SilkDB Resource Report Resource Website 100+ mentions |
SilkDB (RRID:SCR_007926) | data or information resource, database | THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented May 10, 2017. A pilot effort that has developed a centralized, web-based biospecimen locator that presents biospecimens collected and stored at participating Arizona hospitals and biospecimen banks, which are available for acquisition and use by researchers. Researchers may use this site to browse, search and request biospecimens to use in qualified studies. The development of the ABL was guided by the Arizona Biospecimen Consortium (ABC), a consortium of hospitals and medical centers in the Phoenix area, and is now being piloted by this Consortium under the direction of ABRC. You may browse by type (cells, fluid, molecular, tissue) or disease. Common data elements decided by the ABC Standards Committee, based on data elements on the National Cancer Institute''s (NCI''s) Common Biorepository Model (CBM), are displayed. These describe the minimum set of data elements that the NCI determined were most important for a researcher to see about a biospecimen. The ABL currently does not display information on whether or not clinical data is available to accompany the biospecimens. However, a requester has the ability to solicit clinical data in the request. Once a request is approved, the biospecimen provider will contact the requester to discuss the request (and the requester''s questions) before finalizing the invoice and shipment. The ABL is available to the public to browse. In order to request biospecimens from the ABL, the researcher will be required to submit the requested required information. Upon submission of the information, shipment of the requested biospecimen(s) will be dependent on the scientific and institutional review approval. Account required. Registration is open to everyone.. Documented on August 20,2019.A database of integrated genome resources for the silkworm, Bombyx mori. This database provides access to not only genomic data including functional annotation of genes, gene products and chromosomal mapping, but also extensive biological information such as microarray expression data, ESTs and corresponding references. SilkDB will be useful for the silkworm research community as well as comparative genomics. Recently, an international collaboration has been launched to assemble a complete silkworm genome sequence, which is based on the 6� and 3� draft genome sequences created by Chinese group and Japanese group in 2004 (Mita et al., 2004; Xia et al., 2004), respectively. The genome assembly quality has been greatly improved. Base on a high density SNP genetic map, over 80% of genome sequence could be mapped on 28 chromosomes of the silkworm. The first version of SilkDB was released in 2004. Since that time, the silkworm has become a focus in insect research community and the study of silkworm has been greatly accelerated. Now, we are happy to announce the release of a new version of SilkDB, which updated all of the data, added new information of genome sequence and genes, and provides new tools to facilitate use of the genome database. | bio.tools |

Athena (RRID:SCR_008110) | data or information resource, database | Athena is a web-based application that warehouses disparate datatypes related to the control of gene expression. Athena provides several features to enable exploration of the regulatory mechanisms of Arabidopsis gene control. The first main tool we provide is visualization of promoter domains of selected genes. Database crossreference for these transcription factors is provided as well as a statistical test for enrichment of binding activity within the set of selected promoters. The data mining tools in Athena allow for selection of sets of genes based on two different factors. -Genes can be select by specifying a set of binding factors whose putative sites must be present within all of those genes'' promoter regions. -Alternatively, genes can be selected using Gene Ontology annotations. Both GO (Gene Ontology) Slim terms and Gene Ontology terms are available. One can select a set of genes by either choosing a union of the genes annotated by a selected set of Slim terms or Gene Ontology terms. The selected gene''s putative binding factors are listed, including enrichment data. Furthermore, enriched presence of Gene Ontology terms is given. The analysis suite provides both enhanced data mining tools for selecting genes as well as several data displays., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE.

LitMiner Resource Report Resource Website 1+ mentions |
LitMiner (RRID:SCR_008200) | data or information resource, database | THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented August 23, 2016. The LitMiner software is a literature data-mining tool that facilitates the identification of major gene regulation key players related to a user-defined field of interest in PubMed abstracts. The prediction of gene-regulatory relationships is based on co-occurrence analysis of key terms within the abstracts. LitMiner predicts relationships between key terms from the biomedical domain in four categories (genes, chemical compounds, diseases and tissues). The usefulness of the LitMiner system has been demonstrated recently in a study that reconstructed disease-related regulatory networks by promoter modeling that was initiated by a LitMiner generated primary gene list. To overcome the limitations and to verify and improve the data, we developed WikiGene, a Wiki-based curation tool that allows revision of the data by expert users over the Internet. It is based on the annotation of key terms in article abstracts followed by statistical co-citation analysis of annotated key terms in order to predict relationships. Key terms belonging to four different categories are used for the annotation process: -Genes: Names of genes and gene products. Gene name recognition is based on Ensembl . Synonyms and aliases are resolved. -Chemical Compounds: Names of chemical compounds and their respective aliases. -Diseases and Phenotypes: Names of diseases and phenotypes -Tissues and Organs: Names of tissues and organs LitMiner uses a database of disease and phenotype terms for literature annotation. Currently, there are 2225 diseases or phenotypes, 801 tissues and organs, and 10477 compounds in the database. | gene, biomedical, chemical, compound, disease, identification, literature, medline interfaces, mining, modeling, phenotype, promoter, regulation, regulatory, relationship, tissue, tool, bio.tools |

