http://www.semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Semantic_MediaWiki

A free, open-source extension to MediaWiki - the wiki software that powers Wikipedia - that helps to search, organize, tag, browse, evaluate, and share the wiki''s content. While traditional wikis contain only text which computers can neither understand nor evaluate, SMW adds semantic annotations that allow a wiki to function as a collaborative database. Semantic MediaWiki introduces some additional markup into the wiki-text which allows users to add semantic annotations to the wiki. While this first appears to make things more complex, it can also greatly simplify the structure of the wiki, help users to find more information in less time, and improve the overall quality and consistency of the wiki. A large number of related extensions have been created that extend the ability to edit, display and browse through the data stored by SMW: the term Semantic MediaWiki is sometimes used to refer to this entire family of extensions.

http://stormo.wustl.edu/ScerTF

Catalog of over 1,200 position weight matrices (PWMs) for 196 different yeast transcription factors (TFs). They've curated 11 literature sources, benchmarked the published position-specific scoring matrices against in-vivo TF occupancy data and TF deletion experiments, and combined the most accurate models to produce a single collection of the best performing weight matrices for Saccharomyces cerevisiae. ScerTF is useful for a wide range of problems, such as linking regulatory sites with transcription factors, identifying a transcription factor based on a user-input matrix, finding the genes bound/regulated by a particular TF, and finding regulatory interactions between transcription factors. Enter a TF name to find the recommended matrix for a particular TF, or enter a nucleotide sequence to identify all TFs that could bind a particular region.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on August 19,2019. Analyzing protein structure projection on exon-intron structure of corresponding gene through years led to several fundamental conclusions about structural and functional organization of the protein. According to these results we decided to map the protein functional sites. So we created the database SitEx that keep the information about this mapping and included the BLAST search and 3D similar structure search using PDB3DScan for the polypeptide encoded by one exon, participating in organizing the functional site. This will help: # to study the positions of the functional sites in exon structure; # to make the complex analysis of the protein function; # to exposure the exons that took part in exon shuffling and came from bacterial genomes; # to study the peculiarities of coding the polypeptide structures. Currently, SitEx contains information about 9994 functional sites presented in 2021 proteins described in proteomes of 17 organisms.

Database for protein structural change upon ligand binding that are classified into 7 classes in terms of the ligand binding sites and the location where the dominant motion occurs. # Coupled Domain motions are the domain motions induced upon ligand binding. # Independent Domain motions are the observable domain motions regardless of ligand binding. # Coupled Local motions are the local motions induced upon ligand binding. # Independent Local motions are the observable local motions regardless of ligand binding. # Burying ligand motions are imaginable motions required to hold ligand protein-inside. # No significant motions mean just nothing happen. # Other motions are motions unclassified into domain and local motions. Proteins are flexible molecules that undergo structural changes to function. The Protein Data Bank contains multiple entries for identical proteins determined under different conditions, e.g. with and without a ligand molecule, which provides important information for understanding the structural changes related to protein functions. We gathered 839 protein structural pairs of ligand-free and ligand-bound states from monomeric or homo-dimeric proteins, and constructed the Protein Structural Change DataBase (PSCDB). In the database, we focused on whether the motions were coupled with ligand binding. As a result, the protein structural changes were classified into seven classes, i.e. coupled domain motion (59 structural changes), independent domain motion (70), coupled local motion (125), independent local motion (135), burying ligand motion (104), no significant motion (311) and other type motion (35). PSCDB provides lists of each class. On each entry page, users can view detailed information about the motion, accompanied by a morphing animation of the structural changes.

