http://www.patternlabforproteomics.org/

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented July 5, 2018. Gene Ontology Explorer (GOEx) combines data from protein fold changes with GO over-representation statistics to help draw conclusions in proteomic experiments. It is tightly integrated within the PatternLab for Proteomics project and, thus, lies within a complete computational environment that provides parsers and pattern recognition tools designed for spectral counting. GOEx offers three independent methods to query data: an interactive directed acyclic graph, a specialist mode where key words can be searched, and an automatic search. A recent hack included in GOEx is to load the sparse matrix index file directly into GOEx, instead of going through the report generation using the AC/T-fold methods. This makes it easy for GOEx to analyze any list of proteins as long as the list follows the index file format (described in manuscript) . Please note that if using this alternative strategy, there will be no protein fold information. Platform: Windows compatible

Biomedical Logical Programming (Blip) is a research-oriented deductive database and prolog application library for handling biological and biomedical data. It includes packages for advanced querying of ontologies and annotations. Blip underpins the Obol tool. Here are some distinguishing characteristics of Blip * Lightweight. Bloat-free: Blip only has as many modules as it needs to do its job. * Fast. * Declarative. Say what you want to do, not how you want to do it * Blip can be Query-oriented: specify your data sources and ask your query * Blip can be Application-oriented: it is designed to be used as an application library used by other bioinformatics tools * Mature and fully functional ontology module for handling both OBO-style ontologies and OWL ontologies. * Modules for handling biological sequences and sequence features. (currently limited functionality, added as needed) * A systems biology module for querying pathway and interaction data. (currently limited functionality, added as needed) * Relational database integration. SQL can be viewed as a highly restricted dialect of Prolog. Although the SWI-Prolog in-memory database is fast and scalable, sometimes it is nice to be able to fetch data from an external database. Blip contains a generic SQL utility module and predicate mappings for the GO database, Ensembl and Chado * Integration with a variety of bioinformatics file formats. SWI-Prolog has a variety of fast libraries for dealing with XML, RDF and tabular data files. Blip provides bridges from bio file formats encoded using these syntaxes into its native models. For other syntaxes, Blip seamlessly integrates other packages such as BioPerl and go-perl. Although these dependencies require extra installation, there is no point reinventing the wheel * Rapid development of web applications. Blip extends SWI-Prolog''''s excellent http support with a simple and powerful logical-functional-programming style application server, serval. This has been used to prototype a fully-featured next-generation replacement for the GO project amigo browser. * Scalable. Blip is not intended to be a toy system on toy data (although it is happy to be used as a toy if you like!). It is intended to be used as an application component and a tool operating on real-world biological and biomedical data Blip is written in SWI-Prolog, a fast, robust and scalable implementation of ISO Prolog. Platform: Windows compatible, Mac OS X compatible, Linux compatible, Unix compatible

http://www.ici.upmc.fr/cluego/

A Cytoscape plug-in that visualizes the non-redundant biological terms for large clusters of genes in a functionally grouped network. It can be used in combination with GOlorize. The identifiers can be uploaded from a text file or interactively from a network of Cytoscape. The type of identifiers supported can be easily extended by the user. ClueGO performs single cluster analysis and comparison of clusters. From the ontology sources used, the terms are selected by different filter criteria. The related terms which share similar associated genes can be combined to reduce redundancy. The ClueGO network is created with kappa statistics and reflects the relationships between the terms based on the similarity of their associated genes. On the network, the node colour can be switched between functional groups and clusters distribution. ClueGO charts are underlying the specificity and the common aspects of the biological role. The significance of the terms and groups is automatically calculated. ClueGO is easy updatable with the newest files from Gene Ontology and KEGG. Platform: Windows compatible, Mac OS X compatible, Linux compatible, Unix compatible, THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 16,2025.

http://www.informatics.jax.org/mgihome/GO/project.shtml

This resource is part of the Gene Ontology Consortium which seeks to provide controlled vocabularies for the description of the molecular function, biological process, and cellular component of gene products. These terms are to be used as attributes of gene products by collaborating databases, facilitating uniform queries across them. GO team members at MGI participate in ontology development, outreach, and functional curation of mouse gene products. The GO vocabularies have a hierarchical structure that permits a range of detail from high-level, broadly descriptive terms to very low level, highly specific terms. This broad range is useful both in annotating genes and in searching for gene information using these terms as search criteria. GO terms are defined, allowing all databases to use the terms consistently and properly. GO annotations in the databases additionally include the publication reference which allowed the association to be made and an evidence statement citing how the association was determined.

