A database of sequence alignments and phylogenetic trees for chordates and embryophytes. The Adaptive Evolution Database (TAED) was first presented as a collection of branches from chordate and embryophyte gene families with fast evolutionary rates mapped onto the NCBI taxonomy (1,2). The original gene families were from the Master Catalog and are proprietary (3). A new version of TAED is now presented as a taxonomic shell together with a gene family database. In addition to multiple sequence alignments and phylogenetic trees for all families of chordate and embryophyte sequences, the ratio of non-synonymous to synonymous nucleotide substitution rates (Ka/Ks) is provided for each branch of every phylogenetic tree. This ratio, when significantly greater than 1, is an indicator of positive selection and potentially a change of function of the encoded protein. With a gene tree to species tree mapping, the branches significantly greater than 1 are collated together in a phylogenetic context. The framework is expandable to incorporate other genomic-scale information in a phylogenetic context. Ultimately, the database is designed both to provide high-quality gene families with multiple sequence alignments and phylogenetic trees for chordates and embryophytes, and to enable asking the question, What makes each species unique at the molecular genomic level?

http://www.dddc.ac.cn/pdtd/

It is a dual function database that associates an informatics database to a structural database of known and potential drug targets. PDTD is a comprehensive, web-accessible database of drug targets, and focuses on those drug targets with known 3D-structures. PDTD contains 1207 entries covering 841 known and potential drug targets with structures from the Protein Data Bank (PDB). Drug targets of PDTD were categorized into 15 and 13 types according to two criteria: therapeutic areas and biochemical criteria. The database supports extensive searching function using PDB ID, target name and category, related disease.

http://www.physionet.org/physiobank/database/gaitpdb/

Database that contains measures of gait from 93 patients with idiopathic PD (mean age: 66.3 years; 63% men), and 73 healthy controls (mean age: 66.3 years; 55% men). The database includes the vertical ground reaction force records of subjects as they walked at their usual, self-selected pace for approximately 2 minutes on level ground. Underneath each foot were 8 sensors (Ultraflex Computer Dyno Graphy, Infotronic Inc.) that measure force (in Newtons) as a function of time. The output of each of these 16 sensors has been digitized and recorded at 100 samples per second, and the records also include two signals that reflect the sum of the 8 sensor outputs for each foot. This database also includes demographic information, measures of disease severity (i.e., using the Hoehn & Yahr staging and/or the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale) and other related measures (available in HTML or xls spreadsheet format). A subset of the database includes measures recorded as subjects performed a second task (serial 7 subtractions) while walking, which shows excerpts of swing time series from a patient with PD and a control subject, under usual walking conditions and when performing serial 7 subtractions. Under usual walking conditions, variability is larger in the patient with PD (Coefficient of Variation = 2.7%), compared to the control subject (CV = 1.3%). Variability increases during dual tasking in the subject with PD (CV = 6.5%), but not in the control subject (CV = 1.2%).

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/COG

A database for phylogenetic classification for proteins encoded in complete genomes. Clusters of Orthologous Groups of proteins (COGs) were delineated by comparing protein sequences encoded in complete genomes, representing major phylogenetic lineages. Each COG consists of individual proteins or groups of paralogs from at least 3 lineages and thus corresponds to an ancient conserved domain. Please be aware that COGs hasn't been updated in many years and will not be.

The NIEHS Genetic Alterations in Cancer (GAC) knowledgebase is a comprehensive collection of data compiled from studies reported in the published literature on genetic alterations in tumors associated with exposure to specific chemical, physical, or biological agents that can be linked to genes implicated in the development of cancers. GAC provides access to data from peer reviewed journals for hundreds of studies of gene mutations, loss of heterozygosity, and/or chromosome changes in tumors from humans, mice, or rats. Results are summarized in tables and graphic profiles that show the incidence (percent) of tumors with alterations in each gene that has been studied. Detailed data tables display results for each subject studied in the cited reference and the reference ID is hyperlinked to its PubMed abstract for more information. A mutation spectrum for individual genes and links to gene information from The Cancer Genome Anatomy Project and the Rat Genome Database are also provided.

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. (entry from Genetic Analysis Software)

The Molecular Modeling DataBase (MMDB), also known as Entrez Structure, is a database of experimentally determined structures obtained from the RCSB Protein Data Bank (PDB). MMDB is developed by the Structure Group of the NCBI Computational Biology Branch. The data processing procedure at NCBI results in the addition of a number of useful features that facilitate computation on the data and link them to many other data types in the Entrez system. The structure database is considerably smaller than Entrez''s Protein or Nucleotide databases, but a large fraction of all known protein sequences have homologs in this set, and one may often learn more about a protein by examining 3-D structures of its homologs. These are accessible as Related Structures in the Links menu of Entrez Protein sequence records (illustrated example). It is then possible to align the query protein to the structure-based sequence, as shown in the illustration on this page. Additional resources can be used along with MMDB to interactively view the structures, find similar 3D structures, learn about the types of interactions and bound chemicals that have been found to exist among the similar 3D structures, and more.
