http://www.alzgene.org/

The AlzGene database provides a comprehensive, unbiased and regularly updated field synopsis of genetic association studies performed in Alzheimer''s disease. In addition, hundreds of up-to-date meta-analyses are available for all eligible polymorphisms with sufficient data. In addition to identifying the epsilon4 allele of APOE and related effects, we pinpointed over a dozen potential Alzheimer disease susceptibility genes (ACE, CHRNB2, CST3, ESR1, GAPDHS, IDE, MTHFR, NCSTN, PRNP, PSEN1, TF, TFAM and TNF) with statistically significant allelic summary odds ratios (ranging from 1.11-1.38 for risk alleles and 0.92-0.67 for protective alleles). Our database provides a powerful tool for deciphering the genetics of Alzheimer disease, and it serves as a potential model for tracking the most viable gene candidates in other genetically complex diseases.

http://www.pdgene.org/

The PDGene database aims to provide a comprehensive, unbiased and regularly updated collection of genetic association studies performed on Parkinson's disease (PD) phenotypes. Eligible publications are identified following systematic searches of scientific literature databases, as well as the table of contents of journals in genetics, neurology, and psychiatry. The database can be searched either by a variety of dropdown menus or by specific keywords. For each gene, summary overviews are provided displaying key characteristics for each publication, including links to genotype distributions of the polymorphisms studied, random-effects allelic meta-analyses, and funnel plots for an assessment of publication bias. The PDGene database, developed by Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard Medical School, The Michael J. Fox Foundation and the Alzheimer Research Forum, is supported by a grant from The Michael J. Fox Foundation in partnership with the Alzheimer Research Forum.

http://funspec.med.utoronto.ca/

FunSpec is a web-based tool for statistical evaluation of groups of genes and proteins (e.g. co-regulated genes, protein complexes, genetic interactors) with respect to existing annotations, including GO terms. FunSpec (an acronym for Functional Specification) inputs a list of yeast gene names, and outputs a summary of functional classes, cellular localizations, protein complexes, etc. that are enriched in the list. The classes and categories evaluated were downloaded from the MIPS Database and the GO Database . In addition, many published datasets have been compiled to evaluate enrichment against. Hypertext links to the publications are given. The p-values, calculated using the hypergeometric distribution, represent the probability that the intersection of given list with any given functional category occurs by chance. The Bonferroni-correction divides the p-value threshold, that would be deemed significant for an individual test, by the number of tests conducted and thus accounts for spurious significance due to multiple testing over the categories of a database. After the Bonferroni correction, only those categories are displayed for which the chance probability of enrichment is lower than: p-value/#CD where #CD is the number of categories in the selected database. Without the Bonferroni Correction, all categories are displayed for which the same probability of enrichment is lower than: p-value threshold in an individual test Note that many genes are contained in many categories, especially in the MIPS database (which are hierarchical) and that this can create biases for which FunSpec currently makes no compensation. Also the databases are treated as independent from one another, which is really not the case, and each is searched seperately, which may not be optimal for statistical calculations. Nonetheless, we find it useful for sifting through the results of clustering analysis, TAP pulldowns, etc. Platform: Online tool

http://www.broadinstitute.org/mammals/haploreg/haploreg.php

HaploReg is a tool for exploring annotations of the noncoding genome at variants on haplotype blocks, such as candidate regulatory SNPs at disease-associated loci. Using linkage disequilibrium (LD) information from the 1000 Genomes Project, linked SNPs and small indels can be visualized along with their predicted chromatin state in nine cell types, conservation across mammals, and their effect on regulatory motifs. HaploReg is designed for researchers developing mechanistic hypotheses of the impact of non-coding variants on clinical phenotypes and normal variation.

http://dgv.tcag.ca/

Collection of curated structural variation in the human genome. Catalogue of human genomic structural variation identified in healthy control samples for studies aiming to correlate genomic variation with phenotypic data. It is continuously updated with new data from peer reviewed research studies. The Database is no longer accepting direct submission of data as they are currently part of a collaboration with two new archival CNV databases at EBI and NCBI, called DGVa and dbVAR, respectively. One of the changes to DGV as part of this collaborative effort is that they will no longer be accepting direct submissions, but rather obtain the datasets from DGVa (short for DGV archive). This will ensure that the three databases are synchronized, and will allow for an official accessioning of variants.

http://www.cpc.unc.edu/projects/addhealth

Longitudinal study of a nationally representative sample of adolescents in grades 7-12 in the United States during the 1994-95 school year. Public data on about 21,000 people first surveyed in 1994 are available on the first phases of the study, as well as study design specifications. It also includes some parent and biomarker data. The Add Health cohort has been followed into young adulthood with four in-home interviews, the most recent in 2008, when the sample was aged 24-32. Add Health combines longitudinal survey data on respondents social, economic, psychological and physical well-being with contextual data on the family, neighborhood, community, school, friendships, peer groups, and romantic relationships, providing unique opportunities to study how social environments and behaviors in adolescence are linked to health and achievement outcomes in young adulthood. The fourth wave of interviews expanded the collection of biological data in Add Health to understand the social, behavioral, and biological linkages in health trajectories as the Add Health cohort ages through adulthood. The restricted-use contract includes four hours of free consultation with appropriate staff; after that, there''s a fee for help. Researchers can also share information through a listserv devoted to the database.

A database of information about each Cancer-Testis (CT) gene, its gene products and the immune response induced in cancer patients by these proteins. CT antigens are proteins normally expressed only in the human germ line but that are also present in a significant subset of malignant tumors. The practical importance of these proteins is that due to their restricted expression pattern they are frequently recognized by the immune system of cancer patients. Moreover, this antigenicity has raised the possibility of their being used as vaccines to actively stimulate immune responses in order to combat tumor growth. As a result worldwide research into many aspects of CT antigens is rapidly growing prompting the construction of this database as a resource for investigators involved in this area.

CATdb collects together all the information on transcriptome experiments done at URGV with CATMA micro arrays. All data in CATdb come from the URGV micro array platforms. Common procedures are used including any steps from the experiment design to the statistical analyses. Directed through a WEB interface, biologists enter the standard description of each experimental step (extraction, labelling, hybridization and scanning). Then, normalization and statistical analyses are done following a set of selected methods depending on the experimental design and array types.

Datasets and tools for comparative analysis and annotation of all publicly available genomes from three domains of life in a uniquely integrated context. Plasmids that are not part of a specific microbial genome sequencing project and phage genomes are also included in order to increase its genomic context for comparative analysis. The user interface (see User Interface Map) allows navigating the microbial genome data space along its three key dimensions (genes, genomes, and functions), and groups together the main comparative analysis tools. Microbial genome data analysis in IMG usually starts with the definition of an analysis context in terms of selected genomes, functional annotations, and/or genes, followed by the individual or comparative analysis of genomes, functional annotations, or genes.
