Database of organelle proteins, and subcellular structures / complexes from compiled protein localization data from organisms spanning the eukaryotic kingdom. All data may be downloaded as a tab-delimited text file and new localization data (and localization images, etc) for any organism relevant to the data sets currently contained in Organelle DB is welcomed. The data sets in Organelle DB encompass 138 organisms with emphasis on the major model systems: S. cerevisiae, A. thaliana, D. melanogaster, C. elegans, M. musculus, and human proteins as well. In particular, Organelle DB is a central repository of yeast protein localization data, incorporating results from both previous and current (ongoing) large-scale studies of protein localization in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In addition, we have manually curated several recent subcellular proteomic studies for incorporation in Organelle DB. In total, Organelle DB is a singular resource consolidating our knowledge of the protein composition of eukaryotic organelles and subcellular structures. When available, we have included terms from the Gene Ontologies: the cellular component, molecular function, and biological process fields are discussed more fully in GO. Additionally, when available, we have included fluorescent micrographs (principally of yeast cells) visualizing the described protein localization. Organelle View is a visualization tool for yeast protein localization. It is a visually engaging way for high school and undergraduate students to learn about genetics or for visually-inclined researchers to explore Organelle DB. By revealing the data through a colorful, dimensional model, we believe that different kinds of information will come to light.

http://modencode.org/

A comprehensive encyclopedia of genomic functional elements in the model organisms C. elegans and D. melanogaster. modENCODE is run as a Research Network and the consortium is formed by 11 primary projects, divided between worm and fly, spanning the domains of gene structure, mRNA and ncRNA expression profiling, transcription factor binding sites, histone modifications and replacement, chromatin structure, DNA replication initiation and timing, and copy number variation. The raw and interpreted data from this project is vetted by a data coordinating center (DCC) to ensure consistency and completeness. The entire modENCODE data corpus is now available on the Amazon Web Services EC2 cloud. What this means is that virtual machines and virtual compute clusters that you run within the EC2 cloud can mount the modENCODE data set in whole or in part. Your software can run analyses against the data files directly without experiencing the long waits and logistics associated with copying the datasets over to your local hardware. You may also view the data using GBrowse, Dataset Search, or download the data via FTP, as well as download pre-release datasets.

http://braintrap.inf.ed.ac.uk/braintrap/

This database contains information on protein expression in the Drosophila melanogaster brain. It consists of a collection of 3D confocal datasets taken from EYFP expressing protein trap Drosophila lines from the Cambridge Protein Trap project. Currently there are 884 brain scans from 535 protein trap lines in the database. Drosophila protein trap strains were generated by the St Johnston Lab and the Russell Lab at the University of Cambridge, UK. The piggyBac insertion method was used to insert constructs containing splice acceptor and donor sites, StrepII and FLAG affinity purification tags, and an EYFP exon (Venus). Brain images were acquired by Seymour Knowles-Barley, in the Armstrong Lab at the University of Edinburgh. Whole brain mounts were imaged by confocal microscopy, with a background immunohistochemical label added to aid the identification of brain structures. Additional immunohistochemical labeling of the EYFP protein using an anti-GFP antibody was also used in most cases. The trapped protein signal (EYFP / anti-GFP), background signal (NC82 label), and the merged signal can be viewed on the website by using the corresponding channel buttons. In all images the trapped protein / EYFP signal appears green and the background / NC82 channel appears magenta. Original .lsm image files are also available for download.

http://ccdb.ucsd.edu

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented June 5, 2017. It has been merged with Cell Image Library. Database for sharing and mining cellular and subcellular high resolution 2D, 3D and 4D data from light and electron microscopy, including correlated imaging that makes unique and valuable datasets available to the scientific community for visualization, reuse and reanalysis. Techniques range from wide field mosaics taken with multiphoton microscopy to 3D reconstructions of cellular ultrastructure using electron tomography. Contributions from the community are welcome. The CCDB was designed around the process of reconstruction from 2D micrographs, capturing key steps in the process from experiment to analysis. The CCDB refers to the set of images taken from microscope the as the Microscopy Product. The microscopy product refers to a set of related 2D images taken by light (epifluorescence, transmitted light, confocal or multiphoton) or electron microscopy (conventional or high voltage transmission electron microscopy). These image sets may comprise a tilt series, optical section series, through focus series, serial sections, mosaics, time series or a set of survey sections taken in a single microscopy session that are not related in any systematic way. A given set of data may be more than one product, for example, it is possible for a set of images to be both a mosaic and a tilt series. The Microscopy Product ID serves as the accession number for the CCDB. All microscopy products must belong to a project and be stored along with key specimen preparation details. Each project receives a unique Project ID that groups together related microscopy products. Many of the datasets come from published literature, but publication is not a prerequisite for inclusion in the CCDB. Any datasets that are of high quality and interest to the scientific community can be included in the CCDB.

http://genome.ufl.edu/mapper/

A platform composed of three modules: the Database, the Search Engine, and rSNPs, for the computational identification of transcription factor binding sites (TFBSs) in multiple genomes, that combines TRANSFAC and JASPAR data with the search power of profile hidden Markov models (HMMs). The Database contains putative TFBSs found in the upstream sequences of genes from the human, mouse and D.melanogaster genomes. For each gene, they scanned the region from 10,000 base pairs upstream of the transcript start to 50 base pairs downstream of the coding sequence start against all their models. Therefore, the database contains putative binding sites in the gene promoter and in the initial introns and non-coding exons. Information displayed for each putative binding site includes the transcription factor name, its position (absolute on the chromosome, or relative to the gene), the score of the prediction, and the region of the gene the site belongs to. If the selected gene has homologs in any of the other two organisms, the program optionally displays the putative TFBSs in the homologs. The Search Engine allows the identification, visualization and selection of putative TFBSs occurring in the promoter or other regions of a gene from the human, mouse, D.melanogaster, C.elegans or S.cerevisiae genomes. In addition, it allows the user to upload a sequence to query and to build a model by supplying a multiple sequence alignment of binding sites for a transcription factor of interest. rSNPs MAPPER is designed to identify Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) that may have an effect on the presence of one or more TFBSs.
