A manually curated database of both known and predicted metabolic pathways for the laboratory mouse. It has been integrated with genetic and genomic data for the laboratory mouse available from the Mouse Genome Informatics database and with pathway data from other organisms, including human. The database records for 1,060 genes in Mouse Genome Informatics (MGI) are linked directly to 294 pathways with 1,790 compounds and 1,122 enzymatic reactions in MouseCyc. (Aug. 2013) BLAST and other tools are available. The initial focus for the development of MouseCyc is on metabolism and includes such cell level processes as biosynthesis, degradation, energy production, and detoxification. MouseCyc differs from existing pathway databases and software tools because of the extent to which the pathway information in MouseCyc is integrated with the wealth of biological knowledge for the laboratory mouse that is available from the Mouse Genome Informatics (MGI) database.

This is a portal to the consensus yeast metabolic network as reconstructed from the genome sequence and literature. It is a highly annotated metabolic map that is periodically updated by a team of collaborators from various research groups. The first version of this reconstruction was published in Herrgrd, Swainston et al. (2008) A consensus yeast metabolic reconstruction obtained from a community approach to systems biology Nature Biotechnol. 26, 1155-1160 (you can access that network here). A second version has now been released and is awaiting publication. We plan on continuing to update this resource towards a complete metabolic network of yeast. All versions will remain accessible for historical purposes, however it is highly recommended that you always use the latest one since that is the most up to date. This effort started on the shoulders of a number of reconstructions of the metabolic network of yeast based on genomic and literature data that were published separately. (iMM904 and iLL672) However, due to the different approaches utilized in them, those earlier reconstructions had a significant number of differences. In addition they suffered from the use of non-standard names and overall they were not annotated with methods that are machine-readable. A community effort in 2007, led by the Manchester Centre for Integrative Systems Biology and the YSBN resulted in a consensus network representation of yeast metabolism, reconciling the earlier results. That effort is now ongoing under the leadership of the MCISB and with collaboration with colleagues under the UNICELLSYS FP7 project. Availability The network reconstruction is primarily assembled and provided as an SBML file enriched with MIRIAM-compliant annotations (which are embedded in the SBML through RDF). All small and macro- molecules are referenced to an authoritative database (e.g. Uniprot, ChEBI, etc.). All molecules and reactions are also annotated with appropriate publications that contain supporting evidence. Thus this network is entirely traceable and is presented in a computational framework. SBML is a format that is understood by a large number of software applications (see sbml.org). While the SBML file is the most efficient computational resource for these data, casual users also need access to the network. That is provided by a searchable relational database accessed directly from this website. The database pages also allow readers to add comments to any chemical species or reaction. Such comments are taken into consideration by the team collating new versions of the network and can lead to corrections and additions to the network. This reconstruction is provided in the following formats: :* an SBML file containing the reaction network and annotations, located to specific sub-cellular compartments :* an SBML file containing the reaction network and annotations without subcellular compartmentation (all reactions happening in a single compartment). :* a searcheable relational database, which uses the B-Net software from Pedro Mendes' group. The database version of this data set is managed with the B-Net software created in Pedro Mendes' group at the Virginia Bioinformatics Institute. B-Net's schema is a detailed representation of the underlying biochemistry and regulation. A number of reconstructions of the metabolic network of yeast based on genomic and literature data have been published. However, due to different approaches utilized in the reconstruction as well as different interpretations of the literature, the earlier reconstructions have significant number of differences. A community effort resulted in a consensus network model of yeast metabolism, combining results from previous models.

