A tool to examine relationships between genes in different disease associated loci. Given several genomic regions or SNPs associated with a particular phenotype or disease, GRAIL looks for similarities in the published scientific text among the associated genes. As input, users can upload either (1) SNPs that have emerged from a genome-wide association study or (2) genomic regions that have emerged from a linkage scan or are associated common or rare copy number variants. SNPs should be listed according to their rs#''s and must be listed in HapMap. Genomic Regions are specified by a user-defined identifier, the chromosome that it is located on, and the start and end base-pair positions for the region. Grail can take two sets of inputs - Query regions and Seed regions. Seed regions are definitely associated SNPs or genomic regions, and Query regions are those regions that the user is attempting to evaluate agains them. In many applications the two sets are identical. Based on textual relationships between genes, GRAIL assigns a p-value to each region suggesting its degree of functional connectivity, and picks the best candidate gene. GRAIL is developed by Soumya Raychaudhuri in the labs of David Altshuler and Mark Daly at the Center for Human Genetic Research of Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, and the Broad Institute. GRAIL is described in manuscript, currently in preparation.

Produces and analyzes sequence data from fungal organisms that are important to medicine, agriculture and industry. The FGI is a partnership between the Broad Institute and the wider fungal research community, with the selection of target genomes governed by a steering committee of fungal scientists. Organisms are selected for sequencing as part of a cohesive strategy that considers the value of data from each organism, given their role in basic research, health, agriculture and industry, as well as their value in comparative genomics.

Database that allows scientists without specialized training to effectively utilize Molecular Libraries Program (MLP) data. It allows the research community to utilize and develop new chemical probes to explore biological functions by building a central, permanently accessible link to all aspects of chemical biology data and analyses. The project is split into two basic segments, the first segment delivering functionality for a data dictionary, as well as assay protocol and data entry tools. The second builds a data warehouse for analysis and visualization, accessible through a public RESTful API. They will initially deploy two clients that will use this API - a web-based interface and a desktop application. Advanced access to data and the platforms will also be available to support plug-in development and the repackaging of data by others. Initially the project will focus on small molecule assays. Features: * allow scientists to annotate assay data using a common, shared language * provide facile access to data, integrating existing chemical biology and computational resources * enable meaningful analysis and interpretation of discovery data by the research community * support hypothesis generation for iterative probe- and drug-discovery projects * inform the entire small molecule discovery and development process, THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 16,2025.