https://wiki.nci.nih.gov/display/LexEVS/LexGrid

LexGrid (Lexical Grid) provides support for a distributed network of lexical resources such as terminologies and ontologies via standards-based tools, storage formats, and access/update mechanisms. The Lexical Grid Vision is for a distributed network of terminological resources. It is the foundation of the National Center for Biomedical Ontology BioPortal interface and web-services, and can parse OBO format, as well as other formats such as OWL. Currently, there are many terminologies and ontologies in existence. Just about every terminology has its own format, its own set of tools, and its own update mechanisms. The only thing that most of these pieces have in common with each other is their incompatibility. This makes it very hard to use these resources to their full potential. We have designed the Lexical Grid as a way to bridge terminologies and ontologies with a common set of tools, formats and update mechanisms. The Lexical Grid is: * accessible through a set of common APIs * joined through shared indices * online accessible * downloadable * loosely coupled * locally extendable * globally revised * available in web-space on web-time * cross-linked The realization of this vision requires three interlocking components, which are: * Standards - access methods and formats need to be published and openly available * Tools - standards based tools must be readily available * Content - commonly used terminologies have to be available for access and download Platform: Windows compatible, Mac OS X compatible, Linux compatible, Unix compatible

http://www.innatedb.com

Publicly available database of the genes, proteins, experimentally-verified interactions and signaling pathways involved in the innate immune response of humans, mice and bovines to microbial infection. The database captures coverage of the innate immunity interactome by integrating known interactions and pathways from major public databases together with manually-curated data into a centralized resource. The database can be mined as a knowledgebase or used with the integrated bioinformatics and visualization tools for the systems level analysis of the innate immune response. Although InnateDB curation focuses on innate immunity-relevant interactions and pathways, it also incorporates detailed annotation on the entire human, mouse and bovine interactomes by integrating data (178,000+ interactions & 3,900+ pathways) from several of the major public interaction and pathway databases. InnateDB also has integrated human, mouse and bovine orthology predictions generated using Ortholgue software. Ortholgue uses a phylogenetic distance-based method to identify possible paralogs in high-throughput orthology predictions. Integrated human and mouse conserved gene order and synteny information has also been determined to provide further support for orthology predictions. InnateDB Capabilities: * View statistics for manually-curated innate immunity relevant molecular interactions. New manually curated interactions are submitted weekly. * Search for genes and proteins of interest. * Search for experimentally-verified molecular interactions by gene/protein name, interaction type, cell type, etc. * Search genes/interactions belonging to 3,900 pathways. * Visualize interactions using an intuitive subcellular localization-based layout in Cerebral. * Upload your own list of genes along with associated gene expression data (from up to 10 experimental conditions) to interactively analyze this data in a molecular interaction network context. Once you have uploaded your data, you will be able to interactively visualize interaction networks with expression data overlaid; carry out Pathway, Gene Ontology and Transcription Factor Binding Site over-representation analyses; construct orthologous interaction networks in other species; and much more. * Access curated interaction data via a dedicated PSICQUIC webservice.

canSAR is an integrated database that brings together biological, chemical, pharmacological (and eventually clinical) data. Its goal is to integrate this data and make it accessible to cancer research scientists from multiple disciplines, in order to help with hypothesis generation in cancer research and support translational research. This cancer research and drug discovery resource was developed to utilize the growing publicly available biological annotation, chemical screening, RNA interference screening, expression, amplification and 3D structural data. Scientists can, in a single place, rapidly identify biological annotation of a target, its structural characterization, expression levels and protein interaction data, as well as suitable cell lines for experiments, potential tool compounds and similarity to known drug targets. canSAR has, from the outset, been completely use-case driven which has dramatically influenced the design of the back-end and the functionality provided through the interfaces. The Web interface provides flexible, multipoint entry into canSAR. This allows easy access to the multidisciplinary data within, including target and compound synopses, bioactivity views and expert tools for chemogenomic, expression and protein interaction network data.
