Database of morphological phenotypes caused by mutation of essential genes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, it allows storing, retrieving, visualizing and data mining the quantitative single-cell measurements extracted from micrographs of the temperature-sensitive (ts) mutant cells. PhenoM allows users to rapidly search and retrieve raw images and their quantified morphological data for genes of interest. The database also provides several data-mining tools, including a PhenoBlast module for phenotypic comparison between mutant strains and a Gene Ontology module for functional enrichment analysis of gene sets showing similar morphological alterations. About one-fifth of the genes in the budding yeast are essential for haploid viability and cannot be functionally assessed using standard genetic approaches such as gene deletion. To facilitate genetic analysis of essential genes, we and others have assembled collections of yeast strains expressing temperature-sensitive (ts) alleles of essential genes. To explore the phenotypes caused by essential gene mutation we used a panel of genetically engineered fluorescent markers to explore the morphology of cells in the ts strain collection using high-throughput microscopy. The database contains quantitative measurements of 1,909,914 cells and 78,194 morphological images for 775 temperature-sensitive mutants spanning 491 different essential genes in permissive temperature (26* C) and restrictive temperature (32* C). The morphological images were generated by high-content screening (HCS) technology.

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.

http://gene3d.biochem.ucl.ac.uk/Gene3D/

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 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. No registration necessary!

An online database of curated cancer stem cell (CSC) experiments coupled to the Galaxy analytical framework. Driven by a need to improve our understanding of molecular processes that are common and unique across cancer stem cells (CSCs), the SCDE allows users to consistently describe, share and compare CSC data at the gene and pathway level. The initial focus has been on carefully curating tissue and cancer stem cell-related experiments from blood, intestine and brain to create a high quality resource containing 53 public studies and 1098 assays. The experimental information is captured and stored in the multi-omics Investigation/Study/Assay (ISA-Tab) format and can be queried in the data repository. A linked Galaxy framework provides a comprehensive, flexible environment populated with novel tools for gene list comparisons against molecular signatures in GeneSigDB and MSigDB, curated experiments in the SCDE and pathways in WikiPathways. Investigation/Study/Assay (ISA) infrastructure is the first general-purpose format and freely available desktop software suite targeted to experimentalists, curators and developers and that: * assists in the reporting and local management of experimental metadata (i.e. sample characteristics, technology and measurement types, sample-to-data relationships) from studies employing one or a combination of technologies; * empowers users to uptake community-defined minimum information checklists and ontologies, where required; * formats studies for submission to a growing number of international public repositories endorsing the tools, currently ENA (genomics), PRIDE (proteomics) and ArrayExpress (transcriptomics). Galaxy allows you to do analyses you cannot do anywhere else without the need to install or download anything. You can analyze multiple alignments, compare genomic annotations, profile metagenomic samples and much much more. Best of all, Galaxy''''s history system provides a complete analyses record that can be shared. Every history is an analysis workflow, which can be used to reproduce the entire experiment. The code for this Galaxy instance is available for download from BitBucket.

http://noble.gs.washington.edu/proj/philius/

Web server that predicts protein transmembrane topology and signal peptides. Hidden Markov models (HMM) have been successfully applied to the tasks of transmembrane protein topology prediction and signal peptide prediction. They expand upon this work by making use of the more powerful class of dynamic Bayesian networks (DBN). Their model, Philius, is inspired by a previously published HMM, Phobius, and combines a signal peptide sub-model with a transmembrane sub-model. They introduce a two-stage DBN decoder which combines the power of posterior decoding with the grammar constraints of Viterbi-style decoding. Philius also provides protein type, segment, and topology confidence metrics to aid in the interpretation of the predictions.
