GWASrap is a comprehensive web-based bioinformatics tool to systematically support variant representation, annotation and prioritization for data generated from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and Next Generation Sequencing (NGS). Our web-based framework utilizes state-of-the-art web technologies to maximize user interaction and visualization of the results. For a given SNP dataset with its P-values, GWASrap will first provide a Circos-style plot to visualize any genetic variants at either the genome or chromosome level. The tool then combines different genomic features (SNP/CNV density, disease susceptibility loci, etc.) with comprehensive annotations that give the researcher an intuitive view of the functional significance of the different genomic regions. The detailed statistics of the underlying study are also displayed on the web page, including variant distribution in different functional categories, classic Manhattan plot and QQ plot. Users can perform interactive operations in the Manhattan panel, such as zooming in and out to search regions or markers of interest. The system can also display a comprehensive range of relevant information from variant genetic attributes to nearby genomic elements, such as enhancers or non-coding RNAs. Furthermore, researchers can obtain extensive functional predictions for various features including transcription factor-binding sites, miRNA and miRNA target sites, and their predicted changes caused by the genetic variants. Our system can re-prioritize genetic variants by combining the original statistical value and variant prioritization score based on a simple additive effect equation. Researchers can also re-evaluate the significance of a trait/disease-associated SNP (TAS) using the dynamic linkage disequilibrium (LD) panel or the tree-like network panel. The GWASrap supports input variants in different formats, not only common variants with a dbSNP rs ID but also rare variants from NGS data, which are represented by chromosome and locations. GWASrap provides a range of web services for data retrieving about the annotation information and effect prediction of each variant in dbSNP using the SOAP interface. The WSDL for each service is available in the API tab. Each service returns JSON string including all related information with key/value. GWASrap provides running results about some current published GWAS as well as a category view for each hot disease / trait. The dataset is brought from published database GWAS or curated from literature.

http://www.cazy.org

Database that describes the families of structurally-related catalytic and carbohydrate-binding modules (or functional domains) of enzymes that degrade, modify, or create glycosidic bonds. This specialist database is dedicated to the display and analysis of genomic, structural and biochemical information on Carbohydrate-Active Enzymes (CAZymes). CAZy data are accessible either by browsing sequence-based families or by browsing the content of genomes in carbohydrate-active enzymes. New genomes are added regularly shortly after they appear in the daily releases of GenBank. New families are created based on published evidence for the activity of at least one member of the family and all families are regularly updated, both in content and in description. An original aspect of the CAZy database is its attempt to cover all carbohydrate-active enzymes across organisms and across subfields of glycosciences. One can search for CAZY Family pages using the Protein Accession (Genpept Accession, Uniprot Accession or PDB ID), Cazy family name or EC number. In addition, genomes can be searched using the NCBI TaxID. This search can be complemented by Google-based searches on the CAZy site.

https://www.sanger.ac.uk/collaboration/sequencing-idd-regions-nod-mouse-genome/

Genetic variations associated with type 1 diabetes identified by sequencing regions of the non-obese diabetic (NOD) mouse genome and comparing them with the same areas of a diabetes-resistant C57BL/6J reference mouse allowing identification of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) or other genomic variations putatively associated with diabetes in mice. Finished clones from the targeted insulin-dependent diabetes (Idd) candidate regions are displayed in the NOD clone sequence section of the website, where they can be downloaded either as individual clone sequences or larger contigs that make up the accession golden path (AGP). All sequences are publicly available via the International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration. Two NOD mouse BAC libraries were constructed and the BAC ends sequenced. Clones from the DIL NOD BAC library constructed by RIKEN Genomic Sciences Centre (Japan) in conjunction with the Diabetes and Inflammation Laboratory (DIL) (University of Cambridge) from the NOD/MrkTac mouse strain are designated DIL. Clones from the CHORI-29 NOD BAC library constructed by Pieter de Jong (Children's Hospital, Oakland, California, USA) from the NOD/ShiLtJ mouse strain are designated CHORI-29. All NOD mouse BAC end-sequences have been submitted to the International Nucleotide Sequence Database Consortium (INSDC), deposited in the NCBI trace archive. They have generated a clone map from these two libraries by mapping the BAC end-sequences to the latest assembly of the C57BL/6J mouse reference genome sequence. These BAC end-sequence alignments can then be visualized in the Ensembl mouse genome browser where the alignments of both NOD BAC libraries can be accessed through the Distributed Annotation System (DAS). The Mouse Genomes Project has used the Illumina platform to sequence the entire NOD/ShiLtJ genome and this should help to position unaligned BAC end-sequences to novel non-reference regions of the NOD genome. Further information about the BAC end-sequences, such as their alignment, variation data and Ensembl gene coverage, can be obtained from the NOD mouse ftp site.

