User-contributed list of biological databases available on the internet. Currently there are 1,801 entries, each describing a different database. The databases are described in a semi-structured way by using templates and entries can carry various user comments and annotations. Entries can be searched, listed or browsed by category. The site uses the same MediaWiki technology that powers Wikipedia, The Mediawiki system allows users to participate on many different levels, ranging from authors and editors to curators and designers. MetaBase aims to be a flexible, user-driven (user-created) resource for the biological database community. The main focuses of MetaBase are: * As a basic requirement, MB contains a list of databases, URLs and descriptions of the most commonly used biological databases currently available on the internet. * The system should be flexible, allowing users to contribute, update and maintain the data in different ways. * In the future we aim to generate more communication between the database developer and user communities.

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.candidagenome.org/

Database of genetic and molecular biological information about Candida albicans. Contains information about genes and proteins, descriptions and classifications of their biological roles, molecular functions, and subcellular localizations, gene, protein, and chromosome sequence information, tools for analysis and comparison of sequences and links to literature information. Each CGD gene or open reading frame has an individual Locus Page. Genetic loci that are not tied to DNA sequence also have Locus Pages. Provides Gene Ontology, GO, to all its users. Three ontologies that comprise GO (Molecular Function, Cellular Component, and Biological Process) are used by multiple databases to annotate gene products, so that this common vocabulary can be used to compare gene products across species. Development of ontologies is ongoing in order to incorporate new information. Data submissions are welcome.

http://biodev.extra.cea.fr/interoporc/

Automatic prediction tool to infer protein-protein interaction networks, it is applicable for lots of species using orthology and known interactions. The interoPORC method is based on the interolog concept and combines source interaction datasets from public databases as well as clusters of orthologous proteins (PORC) available on Integr8. Users can use this page to ask InteroPorc for all species present in Integr8. Some results are already computed and users can run InteroPorc to investigate any other species. Currently, the following databases are processed and merged (with datetime of the last available public release for each database used): IntAct, MINT, DIP, and Integr8.

http://www.yandell-lab.org/software/vaast.html

A probabilistic search tool for identifying damaged genes and their disease-causing variants in personal genome sequences. VAAST combines elements of phylogenetic conservation, amino acid substitution, and aggregative approaches to variant prioritization into a single unified likelihood-framework that allows users to accurately identify damaged genes and deleterious variants. The software can score both coding (SNV, indel and splice site) and non-coding variants (SNV), evaluating the cumulative impact of both types of variants simultaneously. It can identify rare variants causing rare genetic diseases and can also use both rare and common variants to identify genes responsible for common diseases.
