This genomic tRNA database contains tRNA gene predictions made by the program tRNAscan-SE (Lowe & Eddy, Nucl Acids Res 25: 955-964, 1997) on complete or nearly complete genomes. Unless otherwise noted, all annotation is automated, and has not been inspected for agreement with published literature. Transfer RNAs (tRNAs) represent the single largest, best-understood class of non-protein coding RNA genes found in all living organisms. By far, the major source of new tRNAs is computational identification of genes within newly sequenced genomes. To organize the rapidly growing collection and enable systematic analyses, we created the Genomic tRNA Database (GtRNAdb). The web resource provides overview statistics of tRNA genes within each analyzed genome, including information by isotype and genetic locus, easily downloadable primary sequences, graphical secondary structures and multiple sequence alignments. Direct links for each gene to UCSC eukaryotic and microbial genome browsers provide graphical display of tRNA genes in the context of all other local genetic information. The database can be searched by primary sequence similarity, tRNA characteristics or phylogenetic group. Inevitably with automated sequence analysis, we find exceptions to general identification rules, isoacceptor type predictions (esp. due to variable post-transcriptional anticodon modification), and questionable tRNA identifications (due to pseudogenes, SINES, or other tRNA-derived elements). We attempt to document all cases we come across, and welcome feedback on new or unrecognized discrepancies.

Open source software system for capturing, storing and analyzing raw phenotyping data from SOPs contained in EMPReSS, it provides access to raw and annotated mouse phenotyping data generated from primary pipelines such as EMPReSSlim and secondary procedures from specialist centers. Mutants of interest can be identified by searching the gene or the predicted phenotype. You can also access phenotype data from the EMPReSSlim Pipeline for inbred mouse strains. Initially EuroPhenome was developed within the EUMORPHIA programme to capture and store pilot phenotyping data obtained on four background strains (C57BL/6J, C3H/HeBFeJ, BALB/cByJ and 129/SvPas). EUMORPHIA (European Union Mouse Research for Public Health and Industrial Applications) was a large project comprising of 18 research centers in 8 European countries, with the main focus of the project being the development of novel approaches in phenotyping, mutagenesis and informatics to improve the characterization of mouse models for understanding human molecular physiology and pathology. The current version of EuroPhenome is capturing data from the EUMODIC project as well as the WTSI MGP, HMGU GMC pipeline and the CMHD. EUMODIC is undertaking a primary phenotype assessment of up to 500 mouse mutant lines derived from ES cells developed in the EUCOMM project as well as other lines. Lines showing an interesting phenotype will be subject to a more in depth assessment. EUMODIC is building upon the comprehensive database of standardized phenotyping protocols, called EMPReSS, developed by the EUMORPHIA project. EUMODIC has developed a selection of these screens, called EMPReSSslim, to enable comprehensive, high throughput, primary phenotyping of large numbers of mice. Phenovariants are annotated using a automated pipeline, which assigns a MP term if the mutant data is statistically different to the baseline data. This data is shown in the Phenomap and the mine for a mutant tool. Please note that a statistically significant result and the subsequent MP annotation does not necessarily mean a true phenovariant. There are other factors that could cause this result that have not been accounted for in the analysis. It is the responsibility of the user to download the data and use their expert knowledge or further analysis to decide whether they agree or not. EuroPhenome is primarily based in the bioinformatics group at MRC Harwell. The development of EuroPhenome is in collaboration with the Helmholtz Zentrum Munchen, Germany, the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, UK and the Institut Clinique de la Souris, France.

canSAR is an integrated database that brings together biological, chemical, pharmacological (and eventually clinical) data. Its goal is to integrate this data and make it accessible to cancer research scientists from multiple disciplines, in order to help with hypothesis generation in cancer research and support translational research. This cancer research and drug discovery resource was developed to utilize the growing publicly available biological annotation, chemical screening, RNA interference screening, expression, amplification and 3D structural data. Scientists can, in a single place, rapidly identify biological annotation of a target, its structural characterization, expression levels and protein interaction data, as well as suitable cell lines for experiments, potential tool compounds and similarity to known drug targets. canSAR has, from the outset, been completely use-case driven which has dramatically influenced the design of the back-end and the functionality provided through the interfaces. The Web interface provides flexible, multipoint entry into canSAR. This allows easy access to the multidisciplinary data within, including target and compound synopses, bioactivity views and expert tools for chemogenomic, expression and protein interaction network data.

This project has developed a sequence dataset of plant small RNAs based on the hypothesis that most if not all plants utilize important small RNA signaling networks. Different plant families are likely to have both common and lineage-specific miRNAs or other small RNAs with important biological roles. Comparative genomics approaches can be applied to distinguish potential miRNAs from siRNAs and to match the miRNAs to the target sequences. This project develops an unparalleled resource of millions of plant small RNAs for comparative analyses. The project includes sequencing of small RNAs from a diverse and agronomically-relevant set of plant species, focused analyses of important members of the Solanaceae and Poaceae, and development of a small RNA database and web interface for public access and analysis of data. These data will allow the experimental characterization of the majority of biologically important small RNAs for a range of plant species, and will be tremendously useful to a broad set of plant biologists interested in development, stress responses, epigenetics, evolution, RNA biology and other traits impacted by small RNAs. We offer a variety of tools to query the small RNA data set, with options to identify sequences based on homology, expression levels, conservation, or potential function: 1. Small RNA mapping tool: searches for small RNAs perfectly matching a genomic sequence provided by the user. 2. Small RNA mismatch tool: searches the database for small RNAs or other short sequences provided by the user, allowing mismatches. 3. Library-comparison tool to identify conserved small RNAs. 4. Library-comparison tool to identify differentially regulated small RNAs. 5. Reverse Target Prediction.

Composed of many projects, including the Minnesota Twin Family Study (MTFS) and The Sibling Interaction and Behavior Study (SIBS), this research center seeks to identify genetic and environmental influences on development and psychological traits. Both projects are longitudinal research studies including twins, siblings, and parents. Over 9800 individuals have contributed to these exciting projects! By studying twins and siblings and their families, we can estimate how genes and environment interact to influence character, strengths, vulnerabilities and values. Participants in the MTFS include families with same-sex identical or fraternal twins who were born in Minnesota. The SIBS study is comprised of adoptive and biological siblings and their parents. Most participants partake in day-long visits to the MCTFR, and due to the longitudinal nature of our projects, they return every 3-4 years for follow-up visits.
