http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/MCMC.qpcr/

Software package that implements generalized linear mixed model analysis of qRT-PCR data based on lognormal-Poisson model fitted using MCMC. Control genes are not required but can be incorporated as Bayesian priors or, when template abundances correlate with conditions, as trackers of global effects (common to all genes). Also implemented are the lognormal model for higher-abundance data and a classic model involving multi-gene normalization on a by-sample basis. Several plotting functions are included to extract and visualize results.

http://matrixdb.univ-lyon1.fr/

Freely available database focused on interactions established by extracellular proteins and polysaccharides, taking into account the multimeric nature of the extracellular proteins (e.g. collagens, laminins and thrombospondins are multimers). MatrixDB is an active member of the International Molecular Exchange (IMEx) consortium and has adopted the PSI-MI standards for annotating and exchanging interaction data. It includes interaction data extracted from the literature by manual curation, and offers access to relevant data involving extracellular proteins provided by the IMEx partner databases through the PSICQUIC webservice, as well as data from the Human Protein Reference Database. The database reports mammalian protein-protein and protein-carbohydrate interactions involving extracellular molecules. Interactions with lipids and cations are also reported. MatrixDB is focused on mammalian interactions, but aims to integrate interaction datasets of model organisms when available. MatrixDB provides direct links to databases recapitulating mutations in genes encoding extracellular proteins, to UniGene and to the Human Protein Atlas that shows expression and localization of proteins in a large variety of normal human tissues and cells. MatrixDB allows researchers to perform customized queries and to build tissue- and disease-specific interaction networks that can be visualized and analyzed with Cytoscape or Medusa. Statistics (2013): 2283 extracellular matrix interactions including 2095 protein-protein and 169 protein-glycosaminoglycan interactions.

http://gmod.org/wiki/Main_Page

A collection of open source software tools for creating and managing genome-scale biological databases. GMOD is made up databases, applications, and adaptor software that connects these components together. You can use it to create a small laboratory database of genome annotations, or a large web-accessible community database. At first GMOD just featured model organisms but now any organism with any kind of sequence associated with it is a good candidate as a subject for a GMOD database. There are GMOD databases with just protein sequence in them, with EST sequence only, those that are concerned primarily with gene expression, and even those dedicated to collections of RNA sequence. They have also heard of GMOD databases for oligonucleotides and plasmids.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 23,2022. Time-series data sets spanning twelve time-points between E12-P9 for exploring cerebellar development of the mouse in time and space. The database contains a number of mutant / wildtype microarray datasets including two complete wildtype microarray time-series (C57BL/6 and DBA/2J). The dataset also includes in situ hybridization and bioinformatic analyses. Exploration of this dataset will allow the investigator to assess differential gene expression profiles from a developing mutant cerebella, to assess the temporal changes in gene expression in the wildtype, and to verify the cellular expression of these genes in images from our in situ hybridization library. Using the database, the investigator can explore the developmental expression or differential expression patterns of a particular gene, or create lists of similarly expression genes by building simple search algorithms. These lists can then be mined across all the datasets in both space and time. Cb GRiTS's current datasets represent gene expression analyses from multiple cerebellar mutant and wildtype single time-point and developmental series.

http://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Blast.cgi?PROGRAM=blastx&BLAST_PROGRAMS=blastx&PAGE_TYPE=BlastSearch&SHOW_DEFAULTS=on&LINK_LOC=blasthome

Web application to search protein databases using a translated nucleotide query. Translated BLAST services are useful when trying to find homologous proteins to a nucleotide coding region. Blastx compares translational products of the nucleotide query sequence to a protein database. Because blastx translates the query sequence in all six reading frames and provides combined significance statistics for hits to different frames, it is particularly useful when the reading frame of the query sequence is unknown or it contains errors that may lead to frame shifts or other coding errors. Thus blastx is often the first analysis performed with a newly determined nucleotide sequence and is used extensively in analyzing EST sequences. This search is more sensitive than nucleotide blast since the comparison is performed at the protein level.

User-contributed list of biological databases available on the internet. Currently there are 1,801 entries, each describing a different database. The databases are described in a semi-structured way by using templates and entries can carry various user comments and annotations. Entries can be searched, listed or browsed by category. The site uses the same MediaWiki technology that powers Wikipedia, The Mediawiki system allows users to participate on many different levels, ranging from authors and editors to curators and designers. MetaBase aims to be a flexible, user-driven (user-created) resource for the biological database community. The main focuses of MetaBase are: * As a basic requirement, MB contains a list of databases, URLs and descriptions of the most commonly used biological databases currently available on the internet. * The system should be flexible, allowing users to contribute, update and maintain the data in different ways. * In the future we aim to generate more communication between the database developer and user communities.

A spatial normalization and atlas construction toolkit optimized for examining white matter morphometry using DTI data with special care taken to respect the tensorial nature of the data. It implements a state-of-the-art registration algorithm that drives the alignment of white matter (WM) tracts by matching the orientation of the underlying fiber bundle at each voxel. The algorithm has been shown to both improve WM tract alignment and to enhance the power of statistical inference in clinical settings. A 2011 study published in NeuroImage ranks DTI-TK the top-performing tool in its class. Key features include: * open standard-based file IO support: NIfTI format for scalar, vector and tensor image volumes * tool chains for manipulating tensor image volumes: resampling, smoothing, warping, registration & visualization * pipelines for WM morphometry: spatial normalization & atlas construction for population-based studies * built-in cluster-computing support: support for open source Sun Grid Engine (SGE) * Interoperability with other popular DTI tools: AFNI, Camino, FSL & DTIStudio * Interoperability with ITK-SNAP: support multi-modal visualization and segmentation
