http://modencode.org/

A comprehensive encyclopedia of genomic functional elements in the model organisms C. elegans and D. melanogaster. modENCODE is run as a Research Network and the consortium is formed by 11 primary projects, divided between worm and fly, spanning the domains of gene structure, mRNA and ncRNA expression profiling, transcription factor binding sites, histone modifications and replacement, chromatin structure, DNA replication initiation and timing, and copy number variation. The raw and interpreted data from this project is vetted by a data coordinating center (DCC) to ensure consistency and completeness. The entire modENCODE data corpus is now available on the Amazon Web Services EC2 cloud. What this means is that virtual machines and virtual compute clusters that you run within the EC2 cloud can mount the modENCODE data set in whole or in part. Your software can run analyses against the data files directly without experiencing the long waits and logistics associated with copying the datasets over to your local hardware. You may also view the data using GBrowse, Dataset Search, or download the data via FTP, as well as download pre-release datasets.

The Hannon laboratory comprises a broad spectrum of programs in small RNA biology, mammalian genetics and genomics. We study RNAi and related pathways in a wide variety of organisms to extract common themes that define both the mechanisms by which small RNAs act and the biological processes which they impact. Currently, we focus on microRNAs, endogenous siRNAs and piRNAs and their roles in gene regulation, cancer biology, stem cell biology and in defense of the genome against transposons. In collaboration with Steve Elledge (Harvard) and Scott Lowe (CSHL), we develop genome-wide shRNA tools for RNAi-based genetics in mammalian cells, and we are now producing similar collections of artificial microRNAs for Arabidopsis with Detlef Weigel (MPI), Dick McCombie (CSHL) and Rob Martienssen (CSHL) as part of the 2010 project (see 2010.cshl.edu). Our genomic efforts include the application of RNAi-based genetic screens to cancer biology and stem cells. We also make heavy use of next generation sequencing methodologies for probing small RNA populations, in part as a member of the ENCODE consortium (with Tom Gingeras, CSHL). Finally, we develop (with Dick McCombie) and apply focal re-sequencing methods for identifying disease relevant mutations, for probing the epigenetic landscape and for the study of human evolution.

http://www.knockoutmouse.org/about/eucommtools

Functional Annotation of the Mouse Genome, it will complete the International Knockout Mouse Consortium (IKMC) resource of mutations for all protein coding genes. Furthermore, it will maximize the utility of the conditional IKMC resource by generating up to 250 different, mostly inducible Cre driver mouse lines. In addition, EUCOMMTOOLS will develop novel tools to enhance the versatility of the IKMC resource. EUCOMMTOOLS vectors, mutant ES cells and mutant mice are distributed worldwide: EUCOMMTOOLS mutant ES cells and vectors can be obtained from the European Mouse Mutant Cell Repository (EuMMCR). EUCOMMTOOLS mutant mice are archived and distributed by the European Mouse Mutant Archive (EMMA). Knockout-first Mutant Alleles: EUCOMMTOOLS will create 3500 C57Bl/6 conditional mutant alleles for single-exon (or otherwise previously conditionally untargeted) protein-coding mouse genes. These alleles will be made predominantly by introducing an "artificial intron", containing a standard EUCOMM promoter-driven targeting cassette, into the coding sequence of the single-exon gene. Cre Resources: EUCOMMTOOLS will engineer 500 new Cre C57Bl/6 ES cell lines by Cre knock-ins into genes with useful expression patterns. The resource will be made with inducible forms of Cre recombinase such as CreERT2. Up to 250 lines of Cre driver mice on a pure C57Bl/6N background will be generated and the Cre expression patterns documented and annotated in day P14 and P56. These mice will form a matched Cre driver resource for C57Bl/6N mice produced from conditional IKMC resources. Research, Technology and Complementary Reagents: EUCOMMTOOLS will develop novel technologies to add value, depth and flexibility to existing IKMC ES cell and mouse resources. Key areas include: * Development of novel recombinase based regulatory switches * Exploration of zinc-finger nuclease stimulated homologous recombination strategies in fertilized oocytes * Development and validation of complementary modular vector reagents which enable the construction of new useful knock-in alleles such as fluorescent and other reporters, site specific recombinases, and mutant cDNAs. These novel alleles can be constructed either by re-utilizing existing IKMC modular vector resources or directly modifying existing targeted IKMC ES cell lines by RMCE.

http://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Blast.cgi?PROGRAM=blastx&BLAST_PROGRAMS=blastx&PAGE_TYPE=BlastSearch&SHOW_DEFAULTS=on&LINK_LOC=blasthome

Web application to search protein databases using a translated nucleotide query. Translated BLAST services are useful when trying to find homologous proteins to a nucleotide coding region. Blastx compares translational products of the nucleotide query sequence to a protein database. Because blastx translates the query sequence in all six reading frames and provides combined significance statistics for hits to different frames, it is particularly useful when the reading frame of the query sequence is unknown or it contains errors that may lead to frame shifts or other coding errors. Thus blastx is often the first analysis performed with a newly determined nucleotide sequence and is used extensively in analyzing EST sequences. This search is more sensitive than nucleotide blast since the comparison is performed at the protein level.

A public curated compilation of allele frequency data on anthropologically defined human population samples linked to the molecular genetics-human genome databases. Only data on well defined population samples that are large enough to yield reasonably accurate frequencies and for polymorphisms sufficiently defined to be replicable can be included in ALFRED. Researchers wishing to have their data entered into ALFRED should contact them. Initially, ALFRED contained primarily data generated in the laboratories of K.K. and J.R. Kidd in the Department of Genetics at Yale, including extensive unpublished data. Data from the published literature are being entered into ALFRED in a systematic way, with a focus on polymorphisms studied in many different populations. ALFRED is distinct from such databases as dbSNP, which catalogs sequence variation. ALFRED's focus is on allele frequencies in diverse anthropologically defined populations. It is not a compendium of human DNA polymorphisms but of frequencies of selected polymorphisms with an emphasis on those that have been studied in multiple populations. All of the data in ALFRED are considered to be in the public domain and available for use in research and teaching. ALFRED provides easy searching options including versatile "Keyword search" and also has numerous summary tables providing quick overviews of contents by chromosome, population, average heterozygosity, Fst and others, all available under various tabs from the ALFRED homepage.
