THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on July 16, 2013. UCbase & miRfunc is a database of (i) human, mouse and rat microRNAs and (ii) Ultraconserved elements providing information about function, expression and correlation between these classes of non-coding RNAs and the disorders related to their aberrant expression. The genomics interface allows the user to explore where whole-genome collections of miRNAs and UCRs are located with respect to annotation sets such as band, disorders and known genes. The Blast interface provides a web tool for matching miRNAs/UCRs elements against any given sequence and providing specific functional information on the results. 481 Ultraconserved sequences (UCRs) longer than 200 bases were discovered in the genomes of human, mouse and rat. These are DNA sequences showing 100 percent identity among the human, mouse and rat genomes. UCRs are frequently located at genomic regions involved in cancer, differentially expressed in human leukemias and carcinomas and in some instances regulated by microRNAs (miRNAs), the most extensively studied category of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs). Here we present the first database which links UCRs and miRNAs with the related human disorders and genomic properties.

http://www.dbs.ifi.lmu.de/~bundschu/LHGDN.html

A text mining derived database with focus on extracting and classifying gene-disease associations with respect to several biomolecular conditions. It uses a machine learning based algorithm to extract semantic gene-disease relations from a textual source of interest. The semantic gene-disease relations were extracted with F-measures of 78. More specifically, the textual source utilized here originates from Entrez Gene''''s GeneRIF (Gene Reference Into Function) database (Mitchell, et al., 2003). LHGDN was created based on a GeneRIF version from March 31st, 2009, consisting of 414241 phrases. These phrases were further restricted to the organism Homo sapiens, which resulted in a total of 178004 phrases. We benchmark our approach on two different tasks. The first task is the identification of semantic relations between diseases and treatments. The available data set consists of manually annotated PubMed abstracts. The second task is the identification of relations between genes and diseases from a set of concise phrases, so-called GeneRIF (Gene Reference Into Function) phrases. In our experimental setting, we do not assume that the entities are given, as is often the case in previous relation extraction work. Rather the extraction of the entities is solved as a subproblem. Compared with other state-of-the-art approaches, we achieve very competitive results on both data sets. To demonstrate the scalability of our solution, we apply our approach to the complete human GeneRIF database. The resulting gene-disease network contains 34758 semantic associations between 4939 genes and 1745 diseases. The gene-disease network is publicly available as a machine-readable RDF graph. We extend the framework of Conditional Random Fields towards the annotation of semantic relations from text and apply it to the biomedical domain. Our approach is based on a rich set of textual features and achieves a performance that is competitive to leading approaches. The model is quite general and can be extended to handle arbitrary biological entities and relation types. The resulting gene-disease network shows that the GeneRIF database provides a rich knowledge source for text mining.

The Peptide Sequence Database contains putative peptide sequences from human, mouse, rat, and zebrafish. Compressed to eliminate redundancy, these are about 40 fold smaller than a brute force enumeration. Current and old releases are available for download. Each species'' peptide sequence database comprises peptide sequence data from releveant species specific UniGene and IPI clusters, plus all sequences from their consituent EST, mRNA and protein sequence databases, namely RefSeq proteins and mRNAs, UniProt''s SwissProt and TrEMBL, GenBank mRNA, ESTs, and high-throughput cDNAs, HInv-DB, VEGA, EMBL, IPI protein sequences, plus the enumeration of all combinations of UniProt sequence variants, Met loss PTM, and signal peptide cleavages. The README file contains some information about the non amino-acid symbols O (digest site corresponding to a protein N- or C-terminus) and J (no digest sequence join) used in these peptide sequence databases and information about how to configure various search engines to use them. Some search engines handle (very) long sequences badly and in some cases must be patched to use these peptide sequence databases. All search engines supported by the PepArML meta-search engine can (or can be patched to) successfully search these peptide sequence databases.

