THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on June 29, 2012. We developed a web application, GOfetcher, with a very comprehensive search facility for the GO project and a variety of output formats for the results. GOfetcher has three different levels for searching the GO: Quick Search, Advanced Search, and Upload Files for searching. The application includes a unique search option which generates gene information given a nucleotide or protein accession number which can then be used in generating gene ontology information. The output data in GOfetcher can be saved into several different formats; including spreadsheet, comma-separated values, and the Extensible Markup Language (XML) format. Platform: Online tool

http://great.stanford.edu/public/html/splash.php

Data analysis service that predicts functions of cis-regulatory regions identified by localized measurements of DNA binding events across an entire genome. Whereas previous methods took into account only binding proximal to genes, GREAT is able to properly incorporate distal binding sites and control for false positives using a binomial test over the input genomic regions. GREAT incorporates annotations from 20 ontologies and is available as a web application. The utility of GREAT extends to data generated for transcription-associated factors, open chromatin, localized epigenomic markers and similar functional data sets, and comparative genomics sets.

The Oomycete Molecular Genetics Research Collaboration Network (OMGN) is a network for research collaboration for investigators interested in oomycete molecular genetics and genomics. The goals of the OMGN is to facilitate the integration of these investigators into the community and to further strengthen the cooperative culture of this community. A particular emphasis is placed on training and integrating junior faculty and faculty from institutions under-represented in the U.S. research infrastructure. Because of their economic impact as plant pathogens, molecular, genetic and genomics studies are well advanced in many oomycete species. These organisms have served as lead species for the entire Stramenopiles lineage, a major radiation of crown eukaryotes, distinct from plants, animals and fungi. The oomycete molecular genetics community has a strong culture of collaboration and communication, and sharing of techniques and resources. With the recent blossoming of genetic and genomic tools for oomycetes, many new investigators, from a variety of backgrounds, have become interested in oomycete molecular genetics and genomics. The proposed network is open to all researchers with an interest in oomycete molecular genetics and genomics, either at an experimental or a computational level. Investigators new to the field are always welcome, especially those interested in saprophytes and animal pathogens. Goals of OMGN # Provide training to o��mycete molecular genetics researchers, especially those from smaller institutions, in the use of bioinformatics and genomics resources. # Promote the entry, participation and training of new investigators into the field of o��mycete genomics, particularly junior faculty and faculty from institutions under-represented in the U.S. research infrastructure. # Promote communication and collaboration, and minimize duplication of effort, within the worldwide o��mycete genomics community. # Support an O��mycete Genomics Resources Center to maintain and distribute training and research materials produced by community genomics projects. The network''s activities have been supported by two grants from the NSF Research Collaboration Networks in Biology program.

http://wiki.c2b2.columbia.edu/honiglab_public/index.php/Software:DelPhi

DelPhi provides numerical solutions to the Poisson-Boltzmann equation (both linear and nonlinear form) for molecules of arbitrary shape and charge distribution. The current version is fast, accurate, and can handle extremely high lattice dimensions. It also includes flexible features for assigning different dielectric constants to different regions of space and treating systems containing mixed salt solutions. DelPhi takes as input a coordinate file format of a molecule or equivalent data for geometrical objects and/or charge distributions and calculates the electrostatic potential in and around the system, using a finite difference solution to the Poisson-Boltzmann equation. DelPhi is a versatile electrostatics simulation program that can be used to investigate electrostatic fields in a variety of molecular systems. Features of DelPhi include solutions to mixtures of salts of different valence; solutions to different dielectric constants to different regions of space; and estimation of the best relaxation parameter at run time.

Matlab toolbox that makes it easy to apply decoding analyses to neural data. The design of the toolbox revolves around four abstract object classes which enables users to interchange particular modules in order to try different analyses while keeping the rest of the processing stream intact. The toolbox is capable of analyzing data from many different types of recording modalities, and examples are given on how it can be used to decode basic visual information from neural spiking activity and how it can be used to examine how invariant the activity of a neural population is to stimulus transformations.
