MAOS Resource Report Resource Website 10+ mentions |
MAOS (RRID:SCR_013351) | software application, software resource | Software application that implements valid and efficient statistical methods for meta-analysis of genomewide association studies with overlapping subjects. The current release performs logistic regression analysis of individual level data under the additive mode of inheritance. Data from genome-wide association studies are often analyzed jointly for the purposes of combining information from multiple studies of the same disease or comparing results across different disorders. In many instances, the same subjects appear in multiple studies. Failure to account for overlapping subjects can greatly inflate type I error when combining results from multiple studies of the same disease and can drastically reduce power when comparing results across different disorders.

PrimerStudio Resource Report Resource Website 1+ mentions |
PrimerStudio (RRID:SCR_008232) | database, data or information resource | PrimerParadise is an online PCR primer database for genomics studies. The database contains predesigned PCR primers for amplification of exons, genes and SNPs of almost all sequenced genomes. Primers can be used for genome-wide projects (resequencing, mutation analysis, SNP detection etc). The primers for eukaryotic genomes have been tested with e-PCR to make sure that no alternative products will be generated. Also, all eukaryotic primers have been filtered to exclude primers that bind excessively throughout the genome. Genes are amplified as amplicons. Amplicons are defined as only one genes exons containing maximaly 3000 bp long dna segments. If gene is longer than 3000 bp then it is split into the segments at length 3000 bp. So for example gene at length 5000 bp is split into two segment and for both segments there were designed a separate primerpair. If genes exons length is over 3000 bp then it is split into amplicons as well. Every SNP has one primerpair. In addition of considering repetitive sequences and mono-dinucleotide repeats, we avoid designing primers to genome regions which contain other SNPs. -There are two ways to search for primers: you can use features IDs ( for SNP primers Reference ID, for gene/exon primers different IDs (Ensembl gene IDs, HUGO IDs for human genes, LocusLink IDs, RefSeq IDs, MIM IDs, NCBI gene names, SWISSPROT IDs for bacterial genes, VEGA gene IDs for human and mouse, Sanger S.pombe systematic gene names and common gene names, S.cerevisiae GeneBanks Locus, AccNo, GI IDs and common gene names) -you can use genome regions (chromosome coordinates, chromosome bands if exists) -Currently we provide 3 primers collections: proPCR for prokaryotic organisms genes primers -euPCR for eukaryotic organisms genes/exons primers -snpPCR for eukaryotic organisms SNP primers Sponsors: PrimerStudio is funded by the University of Tartu. | eukaryotic, exon, gene, amplicon, amplifcation, analysis, dinucleotide, dna, genome, genomic, molecular probe and primer databases, mononucleotide, mutation, organism, pcr, primer, prokaryotic, region, repetitive, segment, sequence, snp, snp detection | nif-0000-21334 | SCR_008232 | PrimerStudio | 2026-08-04 09:42:07 | 1 | ||||||||||

Alizadehlab: MeeboChip and HeeboChip Open Source Project Resource Report Resource Website 1+ mentions |
Alizadehlab: MeeboChip and HeeboChip Open Source Project (RRID:SCR_008384) | database, data or information resource | This is an open-source Mouse Exonic Evidence-Based Oligonucleotide Chip (MEEBOChip), and are in the process of building the human counterpart, HEEBOChip. The set of 70mers for MEEBOChip is already available from Illumina, Inc., with synthesis of HEEBOChip 70mers in progress. Both arrays are based on a novel selection of exonic long-oligonucleotides (70-mers) from a genomic annotation of the corresponding complete genome sequences, using a transcriptome-based annotation of exon structure for each genomic locus. Using a combination of existing and custom-tailored tools and datasets (including millions of mRNA and EST sequences), we built and performed a systematic examination of transcript-supported exon structure for each genomic locus at the base-pair level (i.e., exonic evidence). This strategy allowed them to select both constitutive and in many cases alternative exons for nearly every gene in the corresponding genome (e.g., protocadherin locus), allowing an unprecedented exploration of human and mouse biology. Furthermore, they used experimentally derived data to hone the selection of these 70mers, helping maximize their performance under typical fluorescent labeling and hybridization conditions. Specifically, they applied and refined the ArrayOligoSelector algorithm from Joe DeRisis laboratory to select 70mers, considering not only their uniqueness (i.e., hybridization specificity) within the content of the entire genome, but also to overcome the known biases of labeling and hybridization methods (e.g., 3-biased reverse transcription and in vitro transcription reactions). | mouse, exonic, evidence, oligonucleotide, chip, human, array, genomic, annoation, sequence, transcriptome, annotation, dataset, mrna, est, systematic, transcript, exon, locus, biology | has parent organization: Stanford University; Stanford; California | Stanford University ; UCSF ; Stowers-Institute ; Rockefeller University ; Basel University |

Migratory Locust EST Database (RRID:SCR_008201) | database, data or information resource | The migratory locust (Locusta migratoria) is an orthopteran pest and a representative member of hemimetabolous insects. Its transcriptomic data provide invaluable information for molecular entomology study of the insect and pave a way for comparative studies of other medically, agronomically, and ecologically relevant insects. This first transcriptomic database of the locust (LocustDB) has been developed, building necessary infrastructures to integrate, organize, and retrieve data that are either currently available or to be acquired in the future. It currently hosts 45,474 high quality EST sequences from the locust, which were assembled into 12,161 unigenes. This database contains original sequence data, including homologous/orthologous sequences, functional annotations, pathway analysis, and codon usage, based on conserved orthologous groups (COG), gene ontology (GO), protein domain (InterPro), and functional pathways (KEGG). It also provides information from comparative analysis based on data from the migratory locust and five other invertebrate species, such as the silkworm, the honeybee, the fruitfly, the mosquito and the nematode. LocustDB also provides information from comparative analysis based on data from the migratory locust and five other invertebrate species, such as the silkworm, the honeybee, the fruitfly, the mosquito and the nematode.