http://ccr.coriell.org/Sections/Collections/NHGRI/?SsId=11

DNA samples and cell lines from fifteen populations, including the samples used for the International HapMap Project, the HapMap 3 Project and the 1000 Genomes Project (except for the CEPH samples). All of the samples were contributed with consent to broad data release and to their use in many future studies, including for extensive genotyping and sequencing, gene expression and proteomics studies, and all other types of genetic variation research. NHGRI led the contribution of the NIH to the International HapMap Project, which developed a haplotype map of the human genome. This haplotype map, called the HapMap is a publicly available tool that allows researchers to find genes and genetic variations that affect health and disease. The samples from four populations used to develop the HapMap were initially housed in the Human Genetic Cell Repository of the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS). Except for the Utah CEPH samples that were in the NIGMS Repository before the initiation of the HapMap Project and remain there, the NHGRI Repository now houses all of the HapMap samples. The NHGRI repository also houses the extended set of HapMap samples, which includes additional samples from the HapMap populations and samples from seven additional populations. All of the samples were collected with extensive community engagement, including discussions with members of the donor communities about the ethical and social implications of human genetic variation research. These samples were studied as part of the HapMap 3 Project. The NHGRI repository also houses the samples for the International 1000 Genomes Project. This Project is lightly sequencing genome-wide 2500 samples from 27 populations. This project aims to provide a detailed map of human genetic variation, including common and rare SNPs and structural variants. This map will allow more precise localization of genomic regions that contribute to health and disease. The 1000 Genomes Project includes many of the samples from the HapMap and extended set of HapMap samples, as well as samples being collected from additional populations. Currently, samples from five additional populations are available; the others will become available during 2011 and 2012. No identifying or phenotypic information is available for the samples. Donors gave broad consent for use of the samples, including for genotyping, sequencing, and cellular phenotype studies. Samples collected from other populations for the study of human genetic variation may be added to the collection in the future. The NHGRI Repository distributes high quality lymphoblastoid cell lines and DNA from the samples to researchers. DNA is provided in plates or panels of 70 to 100 samples or as individual samples. Cell cultures and DNA samples are distributed only to qualified professional persons who are associated with recognized research, medical, educational, or industrial organizations engaged in health-related research or health delivery.

http://www.cdc.gov/genomics/hugenet/default.htm

Human Genome Epidemiology Network, or HuGENet, 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. Its goals include: establishing an information exchange that promotes global collaboration in developing peer-reviewed information on the relationship between human genomic variation and health and on the quality of genetic tests for screening and prevention; providing training and technical assistance to researchers and practitioners interested in assessing the role of human genomic variation on population health and how such information can be used in practice; developing an updated and accessible knowledge base on the World Wide Web; and promoting the use of this knowledge base by health care providers, researchers, industry, government, and the public for making decisions involving the use of genetic information for disease prevention and health promotion. HuGENet collaborators come from multiple disciplines such as epidemiology, genetics, clinical medicine, policy, public health, education, and biomedical sciences. Currently, there are 4 HuGENet Coordinating Centers for the implementation of HuGENet activities: CDC''s Office of Public Health Genomics, Atlanta, Georgia; HuGENet UK Coordinating Center, Cambridge, UK; University of Ioannina, Greece; University of Ottawa , Ottawa, Canada. HuGENet includes: HuGE e-Journal Club: The HuGE e-Journal Club is an electronic discussion forum where new human genome epidemiologic (HuGE) findings, published in the scientific literature in the CDC''s Office of Public Health Genomics Weekly Update, will be abstracted, summarized, presented, and discussed via a newly created HuGENet listserv. HuGE Reviews: A HuGE Review identifies human genetic variations at one or more loci, and describes what is known about the frequency of these variants in different populations, identifies diseases that these variants are associated with and summarizes the magnitude of risks and associated risk factors, and evaluates associated genetic tests. Reviews point to gaps in existing epidemiologic and clinical knowledge, thus stimulating further research in these areas. HuGE Fact Sheets: HuGE Fact Sheets summarize information about a particular gene, its variants, and associated diseases. HuGE Case Studies: An on-line presentation designed to sharpen your epidemiological skills and enhance your knowledge on genomic variation and human diseases. Its purpose is to train health professionals in the practical application of human genome epidemiology (HuGE), which translates gene discoveries to disease prevention by integrating population-based data on gene-disease relationships and interventions. Students will acquire conceptual and practical tools for critically evaluating the growing scientific literature in specific disease areas. HUGENet Publications: Articles related to the HuGENet movement written by our HuGENet collaborators. HuGE Navigator: An integrated, searchable 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. HuGE Workshops: HuGENet has sponsored meetings and workshops with national and international partners since 2001. Available are detailed summaries, agendas or the ability to download speaker slides. HuGE Book: Human Genome Epidemiology: A Scientific Foundation for Using Genetic Information to Improve Health and Prevent Disease. (The findings and conclusions in this book are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily represent the views of the funding agency.) HuGENet Collaborators: HuGENet is interested in establishing collaborations with individuals and organizations working on population based research involving genetic information. HuGE Funding: Funding opportunities for specific population-based genetic epidemiology research projects are available. Research initiatives whose aims include assessing the prevalence of human genetic variation, the association between genetic variants and human diseases, the measurement of gene-gene or gene-environment interaction, and the evaluation of genetic tests for screening and prevention are compiled to create a posted listing.
