A comprehensive biochemical knowledge-base on human metabolism, this community-driven, consensus metabolic reconstruction integrates metabolic information from five different resources: * Recon 1, a global human metabolic reconstruction (Duarte et al, PNAS, 104(6), 1777-1782, 2007) * EHMN, Edinburgh Human Metabolic Network (Hao et al., BMC Bioinformatics 11, 393, 2010) * HepatoNet1, a liver metabolic reconstruction (Gille et al., Molecular Systems Biology 6, 411, 2010), * Ac/FAO module, an acylcarnitine/fatty acid oxidation module (Sahoo et al., Molecular bioSystems 8, 2545-2558, 2012), * a human small intestinal enterocytes reconstruction (Sahoo and Thiele, submitted). Additionally, more than 370 transport and exchange reactions were added, based on a literature review. Recon 2 is fully semantically annotated (Le Nov��re, N. et al. Nat Biotechnol 23, 1509-1515, 2005) with references to persistent and publicly available chemical and gene databases, unambiguously identifying its components and increasing its applicability for third-party users. Here you can explore the content of the reconstruction by searching/browsing metabolites and reactions. Recon 2 predictive model is available in the Systems Biology Markup Language format.

http://omicslab.genetics.ac.cn/GOEAST/

Gene Ontology Enrichment Analysis Software Toolkit (GOEAST) is a web based software toolkit providing easy to use, visualizable, comprehensive and unbiased Gene Ontology (GO) analysis for high-throughput experimental results, especially for results from microarray hybridization experiments. The main function of GOEAST is to identify significantly enriched GO terms among give lists of genes using accurate statistical methods. Compared with available GO analysis tools, GOEAST has the following unique features: * GOEAST supports analysis for data from various resources, such as expression data obtained using Affymetrix, illumina, Agilent or customized microarray platforms. GOEAST also supports non-microarray based experimental data. The web-based feature makes GOEAST very user friendly; users only have to provide a list of genes in correct formats. * GOEAST provides visualizable analysis results, by generating graphs exhibiting enriched GO terms as well as their relationships in the whole GO hierarchy. * Note that GOEAST generates separate graph for each of the three GO categories, namely biological process, molecular function and cellular component. * GOEAST allows comparison of results from multiple experiments (see Multi-GOEAST tool). The displayed color of each GO term node in graphs generated by Multi-GOEAST is the combination of different colors used in individual GOEAST analysis. Platform: Online tool

http://cossmos.slu.edu/

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.

http://proportal.mit.edu/

ProPortal is a database containing genomic, metagenomic, transcriptomic and field data for the marine cyanobacterium Prochlorococcus. Our goal is to provide a source of cross-referenced data across multiple scales of biological organization--from the genome to the ecosystem--embracing the full diversity of ecotypic variation within this microbial taxon, its sister group, Synechococcus and phage that infect them. The site currently contains the genomes of 13 Prochlorococcus strains, 11 Synechococcus strains and 28 cyanophage strains that infect one or both groups. Cyanobacterial and cyanophage genes are clustered into orthologous groups that can be accessed by keyword search or through a genome browser. Users can also identify orthologous gene clusters shared by cyanobacterial and cyanophage genomes. Gene expression data for Prochlorococcus ecotypes MED4 and MIT9313 allow users to identify genes that are up or downregulated in response to environmental stressors. In addition, the transcriptome in synchronized cells grown on a 24-h light-dark cycle reveals the choreography of gene expression in cells in a ''natural'' state. Metagenomic sequences from the Global Ocean Survey from Prochlorococcus, Synechococcus and phage genomes are archived so users can examine the differences between populations from diverse habitats. Finally, an example of cyanobacterial population data from the field is included.

A blog about neuromarketing, a research methodology born of the fusion of neuroscience and research techniques of conventional marketing in Spanish by Sergio Monge. If you want to read it in English, Google translate does a good job. A good way to learn about practical applications of neuroscience to a field with little exposure in conventional neuroscience academia. The neuromarketing is a branch of market research that uses biometric measurement systems in their studies (EEG, MRI, galvanic skin response, eye-tracking, heart rate ...). One of the most significant differences with conventional research neuromarketing is not content with the verbal statements of the subjects, but aims to go further, unraveling the effect of the unconscious and emotions in decision-making. The author of Neuromarca is Sergio Monge, Degree in Advertising and Public Relations and PhD in Audiovisual Communication and Advertising from the University of the Basque Country / Euskal Herriko Universitatea. Sergio has experience in the field of Corporate Communications and is familiar with the blogosphere and the Internet communication environment. He currently teaches full time for the UPV / EHU and offers some services such as communications and marketing consultant. The interest of the author of this blog by neuroscience and neuromarketing longstanding but his attendance Neuro Connections conference, held from 5 to 7 febreo 2009 in Krakow (Poland), is the main reason he began writing Neuromarca. The intention is that Neuromarca is a repository of articles in Spanish about neuromarketing, so that could be a reference to the Hispanic blogosphere in this emerging discipline.

http://bioinformatics.biol.uoa.gr/PRED-TMBB/

A web tool, based on a Hidden Markov Model, capable of predicting the transmembrane beta-strands of the gram-negative bacteria outer membrane proteins, and of discriminating such proteins from water-soluble ones when screening large datasets. The model is trained in a discriminative manner, aiming at maximizing the probability of the correct prediction rather than the likelihood of the sequences. The training is performed on a non-redundant database consisting of 16 outer membrane proteins (OMP''s) with their structures known at atomic resolution. We show that we can achieve predictions at least as good comparing with other existing methods, using as input only the amino-acid sequence, without the need of evolutionary information included in multiple alignments. The method is also powerful when used for discrimination purposes, as it can discriminate with a high accuracy the outer membrane proteins from water soluble in large datasets, making it a quite reliable solution for screening entire genomes. This web-server can help you run a discriminating process on any amino-acid sequence and thereafter localize the transmembrane strands and find the topology of the loops.