The Structural Genomics Project aims at determination of the 3D structure of all proteins. It also aims to reduce the cost and time required to determine three-dimensional protein structures. It supports selection, registration, and tracking of protein families and representative targets. This aim can be achieved in four steps : -Organize known protein sequences into families. -Select family representatives as targets. -Solve the 3D structure of targets by X-ray crystallography or NMR spectroscopy. -Build models for other proteins by homology to solved 3D structures. PSI has established a high-throughput structure determination pipeline focused on eukaryotic proteins. NMR spectroscopy is an integral part of this pipeline, both as a method for structure determinations and as a means for screening proteins for stable structure. Because computational approaches have estimated that many eukaryotic proteins are highly disordered, about 1 year into the project, CESG began to use an algorithm. The project has been organized into two separate phases. The first phase was dedicated to demonstrating the feasibility of high-throughput structure determination, solving unique protein structures, and preparing for a subsequent production phase. The second phase, PSI-2, has focused on implementing the high-throughput structure determination methods developed in PSI-1, as well as homology modeling and addressing bottlenecks like modeling membrane proteins. The first phase of the Protein Structure Initiative (PSI-1) saw the establishment of nine pilot centers focusing on structural genomics studies of a range of organisms, including Arabidopsis thaliana, Caenorhabditis elegans and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. During this five-year period over 1,100 protein structures were determined, over 700 of which were classified as unique due to their < 30% sequence similarity with other known protein structures. The primary goal of PSI-1 was to develop methods to streamline the structure determination process, resulted in an array of technical advances. Several methods developed during PSI-1 enhanced expression of recombinant proteins in systems like Escherichia coli, Pichia pastoris and insect cell lines. New streamlined approaches to cell cloning, expression and protein purification were also introduced, in which robotics and software platforms were integrated into the protein production pipeline to minimize required manpower, increase speed, and lower costs. The goal of the second phase of the Protein Structure Initiative (PSI-2) is to use methods introduced in PSI-1 to determine a large number of proteins and continue development in streamlining the structural genomics pipeline. Currently, the third phase of the PSI is being developed and will be called PSI: Biology. The consortia will propose work on substantial biological problems that can benefit from the determination of many protein structures Sponsors: PSI is funded by the U.S. National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS),

Rice Genome Research Program (RGP) is an integral part of the Japanese Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) Genome Research Project. RGP now aims to completely sequence the entire rice genome and subsequently to pursue integrated goals in functional genomics, genome informatics and applied genomics. It is jointly coordinated by the National Institute of Agrobiological Sciences (NIAS), a government research institute under MAFF and the Society for Techno-innovation of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (STAFF), a semi-private research organization managed and supported by MAFF and a consortium of some twenty Japanese companies. The research is funded with yearly grants from MAFF and additional funds from the Japan Racing Association (JRA). It is now the leading member of the International Rice Genome Sequencing Project (IRGSP), a consortium of ten countries sharing the sequencing of the 12 rice chromosomes. The IRGSP adopts the clone-by-clone shotgun sequencing strategy so that each sequenced clone can be associated with a specific position on the genetic map and adheres to the policy of immediate release of the sequence data to the public domain. In December 2004, the IRGSP completed the sequencing of the rice genome. The high-quality and map-based sequence of the entire genome is now available in public databases.

The HumanCyc database describes human metabolic pathways and the human genome. By presenting metabolic pathways as an organizing framework for the human genome, HumanCyc provides the user with an extended dimension for functional analysis of Homo sapiens at the genomic level. A computational pathway analysis of the human genome assigned human enzymes to predicted metabolic pathways. Pathway assignments place genes in their larger biological context, and are a necessary step toward quantitative modeling of metabolism. HumanCyc contains the complete genome sequence of Homo sapiens, as presented in Build 31. Data on the human genome from Ensembl, LocusLink and GenBank were carefully merged to create a minimally redundant human gene set to serve as an input to SRI''s PathoLogic software, which generated the database and predicted Homo sapiens metabolic pathways from functional information contained in the genome''s annotation. SRI did not re-annotate the genome, but worked with the gene function assignments in Ensembl, LocusLink, and GenBank. The resulting pathway/genome database (PGDB) includes information on 28,783 genes, their products and the metabolic reactions and pathways they catalyze. Also included are many links to other databases and publications. The Pathway Tools software/database bundle includes HumanCyc and the Pathway Tools software suite and is available under license. This form of HumanCyc is faster and more powerful than the Web version.

