NIH initiative to support production of cDNA libraries, clones and 5'/3' sequences and to provide set of full-length (open reading frame) sequences and cDNA clones of expressed genes for Xenopus laevis and Xenopus tropicalis. Clones distribution is outsourced to for profit companies. Project concluded in September 2008. Resources generated by XGC are publicly accessible to biomedical research community. All sequences are deposited into GenBank.Corresponding clones are available through IMAGE clone distribution network. With conclusion of XGC project, GenBank records of XGC sequences will be frozen, without further updates. Since knowledge of what constitutes full-length coding region for some of genes and transcripts for which we have XGC clones will likely change in future, users planning to order XGC clones will need to monitor for these changes. Users can make use of genome browsers and gene-specific databases, such as UCSC Genome browser, NCBI's Map Viewer, and Entrez Gene, to view relevant regions of genome (browsers) or gene-related information (Entrez Gene).

WebProAnalyst provides web-accessible analysis for scanning the quantitative structure-activity relationships in protein families. It searches for a sequence region, whose substitutions are correlated with variations in the activities of a homologous protein set, the so-called activity modulating sites. WebProAnalyst allows users to search for the key physicochemical characteristics of the sites that affect the changes in protein activities. It enables the building of multiple linear regression and neural networks models that relate these characteristics to protein activities. WebProAnalyst implements multiple linear regression analysis, back propagation neural networks and the Structure-Activity Correlation/Determination Coefficient (SACC/SADC). A back propagation neural network is implemented as a two-layered network, one layer as input, the other as output (Rumelhart et al, 1986). WebProAnalyst uses alignment of amino acid sequences and data on protein activity (pK, Km, ED50, among others). The input data are the numerical values for the physicochemical characteristics of a site in the multiple alignment given by a slide window. The output data are the predicted activity values. The current version of WebProAnalyst handles a single activity for a single protein. The SACC/SADC may be defined as an estimate of the strongest multiple correlation between the physicochemical characteristics of a site in a multiple alignment and protein activities. The SACC/SADC coefficient makes possible the calculation of the possible highest correlation achievable for the quantitative relationship between the physicochemical properties of sites and protein activities. The SACC/SADC is a convenient means for an arrangement of positions by their functional significance. WebProAnalyst outputs a list of multiple alignment positions, the respective correlation values, also regression analysis parameters for the relationships between the amino acid physicochemical characteristics at these positions and the protein activity values.

http://www.ub.edu/dnasp/

A software package for the analysis of nucleotide polymorphism from aligned DNA sequence data. DnaSP can estimate several measures of DNA sequence variation within and between populations (in noncoding, synonymous or nonsynonymous sites, or in various sorts of codon positions), as well as linkage disequilibrium, recombination, gene flow and gene conversion parameters. DnaSP can also carry out several tests of neutrality: Hudson, Kreitman and Aguad (1987), Tajima (1989), McDonald and Kreitman (1991), Fu and Li (1993), and Fu (1997) tests. Additionally, DnaSP can estimate the confidence intervals of some test-statistics by the coalescent. The results of the analyses are displayed on tabular and graphic form.

http://bibiserv.techfak.uni-bielefeld.de/dialign/

Tool for multiple sequence alignment using various sources of external information that is particularly useful to detect local homologies in sequences with low overall similarity. While standard alignment methods rely on comparing single residues and imposing gap penalties, DIALIGN constructs pairwise and multiple alignments by comparing entire segments of the sequences. No gap penalty is used. This approach can be used for both global and local alignment, but it is particularly successful in situations where sequences share only local homologies. Several versions of DIALIGN are available online at GOBICS, http://dialign.gobics.de/

http://dip.doe-mbi.ucla.edu/

Database to catalog experimentally determined interactions between proteins combining information from a variety of sources to create a single, consistent set of protein-protein interactions that can be downloaded in a variety of formats. The data were curated, both, manually and also automatically using computational approaches that utilize the the knowledge about the protein-protein interaction networks extracted from the most reliable, core subset of the DIP data. Because the reliability of experimental evidence varies widely, methods of quality assessment have been developed and utilized to identify the most reliable subset of the interactions. This CORE set can be used as a reference when evaluating the reliability of high-throughput protein-protein interaction data sets, for development of prediction methods, as well as in the studies of the properties of protein interaction networks. Tools are available to analyze, visualize and integrate user's own experimental data with the information about protein-protein interactions available in the DIP database. The DIP database lists protein pairs that are known to interact with each other. By interact they mean that two amino acid chains were experimentally identified to bind to each other. The database lists such pairs to aid those studying a particular protein-protein interaction but also those investigating entire regulatory and signaling pathways as well as those studying the organization and complexity of the protein interaction network at the cellular level. Registration is required to gain access to most of the DIP features. Registration is free to the members of the academic community. Trial accounts for the commercial users are also available.

http://www.morpholinodatabase.org/

Central database to house data on morpholino screens currently containing over 700 morpholinos including control and multiple morpholinos against the same target. A publicly accessible sequence-based search opens this database for morpholinos against a particular target for the zebrafish community. Morpholino Screens: They set out to identify all cotranslationally translocated genes in the zebrafish genome (Secretome/CTT-ome). Morpholinos were designed against putative secreted/CTT targets and injected into 1-4 cell stage zebrafish embryos. The embryos were observed over a 5 day period for defects in several different systems. The first screen examined 184 gene targets of which 26 demonstrated defects of interest (Pickart et al. 2006). A collaboration with the Verfaillie laboratory examined the knockdown of targets identified in a comparative microarray analysis of hematopoietic stem cells demonstrating how microarray and morpholino technologies can be used in conjunction to enrich for defects in specific developmental processes. Currently, many collaborations are underway to identify genes involved in morphological, kidney, skin, eye, pigment, vascular and hematopoietic development, lipid metabolism and more. The screen types referred to in the search functions are the specific areas of development that were examined during the various screens, which include behavior, general morphology, pigmentation, toxicity, Pax2 expression, and development of the craniofacial structures, eyes, kidneys, pituitary, and skin. Only data pertaining to specific tests performed are presented. Due to the complexity of this international collaboration and time constraints, not all morpholinos were subjected to all screen types. They are currently expanding public access to the database. In the future we will provide: * Mortality curves and dose range for each morpholino * Preliminary data regarding the effectiveness of each morpholino * Expanded annotation for each morpholino * External linkage of our morpholino sequences to ZFIN and Ensembl. To submit morpholino-knockdown results to MODB please contact the administrator for a user name and password.
