The Peptide Sequence Database contains putative peptide sequences from human, mouse, rat, and zebrafish. Compressed to eliminate redundancy, these are about 40 fold smaller than a brute force enumeration. Current and old releases are available for download. Each species'' peptide sequence database comprises peptide sequence data from releveant species specific UniGene and IPI clusters, plus all sequences from their consituent EST, mRNA and protein sequence databases, namely RefSeq proteins and mRNAs, UniProt''s SwissProt and TrEMBL, GenBank mRNA, ESTs, and high-throughput cDNAs, HInv-DB, VEGA, EMBL, IPI protein sequences, plus the enumeration of all combinations of UniProt sequence variants, Met loss PTM, and signal peptide cleavages. The README file contains some information about the non amino-acid symbols O (digest site corresponding to a protein N- or C-terminus) and J (no digest sequence join) used in these peptide sequence databases and information about how to configure various search engines to use them. Some search engines handle (very) long sequences badly and in some cases must be patched to use these peptide sequence databases. All search engines supported by the PepArML meta-search engine can (or can be patched to) successfully search these peptide sequence databases.

This database is intended as a comprehensive resource for UTR (Untranslated Region) biology in C. elegans. The database provides detailed information on UTR structures for all protein-coding mRNAs, and includes annotations extracted from other databases (such as WormBase and PicTar) as well as new annotations generated as part of the NYU UTRome project (including preliminary characterization of UTR clones, USTs (UTR sequence tags), curated sequences, and computational and experimental analysis of functional elements). Examples of functional elements within UTRs include predicted and validated microRNA (miRNA) binding sites (responsible for post-transcriptional gene regulation), putative consensus signals for polyA addition, and predicted secondary structures (which may influence the biological activity of UTRs). The UTRome project is part of the ModEncode Consortium, an NIH initiative to characterize at a genomic scale functional sequence elements encoded in the worm (C. elegans) and fly (D. melanogaster) genomes. UTRs are important portions of mRNAs required for post-transcriptional regulation by interacting with proteins or non-coding RNAs (e.g. microRNAs). To study the role of UTRs we are building a UTR database for C. elegans.

Profiling of Complex Functionality (ProfCom) is a web-based tool for the functional interpretation of a gene list that was identified to be related by experiments. A trait which makes ProfCom a unique tool is an ability to profile enrichments of not only available Gene Ontology (GO) terms but also of complex function. A complex function is constructed as Boolean combination of available GO terms. The complex functions inferred by ProfCom are more specific in comparison to single terms and describe more accurately the functional role of genes. Platform: Online tool

http://pidfinder.appspot.com/

PIDFinder is a tool for the exploration of the Primary Immunodeficiency Disease Ontology. Apart from browsing the knowledge contained in the ontology, it can also be used for the identification of PIDs based on a set of observed Phenotypes. The PidFinder web application is a developing prototype application that allows non-bioinformaticians to quickly view and use the knowledge contained in the Primary Immunodeficiency Disease Ontology. The application consists of a number of components: * The PIDFinder: allows the selection of a set of phenotypes and subsequently compares the set with the canonical set of phenotypes defined in the PID Ontology. The phenotypes, that can be selected are grouped by biomarker and are thus available in a number of different facets. Once phenotypes have been selected, the application compares them to canonical phenotypes associated with PIDs in the PID Ontology, by computing a semantic similarity measure. The similarity is determined using a Tanimoto Distance - the more closely related an observed phenotype is to a canonical ontology phenotype, the closer the calculated Tanimoto Distance is to 1 - with increasing dissimilarity, the Tanimoto Coefficient tends towards 0. * The Phenotype Explorer: a rudimentary browser for phenotypes currently contained in the PID Ontology. The browser allows the user to find phenotypes based on biomarker categories and provides some basic definitions (not all definitions are available at this stage) and disease association information. * A Heatmap comparing the phenotypic overlap of PIDs: In essence, the heatmap is a many-to-many comparison of the phenotypic overlap between all Primary Immunodeficiency Diseases contained in the PID Ontology. Again, overlap is calculated using a Tanimoto Distance. The heatmap is a matrix, plotting the Tanimoto coefficients for every PID/PID pair. Increased off-diagonal overlap between PIDs most likely indicates genes in the same pathway. * A Phenotype Frequency Visualization: The phenotype frequency visualization is a simple bar chart indicating how often a particular phenotype is associated with a Primary Immunodeficiency Disease in the Ontology. * A PID Expert map: All of the phenotypes and knowledge contained in the Primary Immunodeficiency Disease Ontology has been extracted from primary clinical or research literature. To construct the map, we have extracted the affiliations and locations of the authors of the literature sources and overlayed them on a map. The hope is that this will facilitate the identification of (local) experts on primary immunodeficiency diseases.

GOtcha provides a prediction of a set of GO terms that can be associated with a given query sequence. Each term is scored independently and the scores calibrated against reference searches to give an accurate percentage likelihood of correctness. These results can be displayed graphically. Why is GOtcha different to what is already out there and why should you be using it? * GOtcha uses a method where it combines information from many search hits, up to and including E-values that are normally discarded. This gives much better sensitivity than other methods. * GOtcha provides a score for each individual term, not just the leaf term or branch. This allows the discrimination between confident assignments that one would find at a more general level and the more specific terms that one would have lower confidence in. * The scores GOtcha provides are calibrated to give a real estimate of correctness. This is expressed as a percentage, giving a result that non-experts are comfortable in interpreting. * GOtcha provides graphical output that gives an overview of the confidence in, or potential alternatives for, particular GO term assignments. The tool is currently web-based; contact David Martin for details of the standalone version. Platform: Online tool

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE,documented on January,18, 2022. FaceBase Biorepository is now collecting biological samples from people with cleft lip/palate and their family members. Information for Prospective Cases: Clefts of the lip and/or palate can be caused by a wide range of genetic, environmental and other factors. The FaceBase Biorepository will serve as a common source of both biological samples and information that can be made available to investigators trying to determine the underlying cause of these common birth defects. Genetic studies, in particular, will benefit from both family history information and having samples from affected individuals as well as their family members. DNA is the information containing molecules found in all the cells of our body and can be easily obtained from material such as blood or saliva samples. As part of the FaceBase Biorepository, we are requesting families to submit biological samples from specific family members as well as information from other family members that might be affected with either the same condition or a similar condition. The medical and family history information that is collected includes other relevant information such as exposure to possible environmental causes during pregnancy. The biorepository is managed by Nichole Nidey, a research study coordinator, and Jeff Murray, a pediatric clinical geneticist and researcher. They are available to speak with family members regarding questions they may have, including providing information about the biorepository and making arrangements for the collection of samples for those who wish to participate. All participation is voluntary. Your name or other personally identifiable information (name, address, etc) will be removed before information is placed in the biorepository. Summary data to show how the database itself has been used overall as well as updates on whether specific findings might have been made using this database will be available on the FaceBase website at www.facebase.org. A newsletter containing this information will also be given to families and referring clinicians so that they may discuss the specifics with the families if there appears to be information that might be relevant in a particular case. Families will also need to sign a consent form that has been approved by the Institutional Review Board at the University of Iowa. Also, any submitted samples or data can also be removed from the database at any time should the family no longer wish to participate. Investigators interested in requesting DNA samples or for more information, please contact cleftresearch (at) uiowa.edu, Nichole Nidey, nichole-nidey (at) uiowa.edu or (319) 353-4365, or Jeff Murray, jeff-murray (at) uiowa.edu.
