http://www.imi.europa.eu/content/eu-aims

Consortium aiming to generate tools that will enhance understanding of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and pave the way for the development of new, safe and effective treatments for use in both children and adults. For example, the team will gather samples from people bearing certain mutations associated with ASD; this will pave the way for the generation of cell lines that can be used to test treatments. Elsewhere, the researchers will advance the use of brain scans as a tool to boost ASD drug discovery and also identify which people with ASD might respond best to a given drug. The project will also create a pan-European network of clinical sites. As well as making it easier to run clinical trials, this network will create an interactive platform for those with ASD and professionals. By the end of the 5 year project they expect to provide novel validated cellular assays, animal models, new fMRI methods with dedicated analysis techniques, new PET radioligands, as well as new genetic and proteomic biomarkers for patient-segmentation or individual response prediction. They will provide a research network that can rapidly test new treatments in man. These tools should provide their EFPIA partners with an added competitive advantage in developing new drugs for ASD.

http://www.embl-heidelberg.de/Services/serrano/agadir/agadir-start.html

A prediction algorithm based on the helix/coil transition theory. Agadir predicts the helical behaviour of monomeric peptides. It only considers short range interactions. Conditions such as pH, temperature and ionic strength are used in the calculation. Modifications of the termini are also allowed. To submit a job to Agadir, log in the calculation part using the login button in the right bottom. Then fill-in the input form and proceed to next page, etc. You will reach a final page that resumes all the input information and allows you to run the calculation. You can submit one or more peptide sequences in one-letter format. Sequences should be separated by one return character. Spaces and tabulations are automatically removed. Only standard amino acids are accepted. Agadir accepts two modifications at the N-terminus (acetylation or succynilation), and one at the C-terminus (amidation). Just choose the desired option in the input form. You can use only one set of parameters: temperature, ionic strength (calibrated for NaCl) and pH, or explore a particular range of conditions for one parameter. In the latter case the intervals between any two values are: Ionic strength 0.05 M Temperature 1 K pH 0.2 units When setting the conditions for these parameters please be aware that the allowed ranges are: Ionic strength between 0.001 and 1 M Temperature between 273 and 400 K pH between 1 and 14 Output of the prediction at the residue level is available only when submitting no more than ten peptide sequences, and without any screening of conditions. Hstaple is the Hydrophobic Staple motif, Schellman is the Shellman motif, CaH are the expecte chemical shifts of the Calpha proton, 13Ca are the alpha Carbon 13 chemical shifts, JaN is the Jalpha--nitrogen coupling.

http://www.ebi.ac.uk/asd/altsplice/index.html

AltSplice is a computer generated high quality data set of human transcript-confirmed splice patterns, alternative splice events, and the associated annotations. This data is being integrated with other data that is generated by other members of the ASD consortium. The ASD project will provide the following in its three year duration: -human curated database of alternative spliced genes and their properties -a computer generated database of alternatively spliced genes and their properties -the integration of the above and newly found knowledge in a user-friendly interface and research workbench for both bioinformaticists and biologists -DNA chips that are based on the data in the above databases -the DNA chips will be used to test against predisposition for and diagnoses of human diseases ASD aims to analyse this mechanism on a genome-wide scale by creating a database that contains all alternatively spliced exons from human, and other model species. Disease causing mutations seem to induce aberrations in the process of splicing and its regulation. The ASD consortium will develop a DNA microarray (chip) that contains cDNAs of all the splicing regulatory proteins and their isoforms, as well as a chip that contains a number of disease relevant genes. We will concentrate on three models of disease (breast cancer, FTDP-17, male infertility) in which a connection between mis-splicing and a pathological state has been observed. Finally, these chips will be developed as demonstrative kits to detect predisposition for and diagnosis of such diseases.

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://ogeedb.embl.de/#summary

Online GEne Essentiality database containing genes that were tested experimentally for essentiality and their features; it also provides a set of tools to systematically explore and analyze these data. The main purpose of this project is to better understand gene essentiality by facilitating the comparisons of the differences and similarities between essential and non-essential genes. This is achieved by collecting not only experimentally tested essential and non-essential genes, but also associated gene features such as expression profiles, duplication status, conservation across species, evolutionary origins and involvement in embryonic development. We focus on large-scale experiments and complement our data with text-mining results. Genes are organized into data sets according to their sources. Genes with variable essentiality status across data sets are tagged as conditionally essential, highlighting the complex interplay between gene functions and environments. Linked tools allow the user to compare gene essentiality among different gene groups, or compare features of essential genes to non-essential genes, and visualize the results. Why is it different from existing databases? * we included both essential and non-essential genes so that we could better understand the gene essentiality by comparing the similarities and differences between the two gene sets; * we compiled a list of features for each gene, including whether they are duplicates or involved in development, the number of other homologous genes in the same genome, as well as their earliest expression stages during development. These features are keys to understand the essentiality of genes; * we also provide a set of tools to explore our data and visualize the results. For example, users can simply divide genes into two groups according to whether they are duplicates, calculate the proportion of essential genes (PE%) in each group and then visualize the results in a bar plot; or they can classify genes into multiple groups according to their earliest expression stages during evolution, compare the essentiality of genes that were expressed earlier with those were latter, and plot the results in a line chart.

http://bioinformatics.biol.uoa.gr/human_gpdb/

A publicly accessible, relational database of human G-Proteins and their interactions with human GPCRs and Effectors. Advanced data integration techniques make Human-gpDB very rich in context since all of the bioentities are linked to a rich variety of external data sources. High quality visualization methods make the networks more informative and the extraction of information easier. Human-gpDB is currently a very useful tool for drug targeting investigation. The sequences of G-Proteins and GPCRs are classified according to a hierarchy of different classes, families and sub-families, whereas the Effectors sequences are classified in families, subfamilies and types, based on extensive literature search. The classification of GPCRs follows the IUPHAR classification, while the Effectors classification is a unique feature and is based on their function. The database currently holds information about 713 human GPCRs, 36 human G-Proteins and 99 human Effectors. The collection of the information about the interactions between these molecules was done manually and the current status of Human-gpDB reveals information about 1663 connections between GPCRs and G-Proteins and 1618 connections between G-Proteins and Effectors.