https://compbio.dfci.harvard.edu/predictivenetworks//

A flexible, open-source, web-based application and data services framework that enables the integration, navigation, visualization and analysis of gene interaction networks. The primary goal of PN is to allow biomedical researchers to evaluate experimentally derived gene lists in the context of large-scale gene interaction networks. The PN analytical pipeline involves two key steps. The first is the collection of a comprehensive set of known gene interactions derived from a variety of publicly available sources. The second is to use these ''known'' interactions together with gene expression data to infer robust gene networks. The regression-based network inference algorithm creates a graph of gene interactions in which cycles may be present (but no self-loops). Based on information-theoretic techniques, a causal gene interaction network is inferred from both prior knowledge (interactions extracted from biomedical literature and structured biological databases) and gene expression data. A prediction model is fitted for each gene, given its parents, enabling assessment of the predictive ability of the network model.

http://pathogenseq.lshtm.ac.uk/estmoi

A per-based software to estimate multiplicity of infection (MOI) in parasite genomic sequence data. It is primarily developed to address the limitations of current laboratory (PCR) based estimates of multiplicity using high throughput sequence data. It requires a BAM (alignment output of short reads to the reference genome), VCF (a file with information on variant calls) and FASTA (reference genome) files. # Short reads are aligned to a reference genome using BWA, BOWTIE, SMALT or other short read aligners to generate a BAM file. # Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) are then identified using SAMTools/BCFtools and stored in the VCF format. # The reference FASTA file is expected to be indexed using ''samtools faidx'' to generate a *.fai file. estMOI generates files containing MOI estimates for each SNP combinations (file with name *.log) and a summary for all chromosomes (file with name *.txt).

http://cnas.ucr.edu/guppy/

A project that observes the processes of adaptive evolution in nature, and tests evolutionary hypotheses, by studying populations of guppies on the Caribbean island of Trinidad. Darwin thought that evolution by natural selection occurred very slowly, over hundreds if not thousands of years. Evolutionary biologists now know that evolutionary changes in species can happen very quickly, over a relatively few generations. The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Integrative Biological Research (FIBR) program, is funding a 5-year study by 13 biologists from colleges, universities, and research institutions throughout the United States and Canada, to study the relationship of adaptive evolution and environmental circumstances. The Trinidadian guppy (Poecilia reticulata) is an excellent species for these purposes because: * It matures rapidly (one generation = 3-4 months) * It inhabits different ecological environments that can be easily manipulated On Trinidad, guppies live in streams, or portions of streams, that can differ in the species of predators that the guppies have to contend with. Some streams are high-predation environments, others low-predation. Different predation environments are often right next to one another, separated by a waterfall (which neither guppies nor predators can cross). Guppies from high-predation environments experience much higher mortality rates than do guppies in low-predation environments. High mortality is associated with the following characteristics, all of which have a genetic basis: * Earlier maturity * Greater investment of resources in reproduction * More and smaller offspring. We have found that mortality rates can be manipulated by: * Transplanting guppies from high-predation localities into sites from which they and their predators had previously been excluded by natural waterfalls, thus lowering mortality rates; * Introducing predators into low-predation sites, thus increasing mortality rates. Such experiments have shown that species evolve as predicted by theory. We have also found that evolution by natural selection can be remarkably fast, on the order of four to seven orders of magnitude faster than had been inferred from the fossil record.

https://www.infrafrontier.eu/emma/

Non-profit repository for the collection, archiving (via cryopreservation) and distribution of relevant mutant strains essential for basic biomedical research. Users may browse by strain, gene, phenotype, or human disease. Its primary objective is to establish and manage a unified repository for maintaining medically relevant mouse mutants and making them available to the scientific community. Therefore, EMMA archives mutant strains and distributes them to requesting researchers. EMMA also hosts courses in cryopreservation, to promote the use and dissemination of frozen embryos and spermatozoa. Dissemination of knowledge is further fostered by a dedicated resource database. Anybody who wants their mutant mouse strains cryopreserved may deposit strains with EMMA. However depositors must be aware that these strains become freely available to other researchers after being deposited.With more than 8400 mutant mouse strains and asmall but increasing number of rat mutant strains available, EMMA is the primary mouse repository in Europe and the third largest non-profit repository worldwide.
