Database that describes more than 100,000 computational predicted transcriptional regulatory modules within the human genome. These modules represent the regulatory potential for 229 transcription factors families and are the first genome-wide / transcription factor-wide collection of predicted regulatory modules for the human genome. The algorithm used involves two steps: (i) Identification and scoring of putative transcription factor binding sites using 481 TRANSFAC 7.2 position weight matrices (PWMs) for vertebrate transcription factors. To this end, each non-coding position of the human genome was evaluated for its similarity to each PWM using a log-likelihood ratio score with a local GC-parameterized third-order Markov background model. Corresponding orthologous positions in mouse and rat genomes were evaluated similarly and a weighted average of the human, mouse, and rat log-likelihood scores at aligned positions (based on a Multiz (Blanchette et al. 2004) genome-wide alignment of these three species) was used to define the matrix score for each genomic position and each PWM. (ii) Detection of clustered putative binding sites. To assign a module score to a given region, the five transcription factors with the highest total scoring hits are identified, and a p-value is assigned to the total score observed of the top 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 factors. The p-value computation takes into consideration the number of factors involved (1 to 5), their total binding site scores, and the length and GC content of the region under evaluation. Users can retrieve all information for a given region, a given PWM, a given gene and so on. Several options are given for textual output or visualization of the data.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on 8/12/13. Database to access and mine alternative splicing information coming from genomics and proteomics based on genome-wide analyses of alternative splicing in human (30 793 alternative splice relationships found) from detailed alignment of expressed sequences onto the genomic sequence. ASAP provides precise gene exon-intron structure, alternative splicing, tissue specificity of alternative splice forms, and protein isoform sequences resulting from alternative splicing. They developed an automated method for discovering human tissue-specific regulation of alternative splicing through a genome-wide analysis of expressed sequence tags (ESTs), which involves classifying human EST libraries according to tissue categories and Bayesian statistical analysis. They use the UniGene clusters of human Expressed Sequence Tags (ESTs) to identify splices. The UniGene EST's are clustered so that a single cluster roughly corresponds to a gene (or at least a part of a gene). A single EST represents a portion of a processed (already spliced) mRNA. A given cluster contains many ESTs, each representing an outcome of a series of splicing events. The ESTs in UniGene contain the different mRNA isoforms transcribed from an alternatively spliced gene. They are not predicting alternative splicing, but locating it based on EST analysis. The discovered splices are further analyzed to determine alternative splicing events. They have identified 6201 alternative splice relationships in human genes, through a genome-wide analysis of expressed sequence tags (ESTs). Starting with 2.1 million human mRNA and EST sequences, they mapped expressed sequences onto the draft human genome sequence and only accepted splices that obeyed the standard splice site consensus. After constructing a tissue list of 46 human tissues with 2 million human ESTs, they generated a database of novel human alternative splices that is four times larger than our previous report, and used Bayesian statistics to compare the relative abundance of every pair of alternative splices in these tissues. Using several statistical criteria for tissue specificity, they have identified 667 tissue-specific alternative splicing relationships and analyzed their distribution in human tissues. They have validated our results by comparison with independent studies. This genome-wide analysis of tissue specificity of alternative splicing will provide a useful resource to study the tissue-specific functions of transcripts and the association of tissue-specific variants with human diseases.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented August 23, 2016. The STACKdb is knowledgebase generated by processing EST and mRNA sequences obtained from GenBank through a pipeline consisting of masking, clustering, alignment and variation analysis steps. The STACK project aims to generate a comprehensive representation of the sequence of each of the expressed genes in the human genome by extensive processing of gene fragments to make accurate alignments, highlight diversity and provide a carefully joined set of consensus sequences for each gene. The STACK project is comprised of the STACKdb human gene index, a database of virtual human transcripts, as well as stackPACK, the tools used to create the database. STACKdb is organized into 15 tissue-based categories and one disease category. STACK is a tool for detection and visualization of expressed transcript variation in the context of developmental and pathological states. The data system organizes and reconstructs human transcripts from available public data in the context of expression state. The expression state of a transcript can include developmental state, pathological association, site of expression and isoform of expressed transcript. STACK consensus transcripts are reconstructed from clusters that capture and reflect the growing evidence of transcript diversity. The comprehensive capture of transcript variants is achieved by the use of a novel clustering approach that is tolerant of sub-sequence diversity and does not rely on pairwise alignment. This is in contrast with other gene indexing projects. STACK is generated at least four times a year and represents the exhaustive processing of all publicly available human EST data extracted from GenBank. This processed information can be explored through 15 tissue-specific categories, a disease-related category and a whole-body index

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented August 23, 2016. The project aims to apply genome mapping research to sheep, utilizing previous research in sheep (in other countries) and in other species (in the UK and abroad) to the benefit of the UK sheep industry. The project itself uses existing breeding structures, knowledge of the sheep genome and experimental resources. It has three main aims: i) To use the Suffolk, Texel and Charollais Sire Referencing Schemes to detect and verify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for growth and carcass composition traits ii) To investigate candidate genes and/or chromosomal regions for associations with production traits. iii) To investigate approaches for optimizing future genotyping strategies within the sire referencing schemes for practical and cost effective application of marker-assisted selection By using commercial breeding populations for the research, immediate application of beneficial results is possible. Potential benefits include increased genetic progress through marker assisted selection which utilizes the genotype information, correction of possible parentage errors (ultimately leading to additional genetic progress) and opportunities for using marker information for product certification. The project will benefit the UK sheep industry by the use of Marker Assisted Selection (MAS) utilizing QTL or gene variants identified in the project. Additional benefits may arise from parentage verification and correction of errors e.g. misallocation of lamb to ewe. In the longer term, opportunities may exist to use markers for quality control, tracing products to their source. The major advantage of the design of this project is that the results are immediately applicable to the breeding schemes within which the QTLs and/or genes are detected. The time lag in the application of the results that is often seen with experimental populations is minimized. The project requires close involvement with the Sire Reference Schemes, in return for their assistance the results have immediate benefit to animals within these groups.
