http://www.uniprot.org/program/Chordata

Data set of manually annotated chordata-specific proteins as well as those that are widely conserved. The program keeps existing human entries up-to-date and broadens the manual annotation to other vertebrate species, especially model organisms, including great apes, cow, mouse, rat, chicken, zebrafish, as well as Xenopus laevis and Xenopus tropicalis. A draft of the complete human proteome is available in UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot and one of the current priorities of the Chordata protein annotation program is to improve the quality of human sequences provided. To this aim, they are updating sequences which show discrepancies with those predicted from the genome sequence. Dubious isoforms, sequences based on experimental artifacts and protein products derived from erroneous gene model predictions are also revisited. This work is in part done in collaboration with the Hinxton Sequence Forum (HSF), which allows active exchange between UniProt, HAVANA, Ensembl and HGNC groups, as well as with RefSeq database. UniProt is a member of the Consensus CDS project and thye are in the process of reviewing their records to support convergence towards a standard set of protein annotation. They also continuously update human entries with functional annotation, including novel structural, post-translational modification, interaction and enzymatic activity data. In order to identify candidates for re-annotation, they use, among others, information extraction tools such as the STRING database. In addition, they regularly add new sequence variants and maintain disease information. Indeed, this annotation program includes the Variation Annotation Program, the goal of which is to annotate all known human genetic diseases and disease-linked protein variants, as well as neutral polymorphisms.

Preprocessed versions of the ADHD-200 Global Competition data including both preprocessed versions of structural and functional datasets previously made available by the ADHD-200 consortium, as well as initial standard subject-level analyses. The ADHD-200 Sample is pleased to announce the unrestricted public release of 776 resting-state fMRI and anatomical datasets aggregated across 8 independent imaging sites, 491 of which were obtained from typically developing individuals and 285 in children and adolescents with ADHD (ages: 7-21 years old). Accompanying phenotypic information includes: diagnostic status, dimensional ADHD symptom measures, age, sex, intelligence quotient (IQ) and lifetime medication status. Preliminary quality control assessments (usable vs. questionable) based upon visual timeseries inspection are included for all resting state fMRI scans. In accordance with HIPAA guidelines and 1000 Functional Connectomes Project protocols, all datasets are anonymous, with no protected health information included. They hope this release will open collaborative possibilities and contributions from researchers not traditionally addressing brain data so for those whose specialties lay outside of MRI and fMRI data processing, the competition is now one step easier to join. The preprocessed data is being made freely available through efforts of The Neuro Bureau as well as the ADHD-200 consortium. They ask that you acknowledge both of these organizations in any publications (conference, journal, etc.) that make use of this data. None of the preprocessing would be possible without the freely available imaging analysis packages, so please also acknowledge the relevant packages and resources as well as any other specific release related acknowledgements. You must be logged into NITRC to download the ADHD-200 datasets, http://www.nitrc.org/projects/neurobureau

http://www.broadinstitute.org/annotation/tetraodon/

This database have been funded by the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) to produce shotgun sequence of the Tetraodon nigriviridis genome. The strategy involves Whole Genome Shotgun (WGS) sequencing, in which sequence from the entire genome is generated. Whole genome shotgun libraries were prepared from Tetraodon genomic DNA obtained from the laboratory of Jean Weissenbach at Genoscope. Additional sequence data of approximately 2.5X coverage of Tetraodon has also been generated by Genoscope in plasmid and BAC end reads. Broad and Genoscope intend to pool their data and generate whole genome assemblies. Tetraodon nigroviridis is a freshwater pufferfish of the order Tetraodontiformes and lives in the rivers and estuaries of Indonesia, Malaysia and India. This species is 20-30 million years distant from Fugu rubripes, a marine pufferfish from the same family. The gene repertoire of T. nigroviridis is very similar to that of other vertebrates. However, its relatively small genome of 385 Mb is eight times more compact than that of human, mostly because intergenic and intronic sequences are reduced in size compared to other vertebrate genomes. These genome characteristics along with the large evolutionary distance between bony fish and mammals make Tetraodon a compact vertebrate reference genome - a powerful tool for comparative genetics and for quick and reliable identification of human genes.

http://cgap.nci.nih.gov/Chromosomes/Mitelman

The web site includes genomic data for humans and mice, including transcript sequence, gene expression patterns, single-nucleotide polymorphisms, clone resources, and cytogenetic information. Descriptions of the methods and reagents used in deriving the CGAP datasets are also provided. An extensive suite of informatics tools facilitates queries and analysis of the CGAP data by the community. One of the newest features of the CGAP web site is an electronic version of the Mitelman Database of Chromosome Aberrations in Cancer. The data in the Mitelman Database is manually culled from the literature and subsequently organized into three distinct sub-databases, as follows: -The sub-database of cases contains the data that relates chromosomal aberrations to specific tumor characteristics in individual patient cases. It can be searched using either the Cases Quick Searcher or the Cases Full Searcher. -The sub-database of molecular biology and clinical associations contains no data from individual patient cases. Instead, the data is pulled from studies with distinct information about: -Molecular biology associations that relate chromosomal aberrations and tumor histologies to genomic sequence data, typically genes rearranged as a consequence of structural chromosome changes. -Clinical associations that relate chromosomal aberrations and/or gene rearrangements and tumor histologies to clinical variables, such as prognosis, tumor grade, and patient characteristics. It can be searched using the Molecular Biology and Clinical (MBC) Associations Searcher -The reference sub-database contains all the references culled from the literature i.e., the sum of the references from the cases and the molecular biology and clinical associations. It can be searched using the Reference Searcher. CGAP has developed six web search tools to help you analyze the information within the Mitelman Database: -The Cases Quick Searcher allows you to query the individual patient cases using the four major fields: aberration, breakpoint, morphology, and topography. -The Cases Full Searcher permits a more detailed search of the same individual patient cases as above, by including more cytogenetic field choices and adding search fields for patient characteristics and references. -The Molecular Biology Associations Searcher does not search any of the individual patient cases. It searches studies pertaining to gene rearrangements as a consequence of cytogenetic aberrations. -The Clinical Associations Searcher does not search any of the individual patient cases. It searches studies pertaining to clinical associations of cytogenetic aberrations and/or gene rearrangements. -The Recurrent Chromosome Aberrations Searcher provides a way to search for structural and numerical abnormalities that are recurrent, i.e., present in two or more cases with the same morphology and topography. -The Reference Searcher queries only the references themselves, i.e., the references from the individual cases and the molecular biology and clinical associations. Sponsors: This database is sponsored by the University of Lund, Sweden and have support from the Swedish Cancer Society and the Swedish Children''s Cancer Foundation