This database is intended as a comprehensive resource for UTR (Untranslated Region) biology in C. elegans. The database provides detailed information on UTR structures for all protein-coding mRNAs, and includes annotations extracted from other databases (such as WormBase and PicTar) as well as new annotations generated as part of the NYU UTRome project (including preliminary characterization of UTR clones, USTs (UTR sequence tags), curated sequences, and computational and experimental analysis of functional elements). Examples of functional elements within UTRs include predicted and validated microRNA (miRNA) binding sites (responsible for post-transcriptional gene regulation), putative consensus signals for polyA addition, and predicted secondary structures (which may influence the biological activity of UTRs). The UTRome project is part of the ModEncode Consortium, an NIH initiative to characterize at a genomic scale functional sequence elements encoded in the worm (C. elegans) and fly (D. melanogaster) genomes. UTRs are important portions of mRNAs required for post-transcriptional regulation by interacting with proteins or non-coding RNAs (e.g. microRNAs). To study the role of UTRs we are building a UTR database for C. elegans.

http://pidfinder.appspot.com/

PIDFinder is a tool for the exploration of the Primary Immunodeficiency Disease Ontology. Apart from browsing the knowledge contained in the ontology, it can also be used for the identification of PIDs based on a set of observed Phenotypes. The PidFinder web application is a developing prototype application that allows non-bioinformaticians to quickly view and use the knowledge contained in the Primary Immunodeficiency Disease Ontology. The application consists of a number of components: * The PIDFinder: allows the selection of a set of phenotypes and subsequently compares the set with the canonical set of phenotypes defined in the PID Ontology. The phenotypes, that can be selected are grouped by biomarker and are thus available in a number of different facets. Once phenotypes have been selected, the application compares them to canonical phenotypes associated with PIDs in the PID Ontology, by computing a semantic similarity measure. The similarity is determined using a Tanimoto Distance - the more closely related an observed phenotype is to a canonical ontology phenotype, the closer the calculated Tanimoto Distance is to 1 - with increasing dissimilarity, the Tanimoto Coefficient tends towards 0. * The Phenotype Explorer: a rudimentary browser for phenotypes currently contained in the PID Ontology. The browser allows the user to find phenotypes based on biomarker categories and provides some basic definitions (not all definitions are available at this stage) and disease association information. * A Heatmap comparing the phenotypic overlap of PIDs: In essence, the heatmap is a many-to-many comparison of the phenotypic overlap between all Primary Immunodeficiency Diseases contained in the PID Ontology. Again, overlap is calculated using a Tanimoto Distance. The heatmap is a matrix, plotting the Tanimoto coefficients for every PID/PID pair. Increased off-diagonal overlap between PIDs most likely indicates genes in the same pathway. * A Phenotype Frequency Visualization: The phenotype frequency visualization is a simple bar chart indicating how often a particular phenotype is associated with a Primary Immunodeficiency Disease in the Ontology. * A PID Expert map: All of the phenotypes and knowledge contained in the Primary Immunodeficiency Disease Ontology has been extracted from primary clinical or research literature. To construct the map, we have extracted the affiliations and locations of the authors of the literature sources and overlayed them on a map. The hope is that this will facilitate the identification of (local) experts on primary immunodeficiency diseases.

GOtcha provides a prediction of a set of GO terms that can be associated with a given query sequence. Each term is scored independently and the scores calibrated against reference searches to give an accurate percentage likelihood of correctness. These results can be displayed graphically. Why is GOtcha different to what is already out there and why should you be using it? * GOtcha uses a method where it combines information from many search hits, up to and including E-values that are normally discarded. This gives much better sensitivity than other methods. * GOtcha provides a score for each individual term, not just the leaf term or branch. This allows the discrimination between confident assignments that one would find at a more general level and the more specific terms that one would have lower confidence in. * The scores GOtcha provides are calibrated to give a real estimate of correctness. This is expressed as a percentage, giving a result that non-experts are comfortable in interpreting. * GOtcha provides graphical output that gives an overview of the confidence in, or potential alternatives for, particular GO term assignments. The tool is currently web-based; contact David Martin for details of the standalone version. Platform: Online tool
