A database of orthologous groups of genes. The orthologous groups are annotated with functional description lines (derived by identifying a common denominator for the genes based on their various annotations), with functional categories (i.e derived from the original COG/KOG categories). eggNOG's database currently counts 1.7 million orthologous groups in 3686 species, covering over 7.7 million proteins (built from 9.6 million proteins).

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.

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.

The main focus of this Computational Biology group is to predict function and to gain insights into evolution by comparative analysis of complex molecular data. The group currently works on three different scales: * genes and proteins, * protein networks and cellular processes, and * phenotypes and environments. They require both tool development and applications. Some selected projects include comparative gene, genome and metagenome analysis, mapping interactions to proteins and pathways as well as the study of temporal and spatial protein network aspects. All are geared towards the bridging of genotype and phenotype through a better understanding of molecular and cellular processes. The services - resources & tools, developed by Bork Group, are mainly designed and maintained for research & academic purposes. Most of services are published and documented in one or more papers. All our tools can be completely customized and integrated into your existing framework. This service is provided by the company biobyte solutions GmbH. Please visit their tools and services pages for full details and more information. Standard commercial licenses for our tools are also available through biobyte solutions GmbH. The group is partially associated with Max Delbr��ck Center for Molecular Medicine (MDC), Berlin.

Database of known and predicted protein interactions. The interactions include direct (physical) and indirect (functional) associations and are derived from four sources: Genomic Context, High-throughput experiments, (Conserved) Coexpression, and previous knowledge. STRING quantitatively integrates interaction data from these sources for a large number of organisms, and transfers information between these organisms where applicable. The database currently covers 5''214''234 proteins from 1133 organisms. (2013)

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented August 22, 2016. A database of candidate genes for mapped inherited human diseases. Candidate priorities are automatically established by a data mining algorithm that extracts putative genes in the chromosomal region where the disease is mapped, and evaluates their possible relation to the disease based on the phenotype of the disorder. Data analysis uses a scoring system developed for the possible functional relations of human genes to genetically inherited diseases that have been mapped onto chromosomal regions without assignment of a particular gene. Methodology can be divided in two parts: the association of genes to phenotypic features, and the identification of candidate genes on a chromosonal region by homology. This is an analysis of relations between phenotypic features and chemical objects, and from chemical objects to protein function terms, based on the whole MEDLINE and RefSeq databases.
