A database that identifies orthologs among publicly available, complete genomes. It offers a comprehensive search and numerous display options for 4.7 million proteins from 1000 species. The main features are the orthologous relationships which can be accessed either group-wise, where all group members are orthologous to all other group members, or on a sequence-centric basis, where for a given protein all its orthologs in all other species are displayed.

It serves as a gateway for clinicians, families and researchers who have an interest in or are affected by Batten disease or who wish to find out more. Information can be accessed via four main routes - Clinicians, Families, Researchers, Professional Support. The Clinical route describes Batten disease and includes details on diagnosis and diagnostic services. The Family route also describes Batten disease and lists support groups. The Research route includes the NCL Mutation Database, established in 1998, and other useful information. The Professional Support route includes details of coordinated initiatives to support those affected by Batten disease. A fifth route, Research Consortia, serves to meet research needs and currently act as a focus for collaborative efforts to identify the remaining human and animal NCL genes and facilitate functional approaches. An additional route, Creativity, has been launched to display creative items from families with Batten disease, and to celebrate life, in both its fullness and fragility.

Material Safety Data Sheets for chemical products are available to laboratory workers for most chemicals and reagents. However because many laboratory workers, whether in research, public health, teaching, etc., are exposed to not only chemicals but infectious substances as well, there was a large gap in the readily available safety literature for employees. These MSDS are produced for personnel working in the life sciences as quick safety reference material relating to infectious micro-organisms. The MSDS are organized to contain health hazard information such as infectious dose, viability (including decontamination), medical information, laboratory hazard, recommended precautions, handling information and spill procedures. The intent of these documents is to provide a safety resource for laboratory personnel working with these infectious substances. Because these workers are usually working in a scientific setting and are potentially exposed to much higher concentrations of these human pathogens than the general public, the terminology in these MSDS is technical and detailed, containing information that is relevant specifically to the laboratory setting. It is hoped along with good laboratory practices, these MSDS will help provide a safer, healthier environment for everyone working with infectious substances. The MSDS is ran by the Public Health Agency of Canada. The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) is the main Government of Canada agency responsible for public health in Canada. PHACs primary goal is to strengthen Canadas capacity to protect and improve the health of Canadians and to help reduce pressures on the health-care system. To do this, the Agency is working to build an effective public health system that enables Canadians to achieve better health and well-being in their daily lives by promoting good health, helping prevent and control chronic diseases and injury, and protecting Canadians from infectious diseases and other threats to their health. PHAC is also committed to reducing health disparities between the most advantaged and disadvantaged Canadians. Because public health is a shared responsibility, the Public Health Agency of Canada works in close collaboration with all levels of government (provincial, territorial and municipal) to build on each others skills and strengths. The Agency also works closely with non-government organizations, including civil society and business, and other countries and international organizations like the World Health Organization (WHO) to share knowledge, expertise and experiences.

A database of ingredients in brand-name household products linked to health information from Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) provided by manufacturers. The database is designed to help answer the following typical questions: *What are the chemical ingredients and their percentage in specific brands? *Which products contain specific chemical ingredients? *Who manufactures a specific brand? How do I contact this manufacturer? *What are the acute and chronic effects of chemical ingredients in a specific brand? *What other information is available about chemicals in the toxicology-related databases of the National Library of Medicine? NLM and its Contractor (the Database Providers) do not test products nor investigate to determine if this information is complete or accurate.

http://www.fugu-sg.org/

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE,documented on August 16, 2019. Fugu genome is among the smallest vertebrate genomes and has proved to be a valuable reference genome for identifying genes and other functional elements such as regulatory elements in the human and other vertebrate genomes, and for understanding the structure and evolution of vertebrate genomes. This site presents version 4 of the Fugu genome, released in October 2004 by the International Fugu Genome Consortium. Fugu rubripes has a very compact genome, with less than 15 consisting of dispersed repetitive sequence, which makes it ideal for gene discovery. A draft sequence of the fugu genome was determined by the International Fugu Genome Consortium in 2002 using the ''whole-genome shotgun'' sequencing strategy. Fugu is the second vertebrate genome to be sequenced, the first being the human genome. This webpage presents the annotation made on the fourth assembly by the IMCB team using the Ensembl annotation pipeline. We are continuing with the gap filling work and linking of the scaffolds to obtain super-contigs.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SEVICE. Documented on August 19,2019.It hosts records of currently available essential genes among a wide range of organisms. For prokaryotes, DEG contains essential genes in more than 10 bacteria, such as E. coli, B. subtilis, H. pylori, S. pneumoniae, M. genitalium and H. influenzae, whereas for eukaryotes, DEG contains those in yeast, humans, mice, worms, fruit flies, zebra fish and the plant A. thaliana. Users can Blast query sequences against DEG, and can also search for essential genes by their functions and names. Essential gene products comprise excellent targets for antibacterial drugs. Essential genes in a bacterium constitute a minimal genome, forming a set of functional modules, which play key roles in the emerging field, synthetic biology.

The Comparative Genometrics website displays for sequenced genomes, three different genometric analyses: the DNA walk and the GC and TA skews during the initial phase. Although primarily focused on prokaryotic chromosomes, the CG website posts genometric information on paradigm plasmids, phages, viruses, and organelles. The genometric analyses are available via phylogenetic tree or alphabetical list. It also offers small genome information, for mitochondria, chloroplasts, viruses, bacteriophages, and plasmids.

Cybase is dedicated to the study of a fascinating new class of proteins that possess a cyclic backbone in which the N and C termini have been joined with a conventional amide bond. These recently characterized molecules have now been found in organisms from all kingdoms of life and given the current rate of discovery the number of sequences could soon number in the hundreds. Research in our lab is aimed at further characterizing cyclic proteins and adapting them for commercial and medicinal use. In particular we work on a class of cyclic protein named the cyclotides. These proteins are found in the plants of the Rubiaceae and Violaceae and our specific goals include: determining the role that cyclotides play in plants, discovering the mechanism of action of the wide range of biological activities displayed by the cyclotides (including anti-HIV, anti-bacterial and insecticidal activity), characterising the genetics of the cyclotides and further discovery of novel cyclotides.