VBASE2 (RRID:SCR_007082) | VBASE2 | analysis service resource, data analysis service, data or information resource, database, production service resource, service resource | Integrative database of germ-line V genes from the immunoglobulin loci of human and mouse. It presents V gene sequences extracted from the EMBL nucleotide sequence database and Ensembl together with links to the respective source sequences. Based on the properties of the source sequences, V genes are classified into 3 different classes: * Class 1: genomic and rearranged evidence * Class 2: genomic evidence only * Class 3: rearranged evidence only This allows careful sequence quality validation by the user. References to other immunological databases ( KABAT, IMGT/LIGM and VBASE ) are given to provide all public annotation data for each V gene. The VBASE2 database can be accessed either by the Direct Query interface or by the DNAPLOT Query interface. The Sequences given by the user are aligned with DNAPLOT against the VBASE2 database. Direct Query allows to enter sequence IDs and names (Field 1), choose species, locus, V gene family and class (Field 2) or search for 100% sequences (Field 3). At the DNAPLOT Query, the sequences given by the user are aligned with DNAPLOT against the VBASE2 database. The DNAPLOT program offers V gene nucleotide sequence alignment referring to the IMGT V gene unique numbering. The Quick Search can be used either for Direct Query to search for sequence IDs and V gene names or for DNAPLOT Query for up to 5 sequences. The new Fab Analysis allows you to align Fab, scFab, scAb or scFv sequences with DNAPLOT against the VBASE2 database, where both heavy and light chain are analyzed. | v gene sequence, v gene, gene, dna, sequence, bio.tools, FASEB list |

Gene3D Resource Report Resource Website 100+ mentions |
Gene3D (RRID:SCR_007672) | Gene3D | data access protocol, data or information resource, data repository, database, service resource, software resource, storage service resource, web service | A large database of CATH protein domain assignments for ENSEMBL genomes and Uniprot sequences. Gene3D is a resource of form studying proteins and the component domains. Gene3D takes CATH domains from Protein Databank (PDB) structures and assigns them to the millions of protein sequences with no PDB structures using Hidden Markov models. Assigning a CATH superfamily to a region of a protein sequence gives information on the gross 3D structure of that region of the protein. CATH superfamilies have a limited set of functions and so the domain assignment provides some functional insights. Furthermore most proteins have several different domains in a specific order, so looking for proteins with a similar domain organization provides further functional insights. Strict confidence cut-offs are used to ensure the reliability of the domain assignments. Gene3D imports functional information from sources such as UNIPROT, and KEGG. They also import experimental datasets on request to help researchers integrate there data with the corpus of the literature. The website allows users to view descriptions for both single proteins and genes and large protein sets, such as superfamilies or genomes. Subsets can then be selected for detailed investigation or associated functions and interactions can be used to expand explorations to new proteins. The Gene3D web services provide programmatic access to the CATH-Gene3D annotation resources and in-house software tools. These services include Gene3DScan for identifying structural domains within protein sequences, access to pre-calculated annotations for the major sequence databases, and linked functional annotation from UniProt, GO and KEGG., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE.

eTBlast (RRID:SCR_008188) | eTBlast | data or information resource, database, narrative resource, service resource | eTBLAST is a unique search engine for searching biomedical literature. Our service is very different from PubMed. While PubMed searches for keywords, our search engine lets you input an entire paragraph and returns MEDLINE abstracts that are similar to it. This is something like PubMed''s Related Articles feature, only better because it runs on your unique set of interests. For example, input the abstract of an unpublished paper or a grant proposal into our engine, and with the touch of a button you''ll be able to find every abstract in MEDLINE dealing with your topic. No more guessing whether your set of keywords has found all the right papers. No more sorting through hundreds of papers you don''t care about to find the handful you were looking for--our search engine does it for you. When most people use PubMed to search MEDLINE they pick one or two keywords to describe their topic, then browse through a long list of results. When they find a paper that looks interesting they click on its Related Articles, in hopes of finding more papers like that one. If they find another relevant paper, they explore it''s related articles--and so on. This process of culling long lists of documents by hand makes literature searching tedious and time consuming. We make it easier for you by providing better results the first time, and then allowing you to automatically combine the papers you care about for a second round. Our Iterate feature allows you to checkmark the abstracts you found interesting in the first round and combine them all to create a new query. It''s like rolling several Related Articles lists into one. * We sort our results by relevance, while PubMed sorts by date. * We save you the time and effort of creating a complicated query. * We let you iterate your search over several good papers to narrow your focus. * We provide you the full MEDLINE abstract in our results, and a link to the PubMed page. * We can send your results straight to your email so you never lose a reference or forget where you found it. * This absolutely free service is provided by the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center.