Plasmid Genome Database (RRID:SCR_008228) | database, data or information resource | The Plasmid Genome Database aims to collate biological and genomic data for all bacterial plasmids in the hopes of enabling rapid, interrogation of both meta- and genomic data. Data maintained includes access to all plasmid genomes and information on core genomic features obtained from parsing the original EMBL/DDBJ/NCBI submission. In addition a suite of third party analyses has been performed for each genome to supplement the original annotation. This site also links to Genome Atlases provided by the Centre for Biological Sequence Analysis (CBS). The motivation behind the construction of this site derived from observations from genome sequencing projects: the abundance and inferred importance of the horizontal gene pool (HGP) in bacterial adaptation and evolution. In so far as plasmids are autonomously replicating, extrachromosomal elements they are a readily identifiable and accessible component of the HGP. Also plasmids have been identified in almost all bacterial divisions, ranging in size from less than 2 kbp to > 1.5 Mbp and as such represent a defined, yet diverse and complex sample of genes in the HGP. | element, evolution, extrachromosomal, gene, adaptation, atlas, autonomous, bacterial, biological, division, genome, genomic, hgp, plasmid, pool, prokaryote databases, replicate | nif-0000-21323 | http://www.genomics.ceh.ac.uk/plasmiddb/ | SCR_008228 | PGD | 2026-08-04 09:42:04 | 21 | |||||||||

COVIBD (RRID:SCR_009155) | software application, software resource | Software application that refines linkage analysis of affected sibpairs by considering attributes or environmental exposures thought to affect disease liability. This refinement utilizes a mixture model in which a disease mutation segregates in only a fraction of the sibships, with the rest of the sibships unlinked. Covariate information is used to predict membership within the two groups corresponding to the linked and unlinked sibships. The pre-clustering model uses covariate information to first form two probabilistic clusters and then tests for excess IBD-sharing in the clusters. The Cov-IBD model determines probabilistic group membership by joint consideration of covariate and IBD values.

MedBlast Resource Report Resource Website 1+ mentions |
MedBlast (RRID:SCR_008202) | software resource | THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented August 29, 2016. An algorithm that finds articles most relevant to a genetic sequence. In the genomic era, researchers often want to know more information about a biological sequence by retrieving its related articles. However, there is no available tool yet to achieve conveniently this goal. Here, a new literature-mining tool MedBlast is developed, which uses natural language processing techniques, to retrieve the related articles of a given sequence. An online server of this program is also provided. The genome sequencing projects generate such a large amount of data every day that many molecular biologists often encounter some sequences that they know nothing about. Literature is usually the principal resource of such information. It is relatively easy to mine the articles cited by the sequence annotation; however, it is a difficult task to retrieve those relevant articles without direct citation relationship. The related articles are those described in the given sequence (gene/protein), or its redundant sequences, or the close homologs in various species. They can be divided into two classes: direct references, which include those either cited by the sequence annotation or citing the sequence in its text; indirect references, those which contain gene symbols of the given sequence. A few additional issues make the task even more complicated: (1) symbols may have aliases; and (2) one sequence may have a couple of relatives that we want to take into account too, which include redundant (e.g. protein and gene sequences) and close homologs. Here the issues are addressed by the development of the software MedBlast, which can retrieve the related articles of the given sequence automatically. MedBlast uses BLAST to extend homology relationships, precompiled species-specific thesauruses, a useful semantics technique in natural language processing (NLP), to extend alias relationship, and EUtilities toolset to search and retrieve corresponding articles of each sequence from PubMed. MedBlast take a sequence in FASTA format as input. The program first uses BLAST to search the GenBank nucleic acid and protein non-redundant (nr) databases, to extend to those homologous and corresponding nucleic acid and protein sequences. Users can input the BLAST results directly, but it is recommended to input the result of both protein and nucleic acid nr databases. The hits with low e-values are chosen as the relatives because the low similarity hits often do not contain specific information. Very long sequences, e.g. 100k, which are usually genomic sequences, are discarded too, for they do not contain specific direct references. User can adjust these parameters to meet their own needs. | gene, article, biological, data, genome, genomic, homolog, literature, medline interfaces, mining, molecular, protein, sequence, specie | National Natural Science Foundation of China 39990600-03; Knowledge Innovation Program of the Chinese Academy of Sciences KSCX2-2-07; Knowledge Innovation Program of the Chinese Academy of Sciences KJCX1-08 |