The Genetic Association Database is an archive of human genetic association studies of complex diseases and disorders. The goal of this database is to allow the user to rapidly identify medically relevant polymorphism from the large volume of polymorphism and mutational data, in the context of standardized nomenclature. The data is from published scientific papers. Study data is recorded in the context of official human gene nomenclature with additional molecular reference numbers and links. It is gene centered. That is, each record is a record of a gene or marker. If a study investigated 6 genes for a particular disorder, there will be 6 records. Anyone may view this database and anyone may submit records. You do not have to be an author on the original study to submit a record. All submitted records will be reviewed before inclusion in the archive. Both genetic and environmental factors contribute to human diseases. Most common diseases are influenced by a large number of genetic and environmental factors, most of which individually have only a modest effect on the disease. Though genetic contributions are relatively well characterized for some monogenetic diseases, there has been no effort at curating the extensive list of environmental etiological factors. From a comprehensive search of the MeSH annotation of MEDLINE articles, they identified 3,342 environmental etiological factors associated with 3,159 diseases. They also identified 1,100 genes associated with 1,034 complex diseases from the NIH Genetic Association Database (GAD), a database of genetic association studies. 863 diseases have both genetic and environmental etiological factors available. Integrating genetic and environmental factors results in the etiome, which they define as the comprehensive compendium of disease etiology.

IRIS is a toxicology data file on the National Library of Medicine''s (NLM) Toxicology Data Network. It contains data in support of human health risk assessment. It is compiled by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and contains over 500 chemical records. It is a compilation of electronic reports on specific substances found in the environment and their potential to cause human health effects. IRIS was initially developed for EPA staff in response to a growing demand for consistent information on substances for use in risk assessments, decision-making and regulatory activities. The information in IRIS is intended for those without extensive training in toxicology, but with some knowledge of health sciences. The Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) is an electronic database containing information on human health effects that may result from exposure to various substances in the environment. IRIS is prepared and maintained by the EPAs National Center for Environmental Assessment (NCEA) within the Office of Research and Development (ORD). The heart of the IRIS system is its collection of searchable documents that describe the health effects of individual substances and that contain descriptive and quantitative information in the following categories: -Noncancer effects: Oral reference doses and inhalation reference concentrations (RfDs and RfCs, respectively) for effects known or assumed to be produced through a nonlinear (possibly threshold) mode of action. In most instances, RfDs and RfCs are developed for the noncarcinogenic effects of substances. -Cancer effects: Descriptors that characterize the weight of evidence for human carcinogenicity, oral slope factors, and oral and inhalation unit risks for carcinogenic effects. Where a nonlinear mode of action is established, RfD and RfC values may be used.

SYFPEITHI is a database comprising more than 7000 peptide sequences known to bind class I and class II MHC molecules. The entries are compiled from published reports only. It contains a collection of MHC class I and class II ligands and peptide motifs of humans and other species, such as apes, cattle, chicken, and mouse, for example, and is continuously updated. Searches for MHC alleles, MHC motifs, natural ligands, T-cell epitopes, source proteins/organisms and references are possible. Hyperlinks to the EMBL and PubMed databases are included. In addition, ligand predictions are available for a number of MHC allelic products. The database is based on previous publications on T-cell epitopes and MHC ligands. It contains information on: -Peptide sequences -anchor positions -MHC specificity -source proteins, source organisms -publication references Since the number of motifs continuously increases, it was necessary to set up a database which facilitates the search for peptides and allows the prediction of T-cell epitopes. The prediction is based on published motifs (pool sequencing, natural ligands) and takes into consideration the amino acids in the anchor and auxiliary anchor positions, as well as other frequent amino acids. The score is calculated according to the following rules: The amino acids of a certain peptide are given a specific value depending on whether they are anchor, auxiliary anchor or preferred residue. Ideal anchors will be given 10 points, unusual anchors 6-8 points, auxiliary anchors 4-6 and preferred residues 1-4 points. Amino acids that are regarded as having a negative effect on the binding ability are given values between -1 and -3. Sponsors: SYFPEITHI is supported by DFG-Sonderforschungsbereich 685 and theEuropean Union: EU BIOMED CT95-1627, BIOTECH CT95-0263, and EU QLQ-CT-1999-00713.
