. Returned results for each search can be viewed individually or a complete set can be downloaded into a spreadsheet to allow for easy comparison. The RNA CoSSMos database is updated weekly.