http://www.geisha.arizona.edu/geisha/

Online repository for chicken in situ hybridization information. This site presents whole mount in situ hybridization images and corresponding probe and genomic information for genes expressed in chicken embryos in Hamburger Hamilton stages 1-25 (0.5-5 days). The GEISHA project began in 1998 to investigate using high throughput whole mount in situ hybridization to identify novel, differentially expressed genes in chicken embryos. An initial expression screen of approximately 900 genes demonstrated feasibility of the approach, and also highlighted the need for a centralized repository of in situ hybridization expression data. Objectives: The goals of the GEISHA project are to obtain whole mount in situ hybridization expression information for all differentially expressed genes in the chicken embryo between HH stages 1-25, to integrate expression data with the chicken genome browsers, and to offer this information through a user-friendly graphical user interface. In situ hybridization images are obtained from three sources: 1. In house high throughput in situ hybridization screening: cDNAs obtained from several embryonic cDNA libraries or from EST repositories are screened for expression using high throughput in situ hybridization approaches. 2. Literature curation: Agreements with journals permit posting of published in situ hybridization images and related information on the GEISHA site. 3. Unpublished in situ hybridization information from other laboratories: laboratories generally publish only a small fraction of their in situ hybridization data. High quality images for which probe identity can be verified are welcome additions to GEISHA.

MitoRes, is a comprehensive and reliable resource for massive extraction of sequences and sub-sequences of nuclear genes and encoded products targeting mitochondria in metazoa. It has been developed for supporting high-throughput in-silico analyses aimed to studies of functional genomics related to mitochondrial biogenesis, metabolism and to their pathological dysfunctions. It integrates information from the most accredited world-wide databases to bring together gene, transcript and encoded protein sequences associated to annotations on species name and taxonomic classification, gene name, functional product, organelle localization, protein tissue specificity, Enzyme Classification (EC), Gene Ontology (GO) classification and links to other related public databases. The section Cluster, has been dedicated to the collection of data on protein clustering of the entire catalogue of MitoRes protein sequences based on all versus all global pair-wise alignments for assessing putative intra- and inter-species functional relationships. The current version of MitoRes is based on the UniProt release 4 and contains 64 different metazoan species. The incredible explosion of knowledge production in Biology in the past two decades has created a critical need for bioinformatic instruments able to manage data and facilitate their retrieval and analysis. Hundreds of biological databases have been produced and the integration of biological data from these different resources is very important when we want to focus our efforts towards the study of a particular layer of biological knowledge. MitoRes is a completely rebuilt edition of MitoNuc database, which has been extensively modified to deal successfully with the challenges of the post genomic era. Its goal is to represent a comprehensive and reliable resource supporting high-quality in-silico analyses aimed to the functional characterization of gene, transcript and amino acid sequences, encoded by the nuclear genome and involved in mitochondrial biogenesis, metabolism and pathological dysfunctions in metazoa. The central features of MitoRes are: # an integrated catalogue of protein, transcript and gene sequences and sub-sequences # a Web-based application composed of a wide spectrum of search/retrieval facilities # a sequence export manager allowing massive extraction of bio-sequences (genes, introns, exons, gene flanking regions, transcripts, UTRs, CDS, proteins and signal peptides) in FASTA, EMBL and GenBank formats. It is an interconnected knowledge management system based on a MySQL relational database, which ensures data consistency and integrity, and on a Web Graphical User Interface (GUI), built in Seagull PHP Framework, offering a wide range of search and sequence extraction facilities. The database is compiled extracting and integrating information from public resources and data generated by the MitoRes team. The MitoRes database consists of comprehensive sequence entries whose core data are protein, transcript and gene sequences and taxonomic information describing the biological source of the protein. Additional information include: bio-sequences structure and location, biological function of protein product and dynamic links to both, external public databases used as data resources and public databases reporting complementary information. The core entity of the MitoRes database is represented by the protein so that each MitoRes entry is generated for each protein reported in the UniProt database as a nuclear encoded protein involved in mitochondrial biogenesis and function. Sponsors: MitoRes has been supported by Ministero Universit e Ricerca Scientifica, Italy (PRIN, Programma Biotecnologie legge 95/95-MURST 5, Proiect MURST Cluster C03/2000, CEGBA). Currently it is supported by operating grants from the Ministero dellIstruzione, dellUniversit e della Ricerca (MIUR), Italy (PNR 2001-2003 (FIRB art.8) D.M. 199, Strategic Program: Post-genome, grant 31-063933 and Project n.2, Cluster C03 L. 488/929).
