http://vbrc.org/index.asp

One of eight Bioinformatics Resource Centers nationwide providing comprehensive web-based genomics resources including a relational database and web application supporting data storage, annotation, analysis, and information exchange to support scientific research directed at viruses belonging to the Arenaviridae, Bunyaviridae, Filoviridae, Flaviviridae, Paramyxoviridae, Poxviridae, and Togaviridae families. These centers serve the scientific community and conduct basic and applied research on microorganisms selected from the NIH/NIAID Category A, B, and C priority pathogens that are regarded as possible bioterrorist threats or as emerging or re-emerging infectious diseases. The VBRC provides a variety of analytical and visualization tools to aid in the understanding of the available data, including tools for genome annotation, comparative analysis, whole genome alignments, and phylogenetic analysis. Each data release contains the complete genomic sequences for all viral pathogens and related strains that are available for species in the above-named families. In addition to sequence data, the VBRC provides a curation for each virus species, resulting in a searchable, comprehensive mini-review of gene function relating genotype to biological phenotype, with special emphasis on pathogenesis.

Software package that provides methods for gene set enrichment analysis of high-throughput RNA-Seq data by integrating differential expression and splicing. It uses negative binomial distribution to model read count data, which accounts for sequencing biases and biological variation. Based on permutation tests, statistical significance can also be achieved regarding each gene''s differential expression and splicing, respectively.

http://vortex.cs.wayne.edu/projects.htm#Onto-Translate

In the annotation world, the same piece of information can be stored and viewed differently across different databases. For instance, more than one Affymetrix probe ID can refer to the same GenBank sequence (accession number) and more than one nucleotide sequence from GenBank can be grouped in a single UniGene cluster. The result of Onto-Express depends on whether the input list contains Affymetrix probe IDs, GenBank accession numbers or UniGene cluster IDs. The user has to be aware of relations between the different forms of the data in order to interpret correctly the results. Even if the user is aware of the relationships and knows how to convert them, most existing tools allow conversions of individual genes. Onto-Translate is a tool that allows the user to perform easily such translations. Affymetrix probe IDs, etc., translate GO terms into other identifiers like GenBank accession number, Uniprot IDs. User account required. Platform: Online tool

ToppGene Suite is a one-stop portal for gene list enrichment analysis and candidate gene prioritization based on functional annotations and protein interactions network. ToppGene Suite is a one-stop portal for (i) gene list functional enrichment, (ii) candidate gene prioritization using either functional annotations or network analysis and (iii) identification and prioritization of novel disease candidate genes in the interactome. Functional annotation-based disease candidate gene prioritization uses a fuzzy-based similarity measure to compute the similarity between any two genes based on semantic annotations. The similarity scores from individual features are combined into an overall score using statistical meta-analysis.

http://www.gotaxexplorer.de/

GOTaxExplorer presents a new approach to comparative genomics that integrates functional information and families with the taxonomic classification. It integrates UniProt, Gene Ontology, NCBI Taxonomy, Pfam and SMART in one database. GOTaxExplorer provides four different query types: selection of entity sets, comparison of sets of Pfam families, semantic comparison of sets of GO terms, functional comparison of sets of gene products. This permits to select custom sets of GO terms, families or taxonomic groups. For example, it is possible to compare arbitrarily selected organisms or groups of organisms from the taxonomic tree on the basis of the functionality of their genes. Furthermore, it enables to determine the distribution of specific molecular functions or protein families in the taxonomy. The comparison of sets of GO terms allows to assess the semantic similarity of two different GO terms. The functional comparison of gene products makes it possible to identify functionally equivalent and functionally related gene products from two organisms on the basis of GO annotations and a semantic similarity measure for GO. Platform: Online tool, Windows compatible, Mac OS X compatible, Linux compatible, Unix compatible

The Hemorrhagic Fever Viruses (HFV) sequence database collects and stores sequence data and provides a user-friendly search interface and a large number of sequence analysis tools, following the model of the highly regarded and widely used Los Alamos HIV database. The database uses an algorithm that aligns each sequence to a species-wide reference sequence. The NCBI RefSeq database is used for this; if a reference sequence is not available, a Blast search finds the best candidate. Using this method, sequences in each genus can be retrieved pre-aligned. Hemorrhagic fever viruses (HFVs) are a diverse set of over 80 viral species, found in 10 different genera comprising five different families: arena-, bunya-, flavi-, filo- and togaviridae. All these viruses are highly variable and evolve rapidly, making them elusive targets for the immune system and for vaccine and drug design. About 55,000 HFV sequences exist in the public domain today. A central website that provides annotated sequences and analysis tools will be helpful to HFV researchers worldwide.

http://fungidb.org/fungidb/

FungiDB is a database for functional and evolutionary comparison of fungal genomes. FungiDB is a functional genomic resource for pan-fungal genomes that was developed in partnership with the Eukaryotic Pathogen Bioinformatic resource center (http://EuPathDB.org). FungiDB uses the same infrastructure and user interface as EuPathDB, which allows for sophisticated and integrated searches to be performed using an intuitive graphical system. The current release of FungiDB contains genome sequence and annotation from 18 species spanning several fungal classes, including the Ascomycota classes, Eurotiomycetes, Sordariomycetes, Saccharomycetes and the Basidiomycota orders, Pucciniomycetes and Tremellomycetes, and the basal "Zygomycete" lineage Mucormycotina. Additionally, FungiDB contains cell cycle microarray data, hyphal growth RNA-sequence data and yeast two hybrid interaction data. The underlying genomic sequence and annotation combined with functional data, additional data from the FungiDB standard analysis pipeline and the ability to leverage orthology provides a powerful resource for in silico experimentation.

Each summer we offer a week-long course on high-speed imaging through the MIT Professional Institute. This subject (6.51s) is designed for scientists, engineers, and photographers who need to gather data on rapidly moving subjects and events for study, motion analysis, and trouble-shooting. Mornings are spent in the lecture hall learning the fundamentals for lighting, imaging technologies, and motion analysis. Afternoons are spent making high-speed images in the laboratory. For MIT students, we offer the popular Strobe Project Lab (6.163) to 24 students each term, where students learn the fundamentals of high-speed imaging and apply these techniques to final projects of their own choosing. Two subjects are offered that investigate digital imaging and image manipulation, SP.757 in Fall terms, and SP.747 in Spring terms.

Combines collections of genetic variants (GVs) from GWAS and their comprehensive functional annotations, as well as disease classifications. Used to maximize utilility of GWAS data to gain biological insights through integrative, multi-dimensional functional annotation portal. In addition to all GVs annotated in NHGRI GWAS Catalog, we manually curate GVs that are marginally significant (P value < 10-3) by looking into supplementary materials of each original publication and provide extensive functional annotations for these GVs. GVs are manually classified by diseases according to Disease Ontology Lite and HPO (Human Phenotype Ontology) for easy access. Database can also conduct gene based pathway enrichment and PPI network association analysis for those diseases with sufficient variants. SOAP services are available. You may Download GWASdb SNP. (This file contains all of the significant SNP in GWASdb. In the pvalue column, 0 means this P-value is not reported in the study but it is significant SNP. In the source column, GWAS:A represents the original data in GWAS catalog, while GWAS:B is our curation data which P-value < 10-3)
