http://www.gigasciencejournal.com/

An online open-access open-data journal, publishing ''big-data'' studies from the entire spectrum of life and biomedical sciences whose publication format links standard manuscript publication with its affiliated database, GigaDB, that hosts all associated data, provides data analysis tools, cloud-computing resources, and a DOI assignment to every dataset. GigaScience covers not just ''omic'' type data and the fields of high-throughput biology currently serviced by large public repositories, but also the growing range of more difficult-to-access data, such as imaging, neuroscience, ecology, cohort data, systems biology and other new types of large-scale sharable data. Supporting the open-data movement, they require that all supporting data and source code be publicly available in a suitable public repository and/or under a public domain CC0 license in the BGI GigaScience database. Using the BGI cloud as a test environment, they also consider open-source software tools / methods for the analysis or handling of large-scale data. When submitting a manuscript, please contact them if you have datasets or cloud applications you would like them to host. To maximize data usability submitters are encouraged to follow best practice for metadata reporting and are given the opportunity to submit in ISA-Tab format.

http://pre.ensembl.org/index.html

Database of genomes that are in the process of being annotated are provided as an early access site for users. Genomes are here when the initial BLAST analysis on a new assembly has been done but the gene build has not been completed. Owing to the preliminary nature of the data, Pre-Ensembl provides views of the assembly, BLAST against the assembly and download of portions of the assembly - and little else. A number of ready-made tools for processing your data are also available. In general a full Ensembl release takes months depending on how complex the data are and the time constraints of people in the team. Occasionally a more complete gene build will be released on this site, but without any comparative genomics, variation or other additional data. Many other species with fully annotated genomic data, more website features and documentation are available at www.ensembl.org

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://research.nhgri.nih.gov/dog_genome/

The Dog Genome Project at the National Human Genome Research Institute is working to develop resources necessary to map and clone canine genes in an effort to utilize dogs as a model system for genetics and cancer research. The US National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) agreed to fund a project to sequence the entire genome of a boxer dog named Tasha, because it recognized the value of the dog as an unrivaled model for the study of human disease. The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) led the National Institutes of Health's (NIH) contribution to the International Human Genome Project, which had as its primary goal the sequencing of the human genome. This project was successfully completed in April 2003. Now, the NHGRI's mission has expanded to encompass a broad range of studies aimed at understanding the structure and function of the human genome and its role in health and disease. To that end NHGRI supports the development of resources and technology that will accelerate genome research and its application to human health. A critical part of the NHGRI mission continues to be the study of the ethical, legal and social implications (ELSI) of genome research. NHGRI also supports the training of investigators and the dissemination of genome information to the public and to health professionals.

ooTFD (object-oriented Transcription Factors Database) is a successor to TFD, the original Transcription Factors Database. This database is aimed at capturing information regarding the polypeptide interactions which comprise and define the properties of transcription factors. ooTFD contains information about transcription factor binding sites, as well as composite relationships within transcription factors, which frequently occur as multisubunit proteins that form a complex interface to cellular processes outside the transcription machinery through protein-protein interactions. ooTFD contains information represented in TFD but also allows the representation of containment, composite, and interaction relationships between transcription factor polypeptides. It is designed to represent information about all transcription factors, both eukaryotic and prokaryotic, basal as well as regulatory factors, and multiprotein complexes as well as monomers.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 23,2022. The Arabidopsis gene Expression Database collects Arabidopsis gene expression data from genome-wide and gene-specific sources and integrative search tools are provided. Currently the database contains only root gene expression data, but has the capability to contain data from any part of the plant. The aim of Arabidopsis gene Expression Database is to: (1) Integrate genome-wide and gene-specific ("traditional") types of expression pattern data, using ontologies to describe data whenever possible, in particular to describe expression patterns. (2) Provide user-friendly search tools, for example to search for genes expressed with a certain pattern, or to search for the expression pattern of specific genes (from gene-specific experiments and from microarray data). Expression pattern predicted from the microarray data is called digital in situ.
