A comprehensive collection of experimentally determined and computationally predicted CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF) binding sites (CTCFBS) from the literature. The database is designed to facilitate the studies on insulators and their roles in demarcating functional genomic domains. The CTCFBS Prediction Tool allows users to scan sequences for the single best match to CTCF position weight matrices. Currently (March 2014), the database contains almost 15 million experimentally determined CTCF binding sites across several species. CTCF binding sites were collected from published papers containing CTCF binding sites identified using ChIPSeq or similar methods, data from the ENCODE project, and a set of approximately 100 manually curated binding sites identified by low-throughput experiments. Users can browse insulator sequence features, function annotations, genomic contexts including histone methylation profiles, flanking gene expression patterns and orthologous regions in other mammalian genomes. Users can also retrieve data by text search, sequence search and genomic range search.

http://code.google.com/p/frhit/

An efficient fragment recruitment software program for next generation sequences against microbial reference genomes. It produces similar sensitivity of BLASTN, but runs at a 100 times higher speed. The algorithm adopts a seeding heuristic strategy with overlapping k-mer hashing to locate candidate matching blocks on the reference sequences, and then apply an effective filtering within the candidate blocks to filter out blocks that do not meet the minimum criteria for containing an alignment with specified parameters. For each candidate block that passed the filter, the best matching sub-regions between a candidate block and a read are determined, and used subsequently by the banded Smith-Waterman algorithm to carry out the actual alignment efficiently, which will finally verify if this can be a valid recruitment hit.

http://www.cancergenomics.org/

Consortium promoting communication and collaboration among cancer cytogenomics laboratories, who are interested in applying microarray technologies to cancer diagnosis and cancer research. Their oals are to (1) establish platform-neutral and cancer specific microarray designs for diagnostic purposes, (2) share cancer microarray data between participating institutions for education purposes, (3) create a public cancer array database, and (4) carry out multicenter cancer genome translational research. Collaboration amongst the different laboratories and researchers will not only provide validation for the microarray design(s) but ultimately provide more comprehensive molecular information and more accurate interpretation to better serve cancer patients and further cancer research. The CGC was officially incorporated in June 2010 as a not-for-profit organization.

Central DDBJ resource consists of public, open-access nucleotide sequence databases including raw sequence reads, assembly information and functional annotation. Database content is exchanged with EBI and NCBI within the framework of the International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration (INSDC). In 2011, DDBJ launched two new resources: DDBJ Omics Archive and BioProject. DOR is archival database of functional genomics data generated by microarray and highly parallel new generation sequencers. Data are exchanged between the ArrayExpress at EBI and DOR in the common MAGE-TAB format. BioProject provides organizational framework to access metadata about research projects and data from projects that are deposited into different databases.
