http://www.bcgsc.ca/platform/bioinfo/software/alea

A computational software toolbox for allele-specific (AS) epigenomics analysis. It incorporates allelic variation data within existing resources, allowing for the identification of significant associations between epigenetic modifications and specific allelic variants in human and mouse cells. It provides a customizable pipeline of command line tools for AS analysis of next-generation sequencing data (ChIP-seq, RNA-seq, etc.) that takes the raw sequencing data and produces separate allelic tracks ready to be viewed on genome browsers. ALEA takes advantage of the available genomic resources for human (The 1000 Genomes Project Consortium) and mouse (The Mouse Genome Project) to reconstruct diploid in-silico genomes for human or hybrid mice under study. Then, for each accompanying ChIP-seq or RNA-seq dataset, it generates two Wiggle track format (WIG) files from short reads aligned differentially to each haplotype.

http://sideeffects.embl.de/

Database containing information on marketed medicines and their recorded adverse drug reactions. The information is extracted from public documents and package inserts. The available information include side effect frequency, drug and side effect classifications as well as links to further information, for example drug-target relations. The SIDER Side Effect Resource represents an effort to aggregate dispersed public information on side effects. To our knowledge, no such resource exist in machine-readable form despite the importance of research on drugs and their effects. The creation of this resource was motivated by the many requests for data that we received related to our paper (Campillos, Kuhn et al., Science, 2008, 321(5886):263-6.) on the utilization of side effects for drug target prediction. Inclusion of side effects as readouts for drug treatment should have many applications and we hope to be able to enhance the respective research with this resource. You may browse the drugs by name, browse the side effects by name, download the current version of SIDER, or use the search interface.

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://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://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://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)
