http://matrixdb.univ-lyon1.fr/

Freely available database focused on interactions established by extracellular proteins and polysaccharides, taking into account the multimeric nature of the extracellular proteins (e.g. collagens, laminins and thrombospondins are multimers). MatrixDB is an active member of the International Molecular Exchange (IMEx) consortium and has adopted the PSI-MI standards for annotating and exchanging interaction data. It includes interaction data extracted from the literature by manual curation, and offers access to relevant data involving extracellular proteins provided by the IMEx partner databases through the PSICQUIC webservice, as well as data from the Human Protein Reference Database. The database reports mammalian protein-protein and protein-carbohydrate interactions involving extracellular molecules. Interactions with lipids and cations are also reported. MatrixDB is focused on mammalian interactions, but aims to integrate interaction datasets of model organisms when available. MatrixDB provides direct links to databases recapitulating mutations in genes encoding extracellular proteins, to UniGene and to the Human Protein Atlas that shows expression and localization of proteins in a large variety of normal human tissues and cells. MatrixDB allows researchers to perform customized queries and to build tissue- and disease-specific interaction networks that can be visualized and analyzed with Cytoscape or Medusa. Statistics (2013): 2283 extracellular matrix interactions including 2095 protein-protein and 169 protein-glycosaminoglycan interactions.

http://www.myexperiment.org/

Community repository and virtual research environment where scientists can safely publish their workflows and experiment plans, share them with groups and find and use those of others. Workflows, other digital objects and collections (called Packs) can be swapped, sorted and searched. It supports Linked data, has a SPARQL Endpoint and REST API and is based on an open source Ruby on Rails codebase. Scientific workflows in various formats can be uploaded. Specific support is provided for Taverna workflows for which the system displays relevant metadata, components and visual previews, that are retrieved directly from workflow files. Version history for workflows is collected. This feature allows the contributor to keep previous versions of the workflow available, when the latest one is uploaded. This brings additional benefit for the users by allowing them to view the development stages of the workflow towards its latest implementation.

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

Public archive providing a comprehensive record of the world''''s nucleotide sequencing information, covering raw sequencing data, sequence assembly information and functional annotation. All submitted data, once public, will be exchanged with the NCBI and DDBJ as part of the INSDC data exchange agreement. The European Nucleotide Archive (ENA) captures and presents information relating to experimental workflows that are based around nucleotide sequencing. A typical workflow includes the isolation and preparation of material for sequencing, a run of a sequencing machine in which sequencing data are produced and a subsequent bioinformatic analysis pipeline. ENA records this information in a data model that covers input information (sample, experimental setup, machine configuration), output machine data (sequence traces, reads and quality scores) and interpreted information (assembly, mapping, functional annotation). Data arrive at ENA from a variety of sources including submissions of raw data, assembled sequences and annotation from small-scale sequencing efforts, data provision from the major European sequencing centers and routine and comprehensive exchange with their partners in the International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration (INSDC). Provision of nucleotide sequence data to ENA or its INSDC partners has become a central and mandatory step in the dissemination of research findings to the scientific community. ENA works with publishers of scientific literature and funding bodies to ensure compliance with these principles and to provide optimal submission systems and data access tools that work seamlessly with the published literature. ENA is made up of a number of distinct databases that includes the EMBL Nucleotide Sequence Database (Embl-Bank), the newly established Sequence Read Archive (SRA) and the Trace Archive. The main tool for downloading ENA data is the ENA Browser, which is available through REST URLs for easy programmatic use. All ENA data are available through the ENA Browser. Note: EMBL Nucleotide Sequence Database (EMBL-Bank) is entirely included within this resource.

http://www.gigasciencejournal.com/

An online open-access open-data journal, publishing ''big-data'' studies from the entire spectrum of life and biomedical sciences whose publication format links standard manuscript publication with its affiliated database, GigaDB, that hosts all associated data, provides data analysis tools, cloud-computing resources, and a DOI assignment to every dataset. GigaScience covers not just ''omic'' type data and the fields of high-throughput biology currently serviced by large public repositories, but also the growing range of more difficult-to-access data, such as imaging, neuroscience, ecology, cohort data, systems biology and other new types of large-scale sharable data. Supporting the open-data movement, they require that all supporting data and source code be publicly available in a suitable public repository and/or under a public domain CC0 license in the BGI GigaScience database. Using the BGI cloud as a test environment, they also consider open-source software tools / methods for the analysis or handling of large-scale data. When submitting a manuscript, please contact them if you have datasets or cloud applications you would like them to host. To maximize data usability submitters are encouraged to follow best practice for metadata reporting and are given the opportunity to submit in ISA-Tab format.

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

Service providing functional analysis of proteins by classifying them into families and predicting domains and important sites. They combine protein signatures from a number of member databases into a single searchable resource, capitalizing on their individual strengths to produce a powerful integrated database and diagnostic tool. This integrated database of predictive protein signatures is used for the classification and automatic annotation of proteins and genomes. InterPro classifies sequences at superfamily, family and subfamily levels, predicting the occurrence of functional domains, repeats and important sites. InterPro adds in-depth annotation, including GO terms, to the protein signatures. You can access the data programmatically, via Web Services. The member databases use a number of approaches: # ProDom: provider of sequence-clusters built from UniProtKB using PSI-BLAST. # PROSITE patterns: provider of simple regular expressions. # PROSITE and HAMAP profiles: provide sequence matrices. # PRINTS provider of fingerprints, which are groups of aligned, un-weighted Position Specific Sequence Matrices (PSSMs). # PANTHER, PIRSF, Pfam, SMART, TIGRFAMs, Gene3D and SUPERFAMILY: are providers of hidden Markov models (HMMs). Your contributions are welcome. You are encouraged to use the ''''Add your annotation'''' button on InterPro entry pages to suggest updated or improved annotation for individual InterPro entries.
