http://gladyshevlab.org/SelenoproteinPredictionServer/

Web server to predict eukaryotic selenoproteins and SECIS (SElenoCysteine Insertion Sequences) elements along nucleotide sequences. SECISearch3 replaces its predecessor SECISearch as a tool for prediction of eukaryotic SECIS elements. Seblastian is a method for selenoprotein gene detection that uses SECISearch3 and then predicts selenoprotein sequences encoded upstream of SECIS elements. Seblastian is able to both identify known selenoproteins and predict new selenoproteins.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/tools/primer-blast/

A tool to design target-specific primers for polymerase chain reaction (PCR). It uses Primer3 to design PCR primers and then uses BLAST and global alignment algorithm to screen primers against user-selected database in order to avoid primer pairs (all combinations including forward-reverse primer pair, forward-forward as well as reverse-reverse pairs) that can cause non-specific amplifications.

http://genomequebec.mcgill.ca/PReMod

Database that describes more than 100,000 computational predicted transcriptional regulatory modules within the human genome. These modules represent the regulatory potential for 229 transcription factors families and are the first genome-wide / transcription factor-wide collection of predicted regulatory modules for the human genome. The algorithm used involves two steps: (i) Identification and scoring of putative transcription factor binding sites using 481 TRANSFAC 7.2 position weight matrices (PWMs) for vertebrate transcription factors. To this end, each non-coding position of the human genome was evaluated for its similarity to each PWM using a log-likelihood ratio score with a local GC-parameterized third-order Markov background model. Corresponding orthologous positions in mouse and rat genomes were evaluated similarly and a weighted average of the human, mouse, and rat log-likelihood scores at aligned positions (based on a Multiz (Blanchette et al. 2004) genome-wide alignment of these three species) was used to define the matrix score for each genomic position and each PWM. (ii) Detection of clustered putative binding sites. To assign a module score to a given region, the five transcription factors with the highest total scoring hits are identified, and a p-value is assigned to the total score observed of the top 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 factors. The p-value computation takes into consideration the number of factors involved (1 to 5), their total binding site scores, and the length and GC content of the region under evaluation. Users can retrieve all information for a given region, a given PWM, a given gene and so on. Several options are given for textual output or visualization of the data.

http://mltreemap.org/

Data analysis service that analyzes DNA sequences and determines their most likely phylogenetic origin. Its main use is in metagenomics projects, where DNA is isolated directly from natural environments and sequenced (the organisms from which the DNA originates are often entirely undescribed). It will search such sequences for suitable marker genes, and will use maximum likelihood analysis to place them in the ''''Tree of Life''''. This placement is more reliable than simply assessing the closest relative of a sequence using BLAST. More importantly, MLTreeMap decides not only who is the closest relative of your query sequence, but also how deep in the tree of life it probably branched off. Additionally, MLTreeMap searches the sequences for genes, which are coding for key enzymes of important functional pathways, such as RuBisCo, methane monooxygenase or nitrogenase. In case of a positive hit, MLTreeMap uses maximum likelihood analysis to place them in the respective ''''gene-family tree''''.

http://soma.arb-silva.de/

A tool for taxonomic classification of DNA fragments, as they are typically obtained in metagenome projects. The classification is based on taxon-specific DNA base composition characteristics (genomic signatures). Classification of query sequences is achieved by mapping the query sequences to the genomic signatures of sequences with known taxonomic affiliations. The mapping is done via the Self-Organizing Map (SOM) algorithm. TaxSOM offers two modes of operation: * mapping query sequences to a pre-calculated SOM * mapping query sequences to a custom SOM

http://www.ebi.ac.uk/biosamples/

Database that aggregates sample information for reference samples (e.g. Coriell Cell lines) and samples for which data exist in one of the EBI''''s assay databases such as ArrayExpress, the European Nucleotide Archive or PRoteomics Identificates DatabasE. It provides links to assays for specific samples, and accepts direct submissions of sample information. The goals of the BioSample Database include: # recording and linking of sample information consistently within EBI databases such as ENA, ArrayExpress and PRIDE; # minimizing data entry efforts for EBI database submitters by enabling submitting sample descriptions once and referencing them later in data submissions to assay databases and # supporting cross database queries by sample characteristics. The database includes a growing set of reference samples, such as cell lines, which are repeatedly used in experiments and can be easily referenced from any database by their accession numbers. Accession numbers for the reference samples will be exchanged with a similar database at NCBI. The samples in the database can be queried by their attributes, such as sample types, disease names or sample providers. A simple tab-delimited format facilitates submissions of sample information to the database, initially via email to biosamples (at) ebi.ac.uk. Current data sources: * European Nucleotide Archive (424,811 samples) * PRIDE (17,001 samples) * ArrayExpress (1,187,884 samples) * ENCODE cell lines (119 samples) * CORIELL cell lines (27,002 samples) * Thousand Genome (2,628 samples) * HapMap (1,417 samples) * IMSR (248,660 samples)

Database containing descriptions of biological source materials used in experimental assays. Sources include: GenBank, Sequence Read Archive (SRA), Coriell, ATCC. Submissions are supported by a web-based Submission Portal that guides users through a series of forms for input of rich metadata describing their samples. As the capacity and complexity of biological data sets expands, databases face new challenges in ensuring that the information is adequately organized and described. The NCBI BioSample database is being developed to help address the challenges by providing the means by which data generators can organize and describe a broad range of sample types, and link to corresponding sets of experimental data in archival databases.

http://pfam.xfam.org/

A database of protein families, each represented by multiple sequence alignments and hidden Markov models (HMMs). Users can analyze protein sequences for Pfam matches, view Pfam family annotation and alignments, see groups of related families, look at the domain organization of a protein sequence, find the domains on a PDB structure, and query Pfam by keywords. There are two components to Pfam: Pfam-A and Pfam-B. Pfam-A entries are high quality, manually curated families that may automatically generate a supplement using the ADDA database. These automatically generated entries are called Pfam-B. Although of lower quality, Pfam-B families can be useful for identifying functionally conserved regions when no Pfam-A entries are found. Pfam also generates higher-level groupings of related families, known as clans (collections of Pfam-A entries which are related by similarity of sequence, structure or profile-HMM).

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Structure/ibis/ibis.cgi

A web server and database that organizes, analyzes and predicts interactions between proteins and other biomolecules. For a given protein sequence or structure query, it reports protein-protein, protein-small molecule, protein nucleic acids and protein-ion interactions observed in experimentally-determined structural biological assemblies. It also infers/predicts interacting partners and binding sites by homology, by inspecting the protein complexes formed by close homologs of a given query. To ensure biological relevance of inferred binding sites, the IBIS algorithm clusters binding sites formed by homologs based on binding site sequence and structure conservation.
